![]() Need an extra app to make Tasks show up in your Google calendar (If anyone finds an easier workaround without an extra application, I’d love to know!).Not available offline without an add-on or other application, which means you’ll need WiFi or a data connection to use your lists.Not the prettiest, but also very minimalist (this is likely a Pro for many people).Need to move back and forth between Google Reminders and Task.Make sub-tasks and sub-sub-tasks! Also sub-sub-sub-sub-tasks! Not even bulkier task-management platforms like Wunderlist do this.This was the only completely free application out of all the other applications I reviewed.Multiple ways to get access to Tasks / Reminders that back up to all devices through browser access, extensions, and mobile applications. ![]() Turn any email in Gmail inbox into a task (no new sign-ups necessary!).Keep emails and tasks on the same tab and access the same lists from each of your devices.The problem with Google Keep, unlike Tasks, is that you cannot view your tasks on Keep in the same browser page next to your email like you can with Google Task. ![]() I tried the Google Keep app on my phone and web browser and concluded that it is similar to Evernote or Pocket for its ability to clip websites for later, but you can also use it for simple to-do lists and notes if you’d prefer to go that route. (As noted below, you’ll need an app/integration to use Tasks with GCal.)Īlternatively, you can use Google Keep, which is separate and distinct from Google Tasks, but part of your Google account either way. Here’s a really great comprehensive guide to using Google task, provided by Zapier. More like this: Tracking ExcellenceĪnother cool benefit is that you can choose to have all of your Tasks show up in Google Calendar as well. Moreover, you have to manually remove completed tasks by selecting “clear tasks” under “Actions,” but that’s a small issue (and likely an unpopular opinion, but oh well, there you go). One thing I don’t like is that you need to have an internet connection to get access to your tasks. People often use Google Task with Google’s other products, especially Keep and Inbox Reminders. Google makes it easy to add tasks or to-dos quickly and directly from Gmail inbox, Google Calendar, or a dedicated Google Tasks apps. ![]() Look at how simple it is! Just look! It’s almost as minimalist as a sheet of lined paper. If you sound like that kind of no-nonsense person who wants a more streamlined productivity platform, check these babies out: 1. If you have Android, each of these options is also supported but I have not used them on Android. ![]() Just like my earlier posts (and all of my productivity application reviews), when I tried these platforms I tested them on PC, any web apps, desktop applications (if applicable), and on iOS. While many of the applications I have previously reviewed could be useful for these kinds of people, others who like Wunderlist, Asana, or Trello might not like these applications as they are more slimmed-down (maybe excluding Remember the Milk below). These people are simply looking for a to-do tool that captures their tasks, allows them to assign a due date, backs-up between devices, and then lets them get on their merry way to tackle what’s in front of them. While some people are looking for many bells and whistles with their productivity/to-do platform (if that sounds like you, check out this post here where I reviewed several other options), many people want something simpler. ![]()
