Add non-computer tasks to log?

[Ken Mankoff]

Is it possible to add non-computer tasks to the log? For example, after a phone call run a command to say "the last 30minutes were spent on the phone"? This would allow me to us arbtt to track where I work on the computer, but also meetings and phone calls, etc.

This has come up before. The way to do right now that is to have some window where you can easily control the title.

The probably easiest way of doing that is to have a terminal open with this command:

while read -p "Current task? " task; do echo -en "\033]2;Task: $task\007"; done

and then you can match on $window title =~ /Task: …/.
