I'm starting to use Org mode's time logging stuff.
I'd like to be able to review everything I have worked on today.
Not the total hours, but each individual burst of work.
So an ordered list of the CLOCK entries would be fine.
I'm sure this should be possible, but I can't see how to do it...
Is there a way?
Robert.

Robert, Agenda view with log mode ('l' key in agenda). I also suggest you use inactive timestamps, then they can be added to the log using '[' while in the agenda view. This is very similar to my workstyle. With all of my professional projects I keep a project journal. My todos and notes are in the outline, and each time I change tasks, leave and return to the keyboard, or feel it needed I press F9 which I have configured to insert an inactive timestamp. Thus my notes files are riddled with timestamps, but they don't get in the way as I tend to put them between paragraphs. Inevitably when someone asks how my hours were used, I can pull up my agenda with logging and inactive timestamps and export to html. This makes it easy to provide documentation to justify my time. It also lets me track what was going on if and when a problem occurred. Only with Org! One note on using inactive timestamps vs active. The active timestamps always show up in the agenda, and are used as appointment reminders. The inactive ones you have to choose to include which is why I use them. My F9 macro: ;; Insert immediate timestamp (define-key global-map (kbd "<f9>") '(lambda () (interactive) (when (eq major-mode 'org-mode) (org-insert-time-stamp nil t t) (insert "\n")))) Enjoy! ------------------------------------------------------------------ Russell Adams RLAdams@AdamsInfoServ.com PGP Key ID: 0x1160DCB3 http://www.adamsinfoserv.com/ Fingerprint: 1723 D8CA 4280 1EC9 557F 66E8 1154 E018 1160 DCB3 ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread

Ah ha!!!! Success!!! I "always" use the agenda mode to review my TODO items. So when I went to the *Org Agenda* buffer, "v" gave me a prompt ("View:") and a number of choices (including "c" for "clockcheck"), but every option I chose gave me a message "Not allowed in todo-type agenda buffers". I poked about a bit, and realised/remembered that "C-c a a" gave an agenda that wasn't "todo-type", and yes, it does what I wanted. It seemed such an obvious thing to want to do, I was SURE there had to be an easy way to do it....

I was able to sort it out soon after the original email was sent, by closing the buffer, then reopening with "C-a a" and it was still stuck in that mode so I then did "v c" which reverted it.
