i understand that creating a new task and adjusting clocks could be more
context switches than you'd like but once you have setup and executed a
few times following may not really a big diversion although it does require
one to be conscious of the change in the nature of task as it happens
(e.g. unusual problem delaying the task.)
1. call remember to create a child task (so the child's clock time
contributes towards the parent task)
2. remember clocks in to the task automatically and can record a link to
the task was interrupted by creation of this one (%K in a remember
template)
3. once this task is over you clock back into the interrupted task
#3 probably sounds like something you don't want to do. Bernt Hanson
has documented his setup in abundant detail and that has helped me a
lot. i'd specifically point you to his "<f9> SPC" setup.
