Some interesting results came back from an academic paper in 2022 by 3 researchers  Jeong Hwang and Suk.  Their research  studied  2129 participants which showed how the presentation of time intervals, either as a duration or a calendar date influences task scheduling.

To be clear, a duration presentation means saying something such as  “X will happen in 10 days” whereas a calendar presentation means saying something like  “X will happen on August 1st”).
