Setting actual time on calendar events or timeboxed tasks should be reflected in calendar view
Travis Meyer
It would be good if we had an option to turn on some sort of "Calendar fill" to see how our time is truly being spent. For example, I'll have a meeting scheduled for 30 mins but let's say it goes for 1 hour. Yes, I can change the "actual" time to 1 hr, but in the calendar it still shows up as only a 30 min time slot which is misleading because then it looks like I've got white space where I could have done other things (if I'm reflecting on the day). So it would be good in this case to have an option which auto-fills the calendar meeting in this case to a 1 hr time slot, and pushes other things back or either leaves them in place to see where there is overlap and misjudgement in planning meetings properly

I have to agree. I'm loving the focus timer, especially how it chimes to let me know I've reached my scheduled time AND the timer keeps going (unlike other apps that just end the timer). However, what is the point in tracking the timeboxed task if it's not reflected on the calendar? If I ran over-time and into other timeboxed tasks, right now they are not shuffled to accomodate the extra time a task took, so I end up looking at a calendar where I now have to manually drag the timebox task out to the actual time it ended, before other tasks will be shuffled. It would be nice if this was automated.

Update actual time to calendar

Since we have timer for each task, I think we could update the actual time to the event in google calendar, which could be better to check our entire day's time spending. (Cuz we do not have an actual timeline in daily review)
So basically, the need is to see the day's actual time spending in timeline view. (I just think updating it to Google Calendar might be most useful and convenient

gotta echo this one, 3 years later. It's still not possible to adjust the time of a task on your Daily View if it's already added to your calendar

I also echo this. I would love this feature. Under this same umbrella, I'd also expect tasks that I am timing for "actual time" (which were never scheduled or put on the calendar) would then be "posted" to my calendar once they are completed or checked off- using the start time as the time I pressed the play button and the end time as the end after the total duration of "actual time".

Actual time spent to reflect on calendar
Yi Wei Lee
many cases I planned a certain time frame but might take shorter or longer than scheduled. Would love to have option for actual time spent be reflected on the calendar, rather than manually changing the time period by dragging on calendar
