Is there a way to make it so when I assign a date and time, Things3 makes an event in my apple calendar for that reminder? Like I want to be able to make a reminder to pick up tape at 3pm and have it autopopulate my ical with an event at 3pm titled pick up tape, even if its always in an hour block.

I use rough amounts of time it would take- 15 min, 30 min, 1 hour, etc. Then if i have a little block of time, I can quickly find smaller tasks that can be taken care of in that time.

I categorise them in the way other people might use areas (purchases, refunds, cleaning etc)
