time if that's what you really want to do but there's no configuration
to implement that currently AFAICT.

either inline in the body following it or as notes in a LOGBOOK drawer.

when did I first hear about it). You can probably put it inside a
drawer if you want to hide it -- I've never tried that. For me it's
just an indication of how old the task is (ie. when the task was
created)
I use clocking data to report or track 'what I worked on and when'.

My clock data is also my timestamp for what I did and I view the results
in log mode in the agenda (C-c a l) and in clock reports for reporting
to the boss.
I clock stuff in all the time and for short periods... things that take
less than a minute to do end up creating empty clock drawers which isn't
all that nice to deal with. I have a hook that removes those now on
clock-out but I haven't had time to update my org-mode document yet with
the details. Hopefully I'll get to that soon.
In case you want it the short version is here:
,----
| (defun bh/remove-empty-drawer-on-clock-out ()
| (interactive)
| (save-excursion
| (beginning-of-line 0)
| (org-remove-empty-drawer-at "CLOCK" (point))))
|
| (add-hook 'org-clock-out-hook 'bh/remove-empty-drawer-on-clock-out 'append)
|
