Time Tracking With Org-mode

Jeremy Friesen over at Takes on Rules has an interesting post on using Org-mode for his workflow. The exact situation is a bit more complex but it’s best thought of a way of time tracking.

Rather than use a packaged solution like Org-roam, Friesen rolls his own using the Org-capture template system. The basic idea is that he has projects and tasks in support of those projects. As he starts work on a project, he captures that project and further tasks are all accumulated under that project.

At the end of the month he runs org-clock-report to generate a time report for all the projects and tasks. It’s a nice workflow. One could, of course, prompt for the project for each task entry but whether that’s optimal or not depends on the individual workflow. Either way, it’s a good way of capturing the details of a workflow.
