You could also create a remember task/note with the details and then file it under your current clocking task (You are clocking your phone calls right? ;) )
If you start the clock on the phone call task then you can use C-M-r to start remember, pick your template (I have one for phone calls that inserts details of who it is based on bbdb information) then you can file it as a subtask of the currently clocked item with C-2 C-c C-c. So many options... so little time :) Pick whatever fits your work-flow the best -- or come up with something new! -Bernt Samuel Wales <samolog...@gmail.com> writes: > For a look at some of the issues related to notes, contacts, > conversations, etc., search for "conversation manager" and my name. > > On Thu, May 28, 2009 at 11:46, Matthew Lundin <m...@imapmail.org> wrote: >> Hi Keith, >> >> Keith Lancaster <klancaster1...@mac.com> writes: >> >>> (Newbie question again) >>> >>> I frequently have TODOs that span some amount of time while in the >>> STARTED state.
