Have you considered using org-capture with the clock options? I like using this because it automatically grabs the timestamp as well, and when I press C-c C-c, it clocks out. Handy - I've been using it to calculate my words per minute (dismally low for blog posts sometimes!). Here's a snippet from my config: (setq org-capture-templates '( ;; Lots of other lines here ("r" "Notes" entry (file+datetree "~/personal/organizer.org" "Inbox") "* %?\n\n%i\n" :clock-in :clock-resume) )) (global-set-key (kbd "C-c r") 'org-capture) Anyway, if you happen to use org-capture a lot, then it's a good way of capturing creation times too. =) Hope that helps!
