Org Time Budgets

This package provides functions to define time budgets per week and display clocked time in a fancy table.

(setq org-time-budgets '((:title "Business" :match "+business" :budget "30:00" :blocks (workday week))
                         (:title "Sideprojects" :match "+personal+project" :budget "14:00" :blocks (day week))
                         (:title "Practice Music" :match "+music+practice" :budget "2:55" :blocks (nil week))
                         (:title "Exercise" :match "+exercise" :budget "5:15" :blocks (day))
                         (:title "Language" :match "+lang" :budget "5:15" :blocks (day week))))

Running the function org-time-budgets-table will return something like:

Business        [|||||.........] 02:47 / 06:00  [||............] 05:46 / 30:00
Sideprojects    [||||..........] 00:36 / 02:00  [|.............] 01:10 / 14:00
Practice Music                                  [|||||.........] 01:04 / 02:55
Exercise        [..............] 00:00 / 00:45
Language        [|||||||||||...] 00:36 / 00:45  [|||...........] 01:10 / 05:15

Defining budget :blocks

With the :blocks parameter you can define the time blocks to show in the agenda. It takes a list with any number of entries. Valid entries are:

• week to show the total clocked time this week.
• day to show todays budget based on a 7 day week.
• workday to show todays budget based on a 5 day week.
• nil to display nothing for this block in the budgets table. Use this to align your different budgets.

The default value is (day week).

Adding org-time-budgets to your Agenda

You can add your org-time-budgets to the top of your org-agenda by doing something like:

(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
      '(("a" "Agenda"
         ((agenda "" ((org-agenda-sorting-strategy '(habit-down time-up priority-down category-keep user-defined-up))))
          (org-time-budgets-in-agenda-maybe)))))

The budgets table can be toggled using V in the agenda.

I don't want this thing to die. And I would like to learn cool stuff! :-)

• Improve performance I would love to learn how to make this package faster! Currently I am using default org-mode functions for gathering clocked times. Maybe there is a better and more performant way.
• Add block types Currently time budgets can be per 'day, 'workday and 'week, maybe something else is cool too.
