[Orgmode] Repeated Tasks

[Noorul Islam]

Hello list,

I have a requirement for calculating the time spent on repetitive
task. Say for example checking mails. I don't have a specific schedule
or deadline for this task.

* TODO Check Mail

I went through this document,
http://orgmode.org/org.html#Repeated-tasks. The methodologies
mentioned in the document requires a scheduled date or a deadline
which I don't have in this scenario.

For time being, I do the following.

1. Change TODO to STARTED
2. Clock-In
3. Check mail. After checking mail return to org file.
4. Clock-out
5. Change STARTED to TODO

I have feeling that what I am doing is not a cool method.

What you guys do in such situation?

Thanks and Regards
Noorul
