org-clock-report

Started using today. I did not know that I needed it until now.

Currently using it for my freelance work to keep track of how many hours I'm spending on which tasks. Afterwards I use \`org-table-export\` to create a CSV file which can be used to create an invoice. If you haven't already, check out all the available options to format your table. [https://orgmode.org/manual/The-clock-table.html](https://orgmode.org/manual/The-clock-table.html) \`:properties\` allows you to extract properties from TODOs and place them in your table. Absolutely amazing!

Thanks. Probably will take a week or 2 to get used to it. Is it possible to do pomodoro with it? Possibly with desktop notifications.

this is *essential* for me otherwise i forget what I do on any given day

I don’t have to report my hours but I use this a lot together with having clocked times in my agenda. Makes it easy to see what I spend the day on, when I feel like nothing happened but it’s 4pm and time to go home 😂

I had no idea you could get a percentage of time, that's great thank you!

THANK YOU! I was like "What are they talking about" then ran it, so cool. Now I just need to figure out how to really use it! ​ Edit: Can someone explain to me what I'm doing wrong. I am trying to figure out the time spent on the current file I am using, and put the code chunk below in the file. I spent 10 minutes writing stuff then ran `org-dblock-update`, but the total time still says "0:00"? `#+BEGIN: clocktable :scope file :maxlevel 2 :block untilnow` `...` `#+END`

You may want to give [org-pomodoro](https://github.com/marcinkoziej/org-pomodoro) and [org-wild-notifier](https://github.com/akhramov/org-wild-notifier.el) a try :)

Have you clocked out of the current element? (Then reevaluate the clock report block)

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by the current element? As in, left the buffer or left the org clock section? I didn't leave the buffer, and I did leave the org clock section.

You need to use org-clock-into clock in and org-clock-out to clock out. It prompts you to clock out when closing the buffer through ibuffer/closing emacs (usually at least, i think) but for me I need to remember to clock out manually because I either use sleep or shutdown when I leave work. if you try to clock in after forgetting to clock out the day before, org-clock raises a prompt to resolve the open clock. Still I’d do sanity check on the clock report as it’s possible to run clocks simultaneously despite this. The format inside the LOG-drawer is: [2022-07-20 we 08:00]—[2022-07-20 we 16:00] if you type it in manually it will work just like when using clock-in and clock-out. This is also the default format for time ranges in general, and you can use shift+UP or shift+DOWN to adjust the time and date of this kind of timestamp. minutes are rounded to multiple of five.

Thank you! I knew I had to be missing something pretty basic! I appreciate the help!
