Re: An Org-based productivity tool

[Samuel Wales <samologist@gmail.com>]

auto-clocking might be interesting.

there would be a concept of a dominating clocking entry similar to
dominating file.  i.e. if where you are is not a clocking entry, go up
until you find one that is.  if you find none at top level, you create
a clock entry in the logbook there.

if you switch buffers or move around, you clock out and in where you
were and are.  every few minutes, you try to clock in where you are,
or the dominating clocking entry.  this is done with timers.  idle
time might go to a special clocking entry.

or something like that.  the idea is that you don't have to remember
to clock in and out.
