Folding comments under clock entries

Folding comments under clock entries

[Tony Ware]

I've been increasingly using clocking to keep track of how I'm
spending my time, and I like to make notes under clock entries so I
can look back over what I was doing. This can get a bit unwieldy if
the notes start to become at all substantial. Is there any way to make
the clock entries act like node headers (at least when they are
enclosed in a LOGBOOK drawer for example, so that the text between
them can be folded and unfolded using the TAB?

Here's an example of what I'm trying to describe.

:LOGBOOK:
CLOCK: [2009-10-29 Thu 11:00]--[2009-10-29 Thu 12:13] =>  1:13
Office hour, lecture prep.
CLOCK: [2009-10-28 Wed 14:35]--[2009-10-28 Wed 14:49] =>  0:14
Did something else
CLOCK: [2009-10-27 Tue 11:29]--[2009-10-27 Tue 13:50] =>  2:21
I did quite a lot here:
- this
- that
- the other thing
CLOCK: [2009-10-27 Tue 09:50]--[2009-10-27 Tue 10:56] =>  1:06
This time wasn't wasted either
:END:

It would be great to be able to see this as a list of clock entries
only (with trailing ellipses perhaps) and to be able to expand to see
the text if desired.

Thanks,

Tony

This is oddly on topic for the last few items.

I watch what I was doing when by adding an inactive timestamp into my
outline in place with my notes each time I come back to them.

I also use the clock, but only to track billable hours.

When I want to see what I was doing when, I use the agenda, log mode
"L", and enable inactive timestamps "[".

I don't like intermixing notes in the property drawer, I see that as
metadata storage only. Notes are content.
