I used to have a feeble understanding of time. Yet, through this video. I am able to analyze and understand time differently. There is no past, present and future. There is just org mode. Org is life. Org could help the avengers defeat Thanos.

Looove these straightforward emacs videos. While I have used only the most basic org features for it's awesome exporting experience, I've always been curious about these features beyond the agenda. Integration!

Nice video, I have been using clock tables for a couple years, but learned about tags today. I found that to find the time I work for a two week sprint to enter the time in Jira at work, required using :tstart and :tend rather than block to specify the date range. I also find it useful to have a second clock report that splits it up by day, just add :step day. This is useful to catch when you forgot to clock something on a day by day basis or help balance the time worked during a day. If you want to see time as a percentage column, add :formula % Another tip is add :link t which will make the headlines in the report links back to the actual headline. Handy if you notice you forgot to refile a task. Often I clock tasks in my INBOX heading and then file it under the appropriate project heading. Now I need to see how I will integrate this tags feature I learned about.

Glad to hear I was helpful! :tstart and :tend are really useful, didn’t want to get into that in this video. You might be able to use a block if you set the starting day of the week, however? Could be nice. Check the clock table docs if you’re curious. Thanks for all those extra notes, I’m sure people will find those useful! I’ll pin this comment.

1:09 how did you clock in and clock out , what keys did you press here , I did not see any keys getting triggered in bottom row. are you using a macro pad or stream deck to issue commands ? 1:20 what keys did you press to manually adjust the clocked timestamp as for me the interval does not auto update ? EDIT : SHIFT up / down , worked for me for adjusting the timestamp.

@JakeBox0 9 ай бұрын

I have my own keybindings, I use ,ci for clock-in and ,co for clock-out. Adjusting timestamp is indeed shift up and down.

@MarkieAurelius Ай бұрын

just wondering about your opinion on one org file vs split org files?

@JakeBox0 Ай бұрын

Yeah, good question. Generally I think I lean towards split files for notes but single file for tracking todos. I do have one huge file for personal notes but that's mainly because I generate a website from it and it was easiest to set up from one file.

11:47 Concerning tags. So, the basic clocktable seems to report on *_time by Heading_* (i.e. by subtree). And that does map nicely to a Project-based structuring of work, allowing me to see how much time I spent on ProjectA, versus ProjectB, versus ProjectC, and so on. But is it possible to generate a report of *_time by tag_* ? For example, I might want to see the total time I spent across *all* Projects, on tasks tagged _:finance:._ Or a report of all work this week, but split by tag and not by Project. Can that be done?

@JakeBox0 Жыл бұрын

Does using :match "finance" do what you want?

@KT-dj4iy Жыл бұрын

@@JakeBox0 not really. My use case is slightly more complex than I mentioned. I gave a single tag -- :finance: -- for simplicity, but really what I want is to be able to see clocked time arranged by tag, for *all* tags, and rolled up into each tag if possible. So I'd end up with a report that showed me I spent 15 hours on :finance: work, 20 hours on :planning:, 3 hours on :email:, and so on. And in this form of report, I wouldn't care that those 15 :finance: hours (say) were split up into 5 on ProjectA, 9 on ProjectB and 1 on ProjectC. I'd use the default clock table if I wanted that Project-oriented view of things. In coding terms, I guess that when it comes to clock tables, I want to have tags handled a bit like cross-cutting concerns in aspect-oriented programming.

@@KT-dj4iy I think you might need to use multiple clocktables from the sound of it?

what do you use in order to get better looking headings?

@JakeBox0 Жыл бұрын

I use org-modern, I used to use org-superstar-mode. You can check out my Emacs config if you want, I have a video about it and the config is linked in the description.
