# Tasks versus Events

## Tasks

**Definition**: Tasks are individual pieces of work that need to be completed. Unlike events, tasks are flexible and can be scheduled at the most opportune times based on your availability. If a task is not associated with a specific project, it will be placed in the default "To-Do" project.

**Key Characteristics**:

* Have an estimated duration and a deadline but are not fixed to a specific time slot until scheduled.
* Can be broken into multiple worktimes.
* Are organized into projects, including a default "To-Do" project for standalone tasks.

**Examples**:

1. **Prepare Monthly Report**: Due by March 25th, estimated to take 4 hours. Weeklee.ai may schedule this task in two 2-hour worktimes based on your availability.
2. **Update Website Content**: Deadline on April 1st, estimated to take 6 hours. This task could be broken into three 2-hour segments scheduled across different days.
3. **Plan Weekly Team Meeting Agenda**: Needs 1 hour to complete and is due every Thursday. Weeklee.ai schedules a 1-hour worktime on Wednesday afternoon to ensure readiness.

## Events

**Definition**: Events are specific appointments or activities that occur at a set time and location. These are non-negotiable commitments that you have scheduled in your calendar, such as meetings, appointments, classes, or personal events.

**Key Characteristics**:

* Fixed in the calendar and cannot be moved by the AI.
* Have a specific start and end time.
* Often involve other people or specific locations.

**Examples**:

1. **Meeting with Project Team**: Scheduled from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM on March 15th.
2. **Dentist Appointment**: Set for 3:00 PM to 4:00 PM on March 20th.
3. **Yoga Class**: Every Monday from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM.

**TLDR:** Tasks offer flexibility in your schedule, while events anchor your time to fixed commitments, ensuring a balanced and productive workflow.
