The Outlook Journal can be configured to track time spent working on
documents -- such as Visio diagrams, Excel spreadsheets, Word
documents. It records when the document was opened and when closed. I
have found it somewhat useful -- in a limited way -- in helping me
record my work activity. I can check the journal to see when I opened a
document to start working on it.

Other than that, I have not found much use for it. Interested to hear
what others say.


Yes. It doesn't seem like it would work for what I want to do. Yes as you
point out it seems to be able to keep track how long an application is open,
which is useless to me. I work with lots of applications open at the same
time and don't close them down as soon as I stop using them for a bit. Nor
do I care how long I've been working on a particualar app. Maybe somebody
uses it.
