org: Clocking work time

 
 8.4 Clocking work time
 ======================
 
 Org mode allows you to clock the time you spend on specific tasks in a
 project.  When you start working on an item, you can start the clock.
 When you stop working on that task, or when you mark the task done, the
 clock is stopped and the corresponding time interval is recorded.  It
 also computes the total time spent on each subtree(1) of a project.  And
 it remembers a history or tasks recently clocked, to that you can jump
 quickly between a number of tasks absorbing your time.
 
    To save the clock history across Emacs sessions, use
      (setq org-clock-persist 'history)
      (org-clock-persistence-insinuate)
    When you clock into a new task after resuming Emacs, the incomplete
 clock(2) will be found (Resolving idle time) and you will be
 prompted about what to do with it.

    ---------- Footnotes ----------
 
    (1) Clocking only works if all headings are indented with less than
 30 stars.  This is a hardcoded limitation of ‘lmax’ in ‘org-clock-sum’.
 
    (2) To resume the clock under the assumption that you have worked on
 this task while outside Emacs, use ‘(setq org-clock-persist t)’.
