I've been using org-mode for a while now. I use it mainly for TODO-lists, scheduling meetings and as a time reporting tool. At work I report time spent per project on a weekly basis. I also sign off on total time spent every day at the end of each month. Currently, I use the clocktable for this which works good for the weekly report since it's per project (I have each project i a separate .org file). It is harder to get a daily total time. I guess it's possible to solve my problem using clocktables and some work but since this is the absolutely least enjoyable part of my work I would like to spend as little time doing it as possible. So, I propose an agenda buffer command for showing a work time summary in the weekly and daily agenda. Turning on this functionality would show a summary. Example: Day-agenda: Friday 1 December 2006 8:00...... ---------------- 10:00...... ---------------- project1:11:07...... Clocked: TODO This, that and the other 12:00...... ---------------- project2:13:40...... Clocked: Meeting with CBS executives 18:00...... ---------------- 20:00...... ---------------- Work-time summary: project1: 0:53 project2: 1:00 Total: 1:53 This would make it quick to browse through every day (or week) and get the time totals (or to check when it's time to call it a day). If there is some other way to achieve something similiar with existing functionality, hints are welcome. Cheers, Kennet B=E4ckman
