A post by Adam Speirs = made a useful suggestion in response to a question by Alan = Dove:

In particular, he posted three functions.  I have = gotten them to work, they are simple.  I am uncertain how they = interact with Org Mode, whether they work in a harmonious fashion with = the clocking code in org = mode.

Why would = you want to turn off the clock?  It is actually

I liked them because they don't require me to = diddle around with properties and drawers, with which I am yet somewhat = uncomfortable.

I agree, for this = application you don't want this.  Just a hot key to insert the = time,

A further suggestion is born or my initial = experiment with his function: I started the clock a bit too late, so all = the timestamps are off by about 30-40 seconds.  Is it (at least in = theory) possible to adjust all time stamps in a subtree by the same = amount?  That would enable me to correct all of my notes in one = fell stroke.

Of course this = is possible, but code for that would need to be = written.
