For this maybe try clocking the task in with an effort estimate of 2 hours and CLOCK_MODELINE_TOTAL property set to 'today' --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- * TODO Work on some task for 2 hours daily :PROPERTIES: :CLOCK_MODELINE_TOTAL: today :Effort: 2:00 :END: [2012-05-02 Wed 17:41] --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- then you can easily see how much time you've spent on the task on the modeline daily as you work on it (and what your limit/target amount is) HTH, Bernt
