There is a widget on the marketplace but this requires way more than just a widget so following the tutorial is definitely a must.: [Timeline](https://community.openhab.org/t/timeline/115755).

As @pacive mentioned, there are several ways you can do this.

1. [Design Pattern: Simple State Machine (e.g. Time Of Day)](https://community.openhab.org/t/design-pattern-simple-state-machine-e-g-time-of-day/15407)
2. [Time Based State Machine [4.0.0.0;5.9.9.9]](https://community.openhab.org/t/time-based-state-machine-4-0-0-0-4-9-9-9/144208)
3. One way to implement 1 is instead of hard coding the time in the trigger, you can use the Time is Item trigger and set the time in a DateTime Item. You can use [DateTime Standalone Widget](https://community.openhab.org/t/datetime-standalone-widget/127966) and [DateTime List Item](https://community.openhab.org/t/datetime-list-item/127967) to set the date times.
4. The timeline picker already linked
5. iCal binding: [iCalendar - Bindings | openHAB](https://www.openhab.org/addons/bindings/icalendar/)
