Re: Agenda view for logging?

Hi Jose, Manish

I don't really think that it would be reasonable to make any entry
that contains a string that looks like a time show up in the agenda.

A fast way to add agenda item for the day is to use the Emacs
diary. In the agenda buffer, you can press "i d" to add a quick entry
to the diary, for the day at point.  Then make sure that the agenda
does read the diary as well, with

(setq org-agenda-include-diary t)

You could even write a quick function that just prompts for the entry  
and inserts it
into the diary, so the diary buffer would never have to pop up.
