Would you mind explaining what you mean by a work log? Org-mode has built in logging and clocking features to track when you worked on something and how long you spent on it. Using the agenda, you can easily review all your work from any past date, week, etc. But perhaps you mean something more like a diary? > Since a work log is based around daily entries, I'm wondering if > anyone can recommend the best way to use org-mode for such a purpose. > I perused the FAQs but didn't see anything.

These sections of the manual should be of interest: - http://orgmode.org/manual/Progress-logging.html#Progress-logging - http://orgmode.org/manual/Agenda-commands.html#Agenda-commands (see the command vl or l - toggle logbook mode) - http://orgmode.org/manual/Clocking-work-time.html#Clocking-work-time > I read the excellent tutorial at > http://www.newartisans.com/2007/08/using-org-mode-as-a-day-planner.html > about using org-mode as a day planner, but a work log is somewhat > different, as it's a recount of the events and tasks worked on during > the day. You might want to check out Bernt Hansen's nice walk-through, which deals extensively with clocking: http://doc.norang.ca/org-mode.html Best, Matt _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
