That sounds like a great use of the a tag (like TODAY) so you can create
a list of tasks with that tag and pick what to work on from that.

You can use 'l' in the agenda view to see what, when, and how long
things were clocked for.  It doesn't summarize totals of the clocked
time - I use clock reports for that.
