Same task over multiple timeslots
K

Should be able to work on the same task multiple different time slots over multiple days.
(Eg. working on an assignment over the course of a week. Maybe I spend 2 hours a day on it. And maybe I have a break in betwen - like I work on it between 9-10 and then have a meeting and come back and work on it at 11-12.
I should be able to schedule the same task over multiple timeslots. Like Sunsama. (This is the one feature I need that will prevent me from using this app)

I would love this. It would make planning my days and also accurately tracking how long certain tasks take - even if I have to do it over multiple sessions. (For example, I'm a musician and arranging a song is usually done over several smaller sessions around my kids activities.) I'll duplicate the task, but it makes it hard to know how long on average I'm spending per song

Seconding this as well! If I split up the same work across multi-days i've been titling each task 'session' as pt. 1, pt. 2, .... but would love to be able to split a single task up across the whole day or multi-days

Seconding this, for me the main utility would be lunch or when I have meetings in a day between the task.

Love the idea but you can duplicate the task and then time block. I think having the ability to block it separately is beneficial as you can add expected and actual time to each task.
I do like the idea but it will need to be able to assign the split task either using AI or manually drop the occurrences into the calendar or task list.

Karl Perry Having just come from a Sunsama trial myself, I found that Sunsama allowed you to add multiple timeboxes per day, or over separate days, either manually or automatically via recurring tasks or AI.
I do like the manual way of doing things, but I think it should be an option rather than the default. One of the issues I see with the manual approach is that you will have to do all the work yourself to tally up all the actual time spent on all the separate tasks (or use a separate project management tool, which is either extra work or an extra subscription) to be able to see how long a longer project took you to do.
For projects stretching back weeks, or even months, you'd probably be spending more time than you'd like tallying stuff up.
My view is that tools should be lessening friction and manual work for these kinds of purely administrative or data-collecting tasks, but should still allow options if we actually want or need to do that manual work ourselves.

Yes this is like a project feature! Would love this. And it shows you progress too and you can say how many hours you might need (similar to story points)

This would really help in integrating with project management apps, which routinely have tasks that take 5/10/20+ hours. BUT it's still nice (and important, I would argue) to be able to check off all your tasks for the day and feel like you have ended the day with a clean slate.
What this means in practice is being able to estimate a task will take 20+ hours total, saying I want to do 2 hours on Tuesday, and then, after managing only to work one hour on the task, being able to tick it off as normal and still see that you have 19 hours left to go.
Solution:
I'd imagine something like a label, but called a "project" or a "goal", and that would track time across a range of tasks linked to it. It can have a due date, and you can see progress and useful statistics. Ultimately I'd like to be able to import tasks from Clickup as projects or goals.

just started using app recently and i would love to see, ability to drag one task to multiple timeslots without it beeing simply moved (so as to be able to for exaple schedule breaks during sessions)

Major +1 on this, this app is perfect other than this 1 element which has been pretty confusing! It feels weird to check off a task as complete when I've only finished 1 session of it.
Any suggested workarounds in the meantime?
