How To Set Up a Cross-Platform To-Do List with Google Tasks

Posted 02/09/2011 at 10:05am | by Joe Rybicki

Let's face it: We all have different needs when it comes to to-do lists. Some of us can get by with simply editing a text file; others need priorities and action-items and project labels.

But chances are good you're somewhere in the middle. And that means chances are good that Google's oft-overlooked Tasks web app can satisfy your needs. It supports basic hierarchical structure, allowing you to create sub-tasks for larger projects. It supports due dates for tasks, and provides a field to enter notes for each task. And it supports drag-and-drop reordering, which may not be as elegant as a priority system, but can serve the same purpose with limited fuss.

Trouble is, most of us need to be able to access a to-do list without having to load up a web page. Luckily, with some free tools (and a Google account, natch), you can do just that -- and embed Tasks as an always-accessible drop-down window on your menu bar.

If you lean towards App Store-based solutions and have been looking for a new way to keep your universe running smoothly, you could do far worse than giving Awesome Note a whirl.

Judging by our desk, you’d never guess that we try to be highly organized. And we’ve tried everything, from David Allen’s nerd-famous Getting Things Done (GTD) dogma, to complex Mac apps, endless paper notebooks, and iCal’s built in to-do features. We have yet to find the perfect system for managing not only our work tasks, but also all the other stuff we have to do in the course of our daily life. But Remember The Milk, a Web service also accessible via iPhone, is helping us become more organized than ever.
