[Orgmode] Repeated Tasks
Hello list, I have a requirement for calculating the time spent on repetitive task. Say for example checking mails. I don't have a specific schedule or deadline for this task. * TODO Check Mail I went through this document, http://orgmode.org/org.html#Repeated-tasks. The methodologies mentioned in the document requires a scheduled date or a deadline which I don't have in this scenario. For time being, I do the following. 1. Change TODO to STARTED 2. Clock-In 3. Check mail. After checking mail return to org file. 4. Clock-out 5. Change STARTED to TODO I have feeling that what I am doing is not a cool method. What you guys do in such situation?

On the `TODO Check Mail' headline, clock out: C-c C-x C-o Note, that you can use the menu from the clock display in the modeline to clock out again.

Sometimes I do that also. But that won't change the mod-line status saying that I am Checking Mails.

Hi Antano, I can offer a response to one of your questions. Antano Solar John solar...@gmail.com writes: 2. Repeated deadlines are choking my agenda view. For daily reminders, would it be possible that it does not show what I have to do tomorrow. I solve this problem by adding a DAILY tag to my repeating tasks and then filtering them out when necessary with a secondary filter -- i.e., by typing / - d within the agenda (d is my shortcut for this tag).

[Orgmode] Repeated Tasks
Hi, I want to do certain things everyday. And ensure that I spend x time doing things that I really want to do. For Example, I have lost the habbit of reading due to lot of reasons. And so is it with practising guitar. Now if I want to discipline myself to play the guitar atleast once a day for 30 min. And read something atleast for 1 hour once in 3 days. I would want to set up repeated reminders. Using deadlines with +1d , +3d attributes. Now I have two questions. 1. Is it possible that I also specify that I need to spend 30 minutes on this activity and 1 hour in the other. And have some function that will compute how many free hours I have in a day assuming that I want to do all the things that I am supposed to do. Like say if I am due for reading, guitar, writing and the sum is 4 hours. And that I have finished 1 Hours Work say Reading. It is 6 pm and someone asks me for a date at 8 pm. Will Org-Mode be able to tell me that I have 3 more hours of pending work. (The real situation is more complicated than this. I have like 40 - 50 recurring tasks in a week and as a combination there are 20+ tasks besides proffesional life that has to be done everyday) 2. Repeated deadlines are choking my agenda view. For daily reminders, would it be possible that it does not show what I have to do tomorrow. -- Antano Solar John ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
