Bernt, in some of your org-capture-templates, you often include a %U timestamp as well as clocking in the item in question. for example: ("j" "Journal" entry (file+datetree "~/git/org/diary.org") "* %?\n%U\n %i" :clock-in t :clock-resume t) Why do you do that extra \n%U? Since the timestamp is going to be identical to the first entry in the CLOCK: line, and since you can have/not-have clocking items show up in the agenda, why have both the :CLOCK line and the timestamp? What else do you get from having a timestamp that you don't get from the CLOCK: line alone? thanks, Tommy
