Of course the format doesn’t need to be exactly that. Just the convenience of automatically adding the timestamp when I start a new line.

M-x org-timer-start
C-x C-c - to insert the first line
Creates lines like this:
- 0:00:17 :: wugga
- 0:00:21 :: hi
- 0:00:23 :: this is a timer
After the first line, you can do M-Enter to create a new list item and
the timestamp automatically updates.
