Hey folks - Ricardo here, Head of Calendar here at ClickUp 👋 📆
Wanted to share a video update with how we're thinking about calendar and its connection to time blocking and time tracking.
Check it out:

Maybe someone can answer me: I can view the calendar and arrange my tasks but it seems that I can't specifically see the due dates on the list to the left, so how do i know what I should prioritize if I don't know when it's due? especially while working on bigger projects some of my tasks are due within a month, but I need to split time accordingly almost every day to schedule a total of like 20 hours in different blocks.
Is that feature available, can we see Due Date on the left (besides simply filtering for everything due within X timeframe)?

Is there a way to see in which task list the tasks are when time blocking? I got tons of templates i use for different projects, so there's no way in a glance to see what project it belongs to in the planning UI. Please add filters and being able to group by list / folder would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Hello! Love the new calendar / time blocking features. I thought the demo video had said that time would automatically be tracked to the task if you click on "Start Work" - I'm not seeing that happen so not sure if that hasn't been rolled out yet, or if I'm missing some setting or preference?

Tabitha Morgan Pretty sure it looks like it will be "counting time" as in, a countdown will begin to tell you how long you have blocked out to finish the task, but not time tracking, that needs to be manually started
Tabitha Morgan
Federico Lozano - thanks! I was really really hoping that I understood it the other way correctly and it would actually start the time tracking if you clicked "start work"... now THAT would be wonderful!!!!

We sort clients by folders and sometimes, we just need blocks to work on "client work" instead of individual tasks. - It would be awesome to have a way to set blocks by folder and/or space as well as individual tasks. Example: "I have a project folder I am working in. I want to block off 2 hours today to work on my tasks in this folder. No need to block off individual tasks, just block 2 hours a week for working on this project".
Also, it keeps showing completed tasks which is pretty counter productive.
Also, Also, I need to be able to add tasks from standard view to the "auto Schedule work session" anwhere in a task... The calendar view is a bit lackluster so adding from my standard flow would basically auto set my schedule for me through the week. I can assign myself tasks automatically in meetings, etc. as i input tasks.
Cody Johnston
Also to be able to auto assign tasks by urgency and to be able to actually see the containing folder for tasks listed as this makes it hard to really know what i am looking at.
Cody Johnston
Another issue: If i complete a task it just keeps auto assigning it? Its complete. It needs to go away.

Ricardo Clerigo Excellent! I manage multiple workspaces for different clients.
Is there a way to consolidate tasks and elements from all workspaces into a single timeblocking calendar, rather than creating separate calendars for each?
Jason Shaffer
This looks incredible. Is there space to join the beta? I’d be happy to provide detailed feedback.
Walter Kuki
Do we have to link to google in order to use the new calendar?
I do not see a way to time-block or view the new calendar native to clickup...
Am I missing something? Is this not rolled out to everyone yet?

So happy to finally be seeing and using this.
Hopefully the following can also be implemented in the future:
* Option to automatically track time / record time based on the time blocks. The calendar will essentially be your time sheet.
* Time blocks get reflected in the Gantt Charts.
Thank you for all your hardwork 🙏

Hey ClickUp team,
First off, I want to say how much I appreciate the new calendar and time-blocking features! These are great additions to ClickUp, and I’m excited to integrate them into my workflow.
However, I’ve noticed an issue where "planning" and "auto-schedule" modes won’t schedule tasks during Google Calendar events, even when those events are set to "free." This is causing scheduling conflicts that limit the flexibility of the feature.
For example, in the attached screenshot, I have a "Vonlane Trip" event scheduled from 10:15 AM to 2:15 PM in my Google Calendar. This event is set to "free" because I can still work on tasks during my travel time. However, ClickUp won’t schedule anything in that window, treating it as unavailable time. Similarly, later in the day, I have kids’ activities (e.g., "Lindsey soccer practice" and "Lauren gymnastics") that are pulled in from a shared Google Calendar with my spouse. While I want to see these events on my ClickUp calendar, I also want the auto-scheduler to fill those times with tasks when appropriate since they don’t fully block my availability.
It would be really helpful if the scheduler could distinguish between "free" and "busy" events when determining available time—similar to how Motion handles scheduling. For reference, here’s Motion’s documentation on this: https://help.usemotion.com/tasks-events-and-auto-scheduling-101/understanding-free-vs-busy-in-motion#understanding-free-and-busy-events-in-motion.
I’d love to see this adjustment in a future update! Thanks again for all the great work, and I appreciate you considering this feedback.
Best,
Brad

Hey ClickUp team,
First off, I just want to say how much I appreciate all the work you put into making ClickUp such a powerful tool! I’ve been a longtime user, and I’m really excited to see the addition of the new calendar and time-blocking features. These are fantastic additions, and I can already see how they’ll help streamline my workflow.
That said, I’ve noticed a limitation that I hope can be addressed in future updates. It appears that the calendar has default work hours set between 8:00 AM and 6:00 PM, and when I enter "planning mode," I’m unable to add tasks outside of those hours. I believe (though I’m not 100% certain) that auto-schedule mode also won’t schedule tasks outside of this range. Additionally, I couldn’t find any settings options to customize these default work hours.
It would be incredibly helpful if there were an option to modify these work hours to fit different schedules. Even better, I’d love to see the ability to create multiple custom schedules and assign them to specific tasks—similar to how Motion handles scheduling. For reference, here’s a link to Motion’s documentation on custom schedules: https://help.usemotion.com/tasks-events-and-auto-scheduling-101/understanding-schedules.
I really appreciate the time and effort the team puts into improving ClickUp, and I hope this feedback helps make the calendar and time-blocking features even more flexible for a wider range of users. Thanks so much for considering this!
Looking forward to seeing how these features evolve. Keep up the great work!
Best,
Brad
