[Orgmode] Agenda view: How many hours did I work today, and on what

Hi,
  I would like to know how others have solved following questions about their 
work:

- How many hours did I work today? (of course, only time clocked with org does 
count)
- What have I worked on exactly today? (or any other day)


  I have been trying „column mode“ in agenda view (with Effort and CLOCK 
columns) and „log mode“ (key „l“ in agenda view), but neither does exactly what 
I want.

  For instance, if I'm reporting about today's time:
- if I worked today 10 minutes on a task which accounts for 2h of clocked time 
in the past, I want to count 10 minutes work for today, instead of showing 2h 
and telling „I worked today on a 2h task“
- my report must show only tasks on which I actually worked today, on not the 
ones which may have any other relation with today. For instance, a task 
scheduled for today but with 30min from yesterday shouldn't appear, because I 
didn't work on it today
- if today I clocked task A for 5 minutes, then clocked in B for 10 minutes, 
and then A again 30 minutes, ideally I would like to see 2 lines for task A 
(5+30), instead of just accounting 35 minutes
- the sum of today's hours should be correct: if I have been clocking tasks 
from 10:00 to 19:00, I expect the sum to be around 9 hours
- the report should be exact and not sum up times in level-3-headings; tasks 
from all levels should be listed together instead
- ideally, the report would state not only the time per task, but from which 
hour to what hour; ex: 10:58 to 11:22, worked 24min on task „****** try this“



  My motivation to have these queries are:
- know how much work I clock daily with org and help me to clock more
- be sure that at my job I'm working as many hours per day as I'm expected to 
(no more, no less)
- do a weekly review to know the tasks I worked on longer at each day from last 
week
- extract some work patterns: do I work more at the morning, at the night; for 
how long, …


  Has someone a 100% pleasant solution for this?


  Thanks,

Daniel
