Being able to set an end date for a task, such as

- [ ] 12pm-1pm Walking

✔️ Solution

In my use case, currently tasks just expand until the next task. So when I have Walking at 12pm and Reading at 4pm, walking will be scheduled from 12-4pm. Instead, I would like to be able to have some unscheduled time (i.e. the time between 1pm and 4pm)

To clarify, this is to have start and end times in the timeline view.

I resorted to use the BREAK tag generously, but I think an end time option would be cleaner, because now my to do list looks something like:

- [ ] 06:30 deep work (2hrs)
- [ ] 08:30 short break
- [ ] 09:00 idle
- [ ] 10:15 walking & lunch
- [ ] 12:30 idle

Not really. This is not a todo list. It is a loose timebox/schedule.

If you want unscheduled time, create an empty block for it.

My own schedule looks something like this (where I try to plan out what I want to use those blocks for). I also have some automation/scripts that help me bring the calendar events for the day into this schedule.

- [ ] 09:00 Start : GH Notifications / Email
- [ ] 09:45 BREAK / chat
- [ ] 10:00 Start : 
- [ ] 10:45 BREAK / ...
- [ ] 11:00 Start : 
- [ ] 11:45 Lunch

At the end of the day, I use the regex pipeline plugin to clean up unchanged lines and only keep interesting items.
