Hi Andrea,

I have a couple of tasks I regularly clock in (organization, and read
mail/news).  These I clock in by F9-o and F9-m respectively.  They look
up the task by id and clock it in no matter what buffer I am in.  I have
F9-O as org-clock-out.

F11 is bound to org-clock-goto and C-F11 bound to org-clock-in so I can
return to my last clocked task simply by pressing F11, or I can visit
any recently clocked task with C-u F11 and I can clock in any recently
clocked task with C-u C-F11.

I use this all the time without thinking about it anymore :)
