Find project A and clock it in

When someone calls you create a remember task and clock that in.  Add
whatever details you talk about to the task as the record of your
conversation.  This creates or redirects you to work on task c).

Create or find task c) and clock it in.

Work on task c)

Mark C done.

Find project A by using the clock history C-u C-c C-x C-i and picking it
off the recently clocked list.

Continue working on task a).

HTH,
Bernt
