However, whenever I start to use it, two things tend to happen: 1) I'll clock-in, and then forget to clock out, and wind up with hours on the clock for a ten minute task; and 2) I'll simply forget to clock in. Now, both of these can be remedied by manually editing clock-in/clock-out times, and org-mode makes this fairly easy. But I'm wondering if anyone else has this problem, and if you've come up with any solutions. Lately I've been thinking it might be nice to have a retroactive timeclock command which would let me say "I've been working on task X for the last half-hour", and it would automatically enter the clock-in/clock-out times. Even better, it would truncate the clock-out time of any other task that overlapped.
