I'm a heavy Emacs Org-mode user and VERY dependent on the date functionality. I frequently enter events, receipts, etc. using capture templates after they've already occurred. My current solution is to prompt for the relevant dates or change them manually, but this is time consuming and error prone. Emacs documentation and Googling failed me.

I'd like to be able to hit a few keys (or execute a function), change and freeze the date-time at (for example) noon yesterday, [2016-01-11 12:00][2016-01-11 12:00], perform some orgOrg-mode functions (state changes, capture templates, logging time, etc.) which all operate as indented with the new "frozen date-time", then hit a few keys (or execute a function) to return the clock to normal behavior.

Thanks!

Is it possible to change and freeze the current date-time in Emacs?
