Suppose there is a fixed deadline for submitting a report at 13:00. I have spent the last 2 hours looking at various calendar apps and it seems that almost every app forces me to treat this deadline as an event with a start time at 13:00 and an end time at 13:01 or 13:00 if I'm lucky. In other words, the best I seem to be able to do is treat the deadline as an event and try and make it as short as I can. I find this more annoying that I probably should, but I feel like deadlines, checkpoints etc. are all fundamentally different "things" to events in that they are a single moment in time as opposed to a prolonged period (think single point on a line vs. an interval).<p>Does anyone know of a calendar app that treats things differently?
Some calendars (google, native mac) allow for events that have 0 time, but they are displayed as a block of time on the calendar instead of a single horizontal line (when I look at the thin block, my OCD kicks in and asks whether the deadline is the start of the block, the end, the middle...?)<p>Makes me feel more and more that pen and paper is the way to go.
