Reschedule in the calendar

As the task is added to the calendar you can reschedule it for another day and time. This time days does not have to coincide with the task start and end dates, it simply determines the time you want to dedicate to working on this exact task.

Let's say your superior assigns you with a task that should be completed until November 23. You take a look at your schedule and decide that you have time to work on this new task from November 19 to November 21. These are the dates that you will specify when adding the task to your calendar. If needed, you can remove the task from the calendar.
