When I punch in each morning using I the cursor can be anywhere in any file, and this will start the clock in the * Organization task. 2. I can then go to a todo item and clock in to it, also using I, and the clock will automatically stop on the *Organization task, and start on the todo item. 3. When I clock out of the todo item, the clock should automatically start again in the *Organization task. 1 and 3 do not work for me. I have to place the cursor on the *Organization task to start timing it. And when I clock out of a todo item, the *Organization task is not automatically clocked in. Am I misunderstanding something? I want to keep track of all my work time. Do I have to do it all manually? Also, how can I be sure that org-id is working properly? Many thanks in advance for any help. Louis
