Add duration to All-Day Tasks
There should be a way to assign a time duration for a task without scheduling it into the day. So if there are tasks you need to get done and you know how long they’ll take, but not when you want to do them, they can live at the top of the screen where the all-day tasks are, but you can see how long they’ll take. So basically it’s an all-day task, but you can still specify how long the task will take to complete.

I use all day tasks as my habits tracker or a daily checklist. So it is not literally an “all day” task, but more because it doesnt have a specific time of the day.
Sometimes I like to drag them as i plan my day. For example I have a “shower and get dressed” when i drag it to my day it converts to 15min only. I have anothe task that is way shorter than 15min, and so on..
I want to control the duration of each all day task, so that when i drag it it turns into that duration. (More like what i can do with inbox tasks)
This would help a lot. Thanks!!

Just created my account here to suggest this, so added a vote instead! One benefit of adding duration is that anytime tasks could then use the Focus Now feature. I'm often needing to reschedule and adjusts tasks, it would be good to just start and not worry about scheduling tasks don't need to be done at a specific time - that's what the calendar is for!

I'm surprised this doesn't have more votes, it would be really helpful. I rarely schedule everything in advance because I don't have fixed routines. It would be great to set the duration in advance for all-day tasks and then just drag them into my day timeline when I was ready.
