Re: [Orgmode] Feature idea: Automatic clocking

[Bastien]

Here is another approach to this auto-clocking question.

Maybe what you really want to track is not how much time you spend on a
specific task but rather how you distribute your time over the tasks.

In this case, you don't need to explicitely clock in and out.  You can
act as if a clock was always running¹ and then you register any action
you take on your Org file.  "Working on this X task" would just be an
action among others like "switching task X from TODO state to NEXT",
"closing task X", "Archiving task X", "Moving task X under Tree T", 
etc.

Thus, instead of automating the aggregation of clocked-in tasks, you
consider yourself always clocked in and you automate the logging of
stuff you do (from which you can extract clock information later.)

I guess this idea come closer to what Samuel had in mind when he talked
about "profiling".

¹ Actually, astronomers from this list could tell us that the universe
  is such a running clock in itself :)
