Try Asking

Pro Tips

Task lists let you separate contexts — one for work, one for personal, one per project

Due dates appear on Google Calendar as all-day task events

Subtasks create a two-level hierarchy — great for project breakdowns

Completed tasks remain in the list until explicitly cleared — useful for tracking what you've done

Combine with Gmail: read an email, extract action items, and create tasks automatically

Combine with Calendar: create a task with a due date and it surfaces on that day's calendar view
