Google Tasks: Everything You Need To Know About The Simplest Tasks App Ever

Recently, The Google team seems to be excited and want to release products one after another.

After launching the new design of Gmail, Google has also launched new Google tasks application that is available for Android and iOS as an app. Google tasks are not a new release from the team but the apps do. With the launch of new Gmail design, Google tasks have become easier.

In this post, I shall discuss and share everything I know and learned about Google tasks applications.

Create a to-do-list in order to get better productivity and it is something I have been doing over the past couple of years. If you write down a task then you will be freed from worrying or forgetting an important task. If you have not started using a to-do-list application, so it is the best time to do it and get started.

Before Google tasks, Wunderlist was my go-to tasks application, but now I am moving my complete to-do list to Google tasks.

Using the Google Tasks app:

Even if you have never used tasks or a to-do application in the past, Google Tasks will be a piece of cake for you. Let me make it easier for you to understand how to use it:

Lists:

The first thing you want to do is to make a list of different tasks. For example:

• Things to buy
• Financial tasks
• Work
• Personal
• Places to Travel
• Movies to watch

Once you have made a list, you can add any tasks in the list.

Tasks:

Now under the list, you can add tasks that you want to perform. While adding tasks you can also add a due date and add subtasks.

Turn any Gmail email into a task:

It is one of the coolest features provided by Google team that made me leave the existing applications and start using Google tasks. It allows you to drag and drop an email to make it your to do list. This is very cool isn’t it?

Later on, you can click on the tasks to avail the email directly. It will save a plenty of time. So this feature will be a huge time saver.
