Dear all,
Recently new feature was added - when you set an estimated effort for
a task, you can be notified when time is up.
(sound is controlled with org-clock-sound variable)
I found that pretty often from the beginning I can not correctly
estimate what time task will take and I need to give myself an
additional time.
To address this issue I wrote couple of functions that helps me with that.
What do they do:
When you have clocked item and want to add time (increase effort
estimate), you call function org-clock-increase-effort-estimate, which
will ask you for a time period. It will update update currently
clocked item in a buffer as well as a mode line.
I hope this might be helpful to someone
Kostya
defun org-clock-increase-effort-estimate (add-effort)
"Add time to the effort estimate.
Update Effort property of currently clocked item.
Update mode line."
(interactive "sHow much to add? (hh:mm or mm)? ")
(if (and (org-clock-is-active) org-clock-effort)
(let ((add-effort-minutes (org-string-to-minutes add-effort)))
(progn (setq org-clock-effort (org-minutes-to-hh:mm-string
(+ add-effort-minutes
(org-hh:mm-string-to-minutes org-clock-effort))))
(org-clock-update-mode-line)
(message "about to increase effort.")
(org-clock-set-effort-estimate-in-buffer org-clock-effort)
)
))
)
(defun org-clock-set-effort-estimate-in-buffer (effort-string)
"Increase effort estimate PROPERTY for the currently clocked item.
Jump to the correct buffer, increace the PROPERTY, jump back."
(if (org-clock-is-active)
(progn
(let ((back-mark (point-marker)))
(org-clock-goto)
(org-set-property "Effort" effort-string)
(switch-to-buffer (marker-buffer back-mark))
(goto-char back-mark)
(message "Effort was increased.")
))))
(defun org-string-to-minutes (string)
"Recognizes two formats:
1:30 - converted to minutes
30 - interpreted as minutes."
(case (length (split-string string ":"))
(2 (org-hh:mm-string-to-minutes string))
(1 (string-to-int string))
)
)
(defun org-clock-is-active ()
"Return true if clock is currently running.
nil otherwise."

Hi Konstantin,
I have added this functionality, but without the global key binding.
Thanks!
