I don’t do consultancy, but we I need to book for multiple projects at
work. I track my time and projects with org-mode (and found that
whenever I think “this is so small, I don’t need an org-headline for
this”, time gets out of hand). At the end of the week I then book my
time on the corresponding Jira issues using the clocktable in
agenda-view.

These are my essential customizations for that:

(use-package org-agenda
  :defer 8
  :custom
  (alert-default-style 'libnotify)
  (appt-disp-window-function 'alert-for-appt)
  (appt-delete-window-function (lambda ()))
  (org-agenda-clock-consistency-checks
   (quote
    (:max-duration "12:00" :min-duration 0 :max-gap "0:05" :gap-ok-around
		   ("4:00" "12:00")
		   :default-face
		   ((:background "DarkRed")
		    (:foreground "white"))
		   :overlap-face nil :gap-face nil :no-end-time-face nil :long-face nil :short-face nil)))
  (org-agenda-clockreport-parameter-plist (quote (:link t :maxlevel 2 :properties ("Effort"))))
  (org-agenda-start-with-clockreport-mode t)
  :config
  ;; Rebuild the reminders everytime the agenda is displayed
  (add-hook 'org-agenda-finalize-hook (lambda () (org-agenda-to-appt t)))
  ;; Run once when Emacs starts
  (org-agenda-to-appt t)
  ;; Activate appointments so we get notifications
  (appt-activate t))

(defun my/org-agenda-show-kanban ()
  (interactive)
  (save-excursion
    (search-forward ":KANBAN:")
    (org-agenda-goto)
    (org-narrow-to-subtree)
    (show-all)
    (fit-window-to-buffer)
    (widen)
    (recenter-top-bottom 0)))

  ; yes, you have to call this twice. Don’t ask me why…

  (select-frame-set-input-focus (selected-frame))
  (select-frame-set-input-focus (selected-frame)))


I have a dedicated emacs environment for work that I brought over into
homeoffice.

Best wishes,
Arne
