(1) How to create a task, e.g. a conference, which is for two consecutive days from 10am to 4pm?
The easiest way to do this is to create a task for the first date and make it repeat for the next day. But wanted to know if there are other ways of doing this.

(2) Related to this, I have a subquestion - how to add the starting and ending time of a task?
Because, the 'start date' in toodledo is not exactly the starting time of the event. And there is nothing like end date and time. And I do not want to use 'duration' column (as I think it does not clearly depict a end date and time).

Basically, my intention is to arrange my tasks such that I know where there are gaps. E.g., in a day, task 1 starts from 10am to 11am, task2 from 12pm to 4pm. If I can create tasks such that they depict start and end times, then its easier for me to decide that from 11 to 12pm I am free.

So, do let me know if you have any suggestion regarding these.

Thanks...

I use Start Date and End Date. Since Start Date doesn't have a time, I use my memory to remember the time, or put it in the Note.

You can enable the start-time and due-time fields in your account settings and use this to mark exactly when a task starts and ends.

Thanks Salgud and Jake. Yes... I am using the start time currently to mark the starting of the task.

Any suggestion for the question (1)?

>>Since Start Date doesn't have a time<<

Start date DOES have a time. You just have to enable it under settings and functions used.

But this option is not really needed. Because the option "Future task" doesn't work with start time of the task.
