Using Google Tasks Outside of Gmail

Since adding Tasks to Gmail Labs last year, millions of users have moved from paper to-do lists to having a task list right in Gmail. Most of us probably spend so much time on Gmail anyways that it is one of the best places to keep a to-do list. However, now Google Tasks has graduated from Labs, and as a result your to-do list can now haunt you on your cell phone, on Google Calendar, and on iGoogle.

Tasks in Google Calendar

The same tasks you have in your Gmail account can be accessed in your Calendar. There isn’t really anything special you have to do to pull up your to-do list. It is easily accessible through a link on the top left side of Calendar:

When you’re tired of being reminded of all the things you have to take care of, you can make the list disappear again by clicking on the same “Tasks” link.

Tasks on your Mobile

Accessing Tasks on your mobile is as easy as surfing to www.gmail.com/tasks from your mobile browser.

Tasks on iGoogle

iGoogle has a special gadget for Tasks. The easiest way to find the gadget, and add Tasks to your iGoogle home page, is through the link on the Tasks page.
