Intelligent Time-Blocking for Tasks in Calendar View
Jordan Knautz
Implement an auto time-blocking system that schedules tasks sequentially based on their estimated duration.
How it should work:
When a user adds a task and specifies its estimated duration (e.g., 2 hours), the system should automatically place that task on the calendar.
The next task (e.g., 30 minutes) should be scheduled immediately after the previous one, in a continuous, back-to-back format.
Tasks should not overlap unless manually adjusted.
The system should consider existing events on the calendar and find the next available time slot.

Visualize the actual time you spent on tasks on your calendar.
is a fantastic idea. I often start a focus session then get pulled to do something else before I remember to end the focus. Then, I come back and because I don't know what time I started the focus session, I can't correct the actual time I worked on the project.
While I aim to have better habits, I typically know about what time I was pulled away and could know how to adjust the actual time if i knew the start time. This would make for more accurate records and tracking.

What do you have in mind for this feature? Happy to give a users feedback for a wireframe etc. Normally
in progress
features here have a lot of content and are quite outlined - not so with this here.Matthew Hodge
This might be a quick win, but currently, if I am in Focus Mode with an actual calendar appointment from my Google Calendar, you get the timeslot of the event just below the event title. (Reminding me, for instance, that the event really is just meant to go from 10.00 to 10.30.)
However, if I'm in Focus Mode with a
task
scheduled on the Sunsama calendar, it doesn't have the time below it. So, for instance, I might block out to do emails between 11 and 12, but with no time slot, if I get lost in the emails, I lose track of what time I was going to try to finish by.Is there any way to make the time slot visibility consistent across scheduled calendar events and scheduled tasks?

Would love to see a feature where you can see the time free in between tasks, similar to structured. Really gives calendars a different feel and can help think of how free time can be spent. very useful for the ADHD brain.

It would be awesome if this could also solve the problem of not being able to schedule tasks on Focus Time events

Is this what the Sunsama calendar is supposed to address? I fond the calendar a rather odd addition to Sunsama given that it doesn't seem possible to timebox on Sunsama calendar and then easily move the task to be time boxed on an integrated calendar.

The auto reschedule feature could benefit from some upgrades.
Right now, I have turned it off because, with the feature on, whenever I edit a task on the calendar I just get a notification saying "X tasks rescheduled". I have no way to see what those changes were visually. For me, it just feels like the whole calendar was reshuffled and I get confused about it.
If there is a way to see what those changes were easily, that would be great!

This is awesome. Excited to see this change.

This is by far the worst part of Sunsama, it's actually stupid how the whole thing works right now.
Planned time vs Actual time and the way Planned time can both be calculated from what's time-boxed on the calendar and whats not even timeboxed on your calendar is just so messy.
