When I need quick dividers for better visibility, I adopt the approach
Eric mentions above. E.g.,

* ----section one------
* Heading one
* Heading two
* ----section two------
* Heading one
* Heading two

I've considered that myself, but I just don't like the look of it.  More than once I've wished  I could use something like the hline markup and get a horizontal line that was scoped with the reset of the outline in the org-buffer and on export.  So something like the following

#################

* foo 1
* foo 2

-----

* bar 1
*** bar 1.1
  -----
* bar 2

-----

* Baz!

################

would display as

################

* foo 1
* foo2

------------------    <= buffer or wrap wide, doesn't fold into foo2

* bar 1
*** bar 1.1
  --------------    <= buffer or wrap wide, doesn't fold into Bar 1.1 but does fold into Bar 1

* bar 2

------------------    <= buffer or wrap wide, doesn't fold into foo2

* Baz!

################


I'd guess it might not be too hard with the right but I haven't been annoyed enough to look into it.
