Grad tip: Check off your to-do's with Tasks
July 17, 2009
In the spirit of graduation season, we're doing a series of posts every Friday throughout the summer that provide tips for graduating seniors, so
stay tuned
for more!
Tasks just graduated from Gmail Labs this week, and it's a useful feature that can help you keep track of the many things you probably need to get done as you're getting your post-college life set up -- from meeting project due dates at your new job to remembering you and your roommates' list of groceries for the week. You can create separate lists for groceries, errands, work, etc., and you can assign dates and add notes to each task. You can even turn a Gmail message into a task.
To get started with your first list, just click "Tasks" under the "Contacts" link above your Gmail chat list. And since Gmail isn't the only place where you need access to your check lists, Tasks is also available on
mobile phones
(so you can get stuff done on the go), in
Google Calendar
, and you can even
add Tasks to iGoogle
.
Watch this video to see Tasks in action:
