Log hours is not required on my day job but I heavily do this easily with org-mode. This just get things done at least for me. I would recommend this if you&#x27;re using emacs. Org-mode has a feature of time clocking as demonstrated in this link [0] that you could handle everything even if you got interrupted. Org-mode is amazing that you could track everything. Generating a clocking report for review is easy as pressing two keystrokes on your keyboard[1].<p>If you&#x27;re new to using emacs, just use it for everything, every day, every time and after 3 months you&#x27;ll be comfortable with it and might be able to like org-mode.<p>There are lot of resources over the internet, stackoverflow, mailing list, blogs, etc. If you&#x27;re keen to learning emacs then the most important thing is just use it, use it, use it, use it.<p>[0] - <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;doc.norang.ca&#x2F;org-mode.html#Clocking" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;doc.norang.ca&#x2F;org-mode.html#Clocking</a><p>[1] - <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;doc.norang.ca&#x2F;org-mode.html#TimeReportingAndTracking" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;doc.norang.ca&#x2F;org-mode.html#TimeReportingAndTracking</a>
