The easiest way to do this is via the agenda. Simply type "I" and you
will clock into the task. Type "X" to clock out. If you set the variable
org-clock-in-switch-to-state you can automatically clock in when
switching to a particular todo.

Again, the agenda and org-follow is the easiest way to get to headings.

Best,

Matt
