Doh. I get the math now. 3d is 3*8h =3D 1d. Ok. Confusing = but I get it.

But I'm still confused what 'org-s= et-effort' expects/interprets compared to 'org-clock-modify-effort-= estimate'. Any clarification will be much appreciated.

Hi,

I= 9;m looking into effort and time tracking and have a few questions about ef= forts,

1) What is the difference between C-c C-x C-e and C-c C= -x e?

When I set an effort while clocked in, C-c C-x C-e asks for = an effort and formats it in a format I understand such as 00:30 or 1d. When= not clocked in, I have to use C-c C-x e (no CTRL for the last one) and it = doesn't seem to parse my entry for a timestamp or convert from 8h to 1d= . For example, I can enter an effort of "aoeu" and it accepts tha= t.

2) When clocked in and using C-c C-x C-e, the conversio= n seems buggy:

I enter -> converted to
1d -> 08:00
2d -> 16:00
3d -> 1d 00:00
4d -> 1d 08:00
7d -> 2d 08= :00
1w -> 1d 16:00

I get that 1 day i= s 8 hours, and 2d 8h =3D=3D 1d 16h, but I'm still confused why 2d is 16= h and 3d is 1d.

Thanks,

=A0 =A0-k.
