I have been using Google Calendar for a while now to try and block out time for larger projects but I can't get it to work how I want to. I am hoping someone might have some ideas for me.

Lets say I decide that I want to work on Project A from 10.30 to 11.30 each day for a week. Under project A I have a whole range of tasks set out in order. I want to block out this time on my calendar so I set it up and sync it to Google. That is fine for calendar but not my to do list because once I get past 11.30am on Monday, all the items on the list still show up, when I don't want to see them until Tuesday.

I could use a context instead but that does not help with my calendar.  

I can work around by switching between my to do and my outline but it is not that intuitive because I have to keep an eye on my calendar as well as my to do list.

Any thoughts.  

Cheers

Can I suggest that you read this blog post?

I think you can set up a recurring daily project and by playing with the advanced options, only the uncomplete subtasks will appear each day until the project is finished.

You may have to play with your Synchronisation Setup to get only the active task.

Hope this help.
