What I just tried was to add a DATE property like this: :DATE: DATE: <2009-07-24 Fri> DATE: <2009-07-20 Thu> :END: With this I can see the task in the agenda and see the clocked time(s), but I have to add an entry every time I'm working on it (and it's redundant because this information is already in the CLOCK property). I haven't used a custom agenda before, is there a way to create one that shows tasks in a timeline by looking at the dates in the CLOCK property? Thanks for your replies, yours too Greg. Geralt.
