In the morning C-c a a i j jumps to today and C-u C-c ! inserts a timestamp. In the evening the same procedure followed by a C-u C-c y to calculate my time in the office. Friday evening I calculate over/under time for that week (in my head) and note it. A typical Friday entry looks like that: *** 2013-04-19 Freitag [2013-04-19 Fr 08:45]--[2013-04-19 Fr 17:05] 08:20 (+2:00 +11:10) +2:00 over/undertime this week +11:10 is total over/undertime. Very litte automatisation, but only say 1 min effort a week.
