I do this with inactive timestamps. I've trained myself to insert an
inactive time stamp (via single keypress) every time I change tasks or
leave my computer and come back. This isn't explicitly for time
tracking, its more for logging what I did when and is freeform as
opposed to clock in/out.

Then when I want to see my timeline, I pull up an agenda with log mode
and then hit '[' to turn on display of inactive timestamps. It's
super!

Good luck.
