Hi,
I like the warning in the mode line when the time clocked on a task goes
beyond the effort estimates in the properties drawer.
However, I don’t know how to use this for repeating tasks or habits.
That is, I want to work on a given task every day for less than N
minutes and be warned when going beyond this amount. Of course,
using the Effort property will warn me the first time, but will be
useless after that, unless I delete the clocked time at the beginning of
each new session.
Is there a way to do that properly?
Thanks in advance for your help.
G.

Hi,
I have been investigating this and I think I could advice org-clock-get-clock-string. I have never written advices to functions and I don’t know org’s API.
Since I want to change the clock string only for repeating tasks, I have done this, which just adds “Repeating” to the clock string when clocking a repeating task:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(defun ocgcs (orig-fun &rest args)
"Advice for effort in repeating tasks"
(progn
(if (org-entry-get (point) "LAST_REPEAT")
(concat "Repeating"
(apply orig-fun args))
(apply orig-fun args))))
(advice-add 'org-clock-get-clock-string :around #'ocgcs)
#+END_SRC
What I would like to do now is getting the total time clocked today for the task and then compare it to the Effot property value. I have found how to get the total amount of time clocked for the task, but I don’t know how to limit this to today.
Any ideas?
Thank you.
G.
