Steal away :) I'm sure you can change the function to always put in the time if that's what you really want to do but there's no configuration to implement that currently AFAICT. > > 2.

I use the datestamp to record when the remember task was created (ie 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.

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.
