The Agenda section shows both Today's events and the ones for the previous 7 days. The red line displayed in this section for Today's events is used to separate all past events from present and future ones.

TMetric allows you to quickly start tracking time for any scheduled event. In the Agenda section, find the event you need and start the timer. 

The time spent on the Google Calendar event will be logged in your TMetric workspace.
