I do the latter. I don't use date trees. I'm finding date-trees to be less useful for my note-taking. I'm looking for an alternative setup. Sam, do you care to elaborate on your setup? I'm assuming you've just defined a capture template that automatically inserts an inactive timestamp? And you use refile to move your notes around? BTW, it never occurred to me to use the logbook (drawer, I'm assuming) to automatically sort manually recorded notes.

[Orgmode] What is your journaling setup?
Not to detract from the awesomeness of the date tree feature, but for those who don't know, it is possible to keep logs in sorted order, either in the logbook (happens automatically) or in the outline tree (user-defined sorting). I do the latter. I don't use date trees. *** CONVERSATION [2010-11-26 Fri 10:00] this is an example Also, the agenda can sort. Just another option. :) Samuel -- Q: How many CDC "scientists" does it take to change a lightbulb? A: "You only think it's dark."

Hi Tommy,
I don't know if you've seen this, but I think Bernt Hansen's setup
will answer most of your questions:
http://doc.norang.ca/org-mode.html
I found his web site to be extremely useful. AFAICT his setup state-
of-the-art when it comes to keeping track of time in Org-mode.

I'd be really interested in seeing how people use org-mode for

activity throught the day and then being able to say at some later
point, "What exactly did I spend my time on?" I guess the more
important
part is deciding exactly how to slice and dice previously captured
data
so as to give a historical report with the right level of detail. But
obviously that is affected by how the data is captured in the first
place.
I'm new to org-mode so I currently have a very simple capture setup. I
have two types of capturing -- one a TODO and one just a note. And
then
I have two broad classes -- personal and work. So four templates in
all. I also have it prompt me for a note if a pause on a task or
complete it.
(global-set-key (kbd "C-c c") 'org-capture)
(setq org-capture-templates

("t" "Todo" entry
(file+headline "~/org/journal.org" "Journal")
"\n\n** TODO %?\nSCHEDULED: %t\n%i%a\n\n\n"

)
)
;; Log notes and time at various points in a task's life
(setq org-log-done 'note) ;; When we complete it
(setq org-log-note-clock-out t) ;; When we clock out
All TODOs are captured SCHEDULED for today, but I reschedule them
everytime I need to look at the agenda, so I keep today clean. I know
there are better ways, but I'm adding to my org-mode setup slowly,
so as
not to be overwhelmed by new things.
But as I say, I'm new to this so I know there's a lot more can be done
than just the above. Also, I haven't yet figure out the best way to
create reports from the above, other than just turning on log mode and
showing inactive timestamped items in the agenda. I'd really
appreciate
seeing what others have come up with.
So, anyone care to share their journaling approach?
