I've been using org-clock to help with anxiety at work. I worry management might start questioning where I've spent my time, or why the priority of the day isn't done yet. If that ever happens, I have the answers, because I have a detailed log of the work I've done in org-mode. I wont hand over my detailed logs without careful consideration though, that might just give them something to pick apart.

If you have anxiety at work because of management micro managing your use of time, it may be time to go look for a different job. Also if you have not done or finished the priority work in time, they will not ask you what you have been doing. They will just ask you why it has not been finished in time.And no, you should not even tell them that you have those logs or make them suspect such a thing.If they are micromanaging then they will see the fact that you have this logging as proof that you have been wasting time setting this up. Also if that data is on a work-provided computer, depending on where you live, they can have the right to look at anything on the pc. The bottom line should be that you do the work that is assigned to you and if you have a problem completing that in time, you speak-up early and ask for help or an extension of the deadline the moment you notice you are not going to make it.
