org: Closing items

 
 5.3.1 Closing items
 -------------------
 
 The most basic logging is to keep track of _when_ a certain TODO item
 was finished.  This is achieved with(1)
 
      (setq org-log-done 'time)
 
 Then each time you turn an entry from a TODO (not-done) state into any
 of the DONE states, a line ‘CLOSED: [timestamp]’ will be inserted just
 after the headline.  If you turn the entry back into a TODO item through
 further state cycling, that line will be removed again.  If you turn the
 entry back to a non-TODO state (by pressing <C-c C-t SPC> for example),
 that line will also be removed, unless you set
 ‘org-closed-keep-when-no-todo’ to non-‘nil’.  If you want to record a
 note along with the timestamp, use(2)
 
      (setq org-log-done 'note)
 
 You will then be prompted for a note, and that note will be stored below
 the entry with a ‘Closing Note’ heading.
 
DONTPRINTYET     In the timeline (Timeline) and in the agenda (*noteDONTPRINTYET     In the timeline (Timeline) and in the agenda (
 Weekly/daily agenda), you can then use the ‘l’ key to display the TODO
 items with a ‘CLOSED’ timestamp on each day, giving you an overview of
 what has been done.
