Effort Per Day

Effort Per Day

[daya]

There are some tasks on which I would like spend a specified time of the day.  I
would like to set a per-day effort on these tasks.  The current effort system
seem to support effort per task, not effort per day.  What is the recommended
way of doing this?

What about something like:

*** TODO [#C] Read Mail/News
    :LOGBOOK:
[...]
    :END:
    <2013-04-03 Mi .+1d>
    :PROPERTIES:
    :Effort:   0:45
    :LAST_REPEAT: [2013-04-02 Di 18:29]
    :END:

?

Using a daily repeater for your task should be enough.

Also check `org-clock-mode-line-total' for more options.

Hi daya,

For this I use a habit that tracks this work

* TODO Some project
** TODO Work on Some project at least 3 hours per day
   SCHEDULED: <2013-04-17 Wed .+1d/3d>
   :PROPERTIES:
   :STYLE: habit
   :LAST_REPEAT: [2013-04-16 Tue 17:00]
   :END:
** TODO Tasks one...

Near the end of the day I just do an agenda clock report (C-c a a R) and
see if Some project has the required amount of time on it or not.
If it does I mark the habit task complete.

For individual (non-project) tasks the habit is enough and I give it an
effort so the modeline shows time clocked so far today and the limit

* TODO Some task I need to do for an hour everyday
  SCHEDULED: <2013-04-17 Wed .+1d/3d>
  :PROPERTIES:
  :LAST_REPEAT: [2013-04-16 Tue 13:27]
  :Effort:   1:00
  :CLOCK_MODELINE_TOTAL: today
  :END:

Regards,
Bernt
