Nice idea, I gave it a shot.
I advised `org-clock-in' so that each time I am clocking in a new task,
a new appointment is triggered. `my-org-appt-add' can also be called
interactively.
;; Make sure you have a sensible value for `appt-message-warning-time'
(defun my-org-appt-add (&optional n)
"Add an appointment for the Org entry at point in N minutes."
(interactive)
(save-excursion
(org-back-to-heading t)
(looking-at org-complex-heading-regexp)
(let* ((msg (concat (match-string-no-properties 4)
" *GAME OVER*"))
(ct-time (decode-time))
(appt-min (+ (cadr ct-time) (or n 20)))
(appt-time ; define the time for the appointment
(progn (setf (cadr ct-time) appt-min) ct-time)))
(appt-add (format-time-string
"%H:%M" (apply 'encode-time appt-time)) msg)
(if (interactive-p) (message "New appointment for %s" msg)))))
(defadvice org-clock-in (after org-appt-add-after-clock-in activate)
"Add an appointment after clocking in a task."
(my-org-appt-add))
Maybe another idea is to bind (progn (org-clock-in) (my-org-appt-add))
to a key in org-agenda-mode-map, since advising `org-clock-in' is a bit
too much IMO. Or we could use some kind of filtering to decide whether
clockin in an entry should trigger a new appointment.
Anyway, that's just a quickstart, let me know if this is useful.
