2nd + opinion - SNS2Guppy is spot on (at least with regards to Aussie & NZ regs)
2 cents worth - log IFR flight plan time if you need to obtain the ATP "planned IFR" rq's. This is not IF/IMC/ ACTUAL IF flight time as shown in typical logbook column. You can create a column in your logbook to log IFR flight plan time to know when you have reached the IFR rq... then scrap it.
story: I know a retired QANTAS Captain who has logged less IF time than many 1000 hour wannabees.
Tip: use your stopwatch when you enter/leave IMC conditions.
