The right way to do such is by using the property "Effort" (available
through pressing `C-c C-x e'). Type in there your time estimate.
That will even be used when clocking to show you whether you still have
time to finish your task, or if you're already above your estimate.
For searching for tasks to do, you can then have such an agenda view:
(tags-todo "Effort<>{}+Effort<\"0:30\"")
PS- IMO, there are still problems about the syntax of that property:
HH:MM format, or days of 8 hours, or days of 24 hours, etc. See
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/84360 for more info about
it. But, if you stick to one common format, it should make it.
Best regards,
Seb
