DateTimes

Hi,

Sometimes I will work on a single task, here and there, for multiple days. Sometimes I'm waiting for information, sometimes another priority takes over, etc.

How can multi-day tasks capture in BuJo?

Also, I need to estimate how much time I spent on a single multi-day task, which days I worked on it, etc. I capture this manually with START/END SESSION N snippets such as:

##### DESCRIPTION:
- **REPORTED BY:**
- **TITLE:**
- **AFFECTED RESOURCE:**
- **ASSIGNED RESOURCE:**
- **TITLE:**
- **START SESSION 1:**                2022-10-24T09:42:12-07:00
- **END SESSION 1:**                  2022-10-24T10:51:58-07:00

• Where the DateTimeStamps are captured in longform. I noticed BuJo captures only timestamps.

If using BuJo, how is time calculated for tasks that require multi-day efforts?

Thank you

The way to do it would be to split it by days. Otherwise 09:42-07:00 for next day works, but 09:42-10:00 does not.

(used Alt + Shift + S in each row to get the popup)

• there seem to be some plans to automatically show the duration: Add time tracking table line annotations for total time #23
• and to add some kind of calculation summary for a whole table Calculate total time for entire time tracking table #21
