Hi,
I have been using org-mode for 6 months to track my working time, but now I
am stepping my usage up a bit since I have found it useful to have all my
to-dos in one tool.
Until now I have had a template file with the things I work on, so that I
can easily create a new file every week. This is drive by a need to report
time every week to a fixed set of activities.
So far I have just moved the old file and then created a new file with all
my tasks in.
However, now that I am using more of org-mode I am not so sure that
this monolithic time tracking file is a good idea, but I am not sure about
how I can archive just the logged time entries, but keep the activity for
logging time on next week.
When I stand on a line with a CLOCK entry the archive function will archive
the whole sub-tree that I am standing in.
It might be that I should just create a number of files for the major
things I am working on and then archive the task as well as the time logged
against it every week. This means that I would have to retype the task for
the next week, but if that is the best way of doing it I will start doing
that.
Advice most welcome - I am in learning mode and want to improve my usage of
org-mode.
Cheers,
__

Not really an advice, but I was in a similar situation to yours,
and I ended up tracking at higher level. Instead of tracking time
on small tasks, I track time in thematic subtrees. This gives me
what I want: less logs, ability to archive small tasks, etc.
