I find it odd that this isn't a more widely discussed topic. Most project‐management tools, including ClickUp, treat tasks and work sessions as the same thing, even though they’re fundamentally different. A task is a piece of work that needs to be completed within a broader timeframe—it may span days, weeks, months or even years, and often requires multiple sessions to finish. A work session, by contrast, is a single, uninterrupted block of focused time dedicated to one task, during which you don’t switch contexts or take extended breaks. Some tasks—single‐session tasks like meetings, quick chores or short workouts—can indeed be completed in one session, making them convenient for calendar time-blocking. But ongoing tasks, such as developing a software feature or conducting in-depth research, can’t be done in a single stretch; they unfold over multiple sessions, each contributing incrementally toward the completion of the task. ClickUp’s Planner is a great first step toward separating tasks from work sessions—letting you allocate time blocks for focused sessions and link each block to a task—but that connection only flows one way: tasks can’t show which Planner blocks reference them. I’d love to surface all Planner time blocks directly in a task’s details—perhaps via a new field—so you can see each block’s date, start/end time, and total scheduled duration at a glance, click through to edit it in the Planner, and instantly know which tasks still need scheduling and how much time you’ve already allocated. And because it would behave like any other field, you could filter, sort, and run calculations on this data just like any other task attribute.
