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,
