Some time ago (well, a long time ago) someone posted an interesting discovery in Org mode agenda: “clockcheck mode”. I stored the link to that message with the intention of blogging about it and forgot it. I rediscovered it some time ago and decided to take a look.
It turns out this is actually a pretty cool idea. You can press v c in Org agenda to see fishy things in your clocking data. These things are:
- unnaturally long clock entries (which suggest that you might have forgotten to clock out), and
- unnaturally short clock entries (maybe you clocked out inadvertently? seriously though, I’m not sure what the use case for that one is), and
- unnaturally long gaps between subsequent clock entries (maybe you forgot to clock in?), but
- with the exception for the big gap during the night (hopefully you get enough sleep!) and possibly some other gaps like that (for example, for your lunch break).
See the docstring of org-agenda-clock-consistency-checks to learn the details!
