Having trouble balancing due dates and keeping track of everything on your to-do list?

Try using the Google Tasks tool, which is already built into your Google apps.

Adding and Organizing Tasks

Create a New Task

1. Open the Tasks side panel or mobile app.
2. Click "Add a task" or the $+$ button.
3. Type a short title for your to-do item.

Add Crucial Details

• Due Date/Time: Add a date, and optionally a time. This will add the task to your calendar.  You can also set tasks to Repeat daily, weekly, monthly, or annually.
  • If you don't complete a task by the due date, it will roll over on your calendar.
• Details: Use the description field to add anything else you might need to know, including links
• Subtasks: Break down big tasks into smaller steps

Use Multiple Lists

• Click the down arrow at the top of your Tasks panel, then "Create a new list."
• You can create separate lists for different projects or responsibilities to track them separately.

Generate a Task From Your Email

• My favorite feature is clicking on the task icon from an email to add a new task automatically. The task will link back to the email for easy follow-up.
