Essentially yes. If I'm working on tasks for my company Norang then I set the norang.org Organization task as the default task. I'll work on tasks in norang.org, clocking them in and out and any leftover remaining time goes to the organization task in that file. If I switch contexts to some client's projects then I set the Organization task in that client file as the default task and work on their tasks. Leftover time is then clocked against the client. This way if I work for a client from 10AM-noon and clock in various tasks in the client file I get 2 hours of clocked time for the client even if the individual tasks I clock in only add up to 1 hour 55 minutes. The leftover 5 minutes end up on the organization task for that client and it's a more accurate reflection of where I really spent my time. If I am interrupted by something during that work I create a capture task which automatically clocks in for whatever amount of time that interruption takes and minutes are allocated to the right project when that task is refiled to the appropriate org file.
