Subject: Progress logging with org-mode
Date: Sat, 29 Sep 2007 01:01:47 +0000 (UTC) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <loom.20070929T004704-153@post.gmane.org> (raw)
A feature of org-mode I have started to use a lot is the clock, to record the
amount of time I spend on different tasks. I'll start a clock in the task or
subtask I'm working on, and then clock out and add a note when I move to a
differnt task.
The result is often something like this:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Tasks
** Task 1
*** Sub-task Foo
CLOCK: [2007-09-28 Fri 11:52]--[2007-09-28 Fri 12:53] => 1:01
- Finally cracked the Foo problem
CLOCK: [2007-09-28 Fri 10:50]--[2007-09-28 Fri 11:50] => 1:00
- Dealing with problems continuing Foo-ing
CLOCK: [2007-09-28 Fri 09:50]--[2007-09-28 Fri 10:50] => 1:00
- A good start to Foo
This is some information that I don't want to forget about doing Foo.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
As you can see, the clock notes track my activity within a subtask, but the
indentation seems odd, and the useful information about the subtask is in
danger of being swamped by a mass of reverse-ordered progress logs.
Has anyone got some suggestions of better ways to do this?
(preferably using Org-mode because I really like it ;)
