Have you considered using org-capture with the clock options? I like
using this because it automatically grabs the timestamp as well, and
when I press C-c C-c, it clocks out. Handy - I've been using it to
calculate my words per minute (dismally low for blog posts sometimes!).
Here's a snippet from my config:
(setq org-capture-templates '(
;; Lots of other lines here
("r" "Notes" entry
(file+datetree "~/personal/organizer.org" "Inbox")
"* %?\n\n%i\n" :clock-in :clock-resume)
))
(global-set-key (kbd "C-c r") 'org-capture)
Anyway, if you happen to use org-capture a lot, then it's a good way of
capturing creation times too. =)
Hope that helps!
