How Do U Get A Bandana To Look Like Jimmy

333 Project Tasks: simple and efficient management of tasks

He tested many applications to organize my tasks: GToDo , Korganizer , Tasque , ThinkingRock , Remember the Milk, Getting Things Gnome , Tasko ... and continue testing every time I have occasion.

For some time I'm using Google Tasks, a simple and practical application that is integrated into GMail . You do not have the versatility of other, more complex as I have mentioned before but perfectly fulfills what I want from a program of this type: efficient management of tasks.


Google Activation Tasks

GTasks is not a standalone application but an addition to GMail therefore the first thing to do to use this program is entering our GMail account . When we logged , we select Force, which is on the left menu, right under Contacts . Once done, you will see the window of Google Tasks in the other corner of the screen (bottom right). We can put
GTasks full screen or separated from GMail by remaining in a separate window browser.


Add tasks to the default list


The first time we used GTasks , we default to a name list of the form Fulanito's list. Obviously, each will leave his name. I appears Luis José's list.
To add a task, we just click in the list, write the task and press ENTER. We may add, if we want additional information such as the due date, notes, links.


A list for each context

capture José Luis 's list that accompanies this article is deliberately written assignments for this post, actually I have it empty the list and I have not deleted because GTasks does not.
Typically tasks have lists that group the same type. For example, my lists are "Teaching", "Domestic Affairs", "Productivity", "Esperanto", "Books, records and movies", "Waiting" and "ADQ."


Convert emails into tasks

Add to tasks is one of the most useful options GTasks , is to convert an e-mail directly to a task. This option will have a drop down list that appears when you click on the button More Actions (right next to Update ).
The great advantage of passing emails to the task lists is that everything is in place. We can archive email and let the inbox clean. And solve the tasks at the right time when we have to process the list in question. This does not fall into the mistake of using the mail as organization system is better than the weight of the organization rests on the lists. Subtasks




A complex task that requires several steps can be divided in several subtasks. This uses the TAB key, so that the subtasks are indented .
A subtask in turn, can be divided into sub-subtasks, and so we can continue to build a fairly complex hierarchy, something not recommended. If we keep our system simple and effective is better not to go beyond two levels.


Best of Google Tasks
  • is tightly integrated with GMail
  • is very easy to use
  • not need to install anything on your computer


aspects that can improve
  • The same task can belong to multiple lists GTG as or Tasko
  • can not delete the default list that comes
  • Tasks that do not belong to the default list can not sync with Google Calendar
