Alexander,

Have you ever looked at The Journal (http://www.davidrm.com)? It is a journaling, writing program with a zillion features, one of which is a stop watch, the time of which you can then insert into your journal. Not the most sophisticated approach, but perhaps practical, especially given the many other features of this program. Just for the record, some of these features are as follows:

1. Keep dated or “notebook” (non-dated) databases; that is, entries categorized by date or entries with your own categories, like most of our free-form databases.

2. A tabbed interface for switching among the databases.

3. A full-range of writing tools, including spell-checker, thesaurus, word counts and more.

4. Further categorize sections of text within any single entry by assigning topics to them. You can assign any number of topics within any entry, though specific text can only have one topic. Search by topic.

5. Full-featured word processor (though, no footnoting, something I miss), including a crude outliner.

If you haven’t checked it out, it is worth a look.

Steve Z.
