Working near to him is next to impossible (though if my wife or his 8-year-old sister is around, it might be accomplished). This project is meant for when I'm at work, I don't even try (nor want) to use it at home. > Marcin, I wonder if you might like to adapt some code from > sachachua.com/dotemacs for clocking into a task by taking advantage of the > org refiling system, and the idea of setting up a hydra or other shortcuts > for common tasks. The code might need to be updated, not sure. If you're Well, I think I have something even better - https://github.com/akirak/counsel-org-clock (I find Counsel/Ivy interface much superior to the default refiling one). I have my org-clock-history-length set to 144, and I populate it on Emacs start with org-mru-clock. Also, I have a 10-head hydra for Org-related stuff (8 heads are related to clocking). > using Org and another time tracking system that might have better reports, > you might like to set up something like what I have, where I can use a > single key to clock into both Org and Quantified Awesome with a pre-defined > or prompted category. For the purposes of my work, I have written a simple Toggl integration. I also think about writing some stuff to generate nice reports within Emacs. > I find time analysis useful for things like calibrating my estimates and > expectations, learning about my revealed preferences and trends over time, > and feeling more satisfied about my days/weeks/months.

Definitely! As of now, the main use is to make sure I don't get distracted too much at work so that I can actually make ends meet (I'm paid by an hour), so this is a crucial part of my work infrastructure. Also, this means it /must/ be a harsh taskmaster (at least for some time). Doing some QS-y stuff would be nice, but this is not the priority now. > Have fun! I do, thanks!
