Yes, that's exactly what I was looking for, thanks!

Joost,

I keep a time stamped journal of all of my projects. Every time I
switch tasks I add in an inactive timestamp, and I make sure each TODO
item is timestamped on close.

Then I can open the agenda for just that file, enter logbook mode, and
enable inactive timestamps. This gives me a great detailed timeline as
to what occurred and when.

It does not tally hours automatically, but I have previously used it
to justify hours in my consulting practice.

Not the drawer, logbook mode. "l" in the agenda.

[O] Track time on day-to-day basis

2016-11-25 Thread Joost Kremers

Hi all,

I've come into the need to track the time I'm working on a 
particular project, which is great with Org, but I also need to 
report the tracked time on a day-to-day basis. This seems somewhat 
less straightforward to do. I realize I can generate a report 
limited to today by specifying `:block today`, but that only gives 
me the time clocked today. What do I do when I want to get a 
day-to-day overview of the time spent on a project? Do I need to 
maintain another table by hand, in which I copy the time 
calculated by `org-clock-report` at the end of each day? Or is 
there a better method?


BTW, just looking at the LOGBOOK drawer doesn't work, because I 
may clock in and out of a project several times a day.


Thanks for any hints and suggestions!
