[2010-05-03 Mon 14:52] The binding for that is documented at http://doc.norang.ca/org-mode.html#sec-15_21 > 2.

Anywhere in the body of the text works fine for me. My remember templates put the timestamp after the clock drawer * TODO blah :CLOCK:... [2010-05-03 Mon 14:59] [[link to stuff]] but anywhere will work - it's just text. > > 3.

The first thing I do when I clock-in in the morning is hit either f9-o or f9-m to clock in my organization or read mail task (depending on which one I start first). From there remember tasks interrupt the clock temporarily and clocking continues on whatever I work on until I manually clock out. HTH, Bernt
