I really struggle I may have mislead you; I do not mix 'n match in a single org file. A project file will have various entries as required (meeting notes, todos, actual code, whatever) but the time logging is completely separate. I log all my activities and each entry simply indicates the particular project I am working on (or whatever, like reading emails ;-). The logging is in a standalone file, imaginatively called log.org. Likewise, general GTD stuff also goes into separate files: tasks.org, diary.org. So maybe not what you want after all...

I use it pretty much like you for org related stuff: to keep various systems in sync. --=20 : Eric S Fraga (GnuPG: 0xC89193D8FFFCF67D) in Emacs 24.0.92.1 : using Org-mode version 7.8.03 (release_7.8.03.283.g171ea)
