Re: [Orgmode] timer for a task
Carsten, thank you for explanation. Hopefully, I will get FSF papers soon. In a meanwhile, here is another patch that introduces following changes: In case we set effort estimate on the currently clocked item, show message when time is up (notification is shown only once) * Linux only: If libnotify is used - the standard notification system in linux, then show notification with it. Note: Additional package libnotify-bin should be installed. Additionally, if variable org-clock-sound is set, interpret it as path to sound file and play it (wav files only). * If aplay (tool from alsa - standard linux sound system) is available play sound with it (all type of files). So, if someone has interest in this features, please try it. I also would like to discuss If we want this functionality (sound and notification) in the core, or it is better to put it to the extension... Or, just introduce another variable that controls if we show notification or not... TODO: * As proposed by Daniel, give user an option to see total time, spend on the task instead of currently clocked time. In fact, this functionality requires refactoring of org-clock-sum function. Is it ok, if I do it? best, Konstantin patch is made on the git version of orgmode.

Hi. I suppose you talk about estimated efforts. I also have noticed that I work better if I have defined them, but it is very easy to miss them and work on a task more time than planned. An easy improvement would be to show at the mode line not only how much time you have worked on the current task but also the remaining time according to your effort estimate. And if it comes to 0, highlight it noticeably. Other useful things to show would be the *total* elapsed time (not only the elapsed time of the last C-c C-x C-i) or directly the effort estimate (instead of the remaining time, the total time).

Here is the patch to org-clock.el that does show estimated effort in the mode-line if it is set. Like so: 01:20/01:30 (clocked time/estimated time) It does it by: * Setting new variable org-clock-effort in org-clock-in function. * If org-clock-effort is not nil, show estimated effort in the mode-line. I would like to go further and do the following: * Make a beep/or highlight if we spend more time on a task that initially intended * As proposed by Daniel, give user an option to see total time, spend on the task instead of currently clocked time. Does somebody else need this? Will this changes be accepted to the orgmode-core? I just saw that in order to contribute, you need to sign some papers.. Is this the only way? I am new to open-source, so I am not really familiar with such things. best, Konstantin On Mon, May 25, 2009 at 12:44 PM, Eraldo Helal ad...@eraldo.at wrote: Sounds good to me.

I am talking about effort estimates - I'v missed this chapter for some reason from the manual. I like the idea you proposed - to show how much time is left in the mode line. And I think I am going to write necessary code for this. Or, may be someone has even better idea? best, Konstantin On Mon, May 25, 2009 at 11:25 AM, Daniel Clemente n142...@gmail.com wrote: Hi. I suppose you talk about estimated efforts. I also have noticed that I work better if I have defined them, but it is very easy to miss them and work on a task more time than planned. An easy improvement would be to show at the mode line not only how much time you have worked on the current task but also the remaining time according to your effort estimate. And if it comes to 0, highlight it noticeably. Other useful things to show would be the *total* elapsed time (not only the elapsed time of the last C-c C-x C-i) or directly the effort estimate (instead of the remaining time, the total time). And as you say, an alarm would be useful. -- Daniel El dl, mai 25 2009, Konstantin Antipin va escriure: Hi everybody! I am constantly trying to be more productive, and there is one thing that I noticed: If you give yourself a specific time for a task, then you tend to finish this task in this time. It helps to stay focused and do stuff that is most important. So, the question is - Is there any way to set a timer on a taks, and get a bell when it is expired? Some time before I even wrote a small extension that helps me to do that http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/tea-time But now I am thinking - is there an orgmode-way to do that? It would be great to integrate it with great time tracking system, for example... If nobody uses proposed feature, please give me a hint how it would be best to do that. my best, Konstantin ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
