# 2.3. Event Types

There are two types of entries in Korganizer:

- Events start and finish at distinct date. You can also specify distinct start and finish times, but you don't have to. While business meetings, personal anniversaries and cinema visits are examples of carefully planned events with exact time scheduling, a holiday is an event that takes several days and thus there is no need to specify exact start and finish times.

- To-Do's are events that must take place no later than a certain date, but they can also take place sooner.

Naturally, what began as a To-Do may later require exact timing. Say it is July 1 and you need to go to a hairdresser withing a week. On July 3 you talk to your hairdresser and agree on an exact time. Thus the original To-Do becomes similar to an appointment.

Korganizer makes adding exact time to a To-Do very easy. If you uncheck the No time associated checkbox[1] and enter the appropriate time, your To-Do becomes very similar to an event (but without recurrence tab, which is natural, since a to-do task is supposed to be a one-time only event).

### Notes

[1] | The No time associated checkbox only appears when the No due date is unchecked.
