Hey friends! Think of this video as your complete Google Tasks tutorial. Do you use Google Tasks? What are your favorite features? Let everyone know in the comments below.
I need to know how to print the task list - all of the videos out there are outdated - can't figure out how to do it on the latest update. This would be helpful. Thanks,
Tasia....could you please do me a huge favor and look at my question from yesterday? I'm a daily user of Tasks....and this would make it a lot easier for me.
Thanks so much. This prompted me to start using Tasks and get rid of a half dozen pieces of paper with task lists on them. Now my tasks are organized. You do a fantastic job of teaching!👍👍👍👍
Ditto! I've just had my Aha! moment to. I put off learning this for so long when it could've really helped my productivity. Thanks Tasia, that was a wonderfully succinct & still relevant presentation.
The feature I like the most is the fact that it integrates with google calendar and I can view the time-specific tasks on calendar. I also like the fact that I can drag tasks unto a calendar slot to set a time for the task on desktop. 2 things I don't like and would love to see added: I wish I can see tasks due today in a separate smart 'today' list, even if the tasks belong to different lists. I know this shows in calendar at the top as all day tasks. But on calendar, I'm not able to sort them in the order I would like to execute. Second, I would love task to have the same colour coding capability that calendar has. When my tasks show on calendar, I want to be able to colour code the lists they belong to.
Good presentation. Google Tasks has a glaring omission, the ability to search for a task(s). This searching omission affects the PC and our Android Mobile app; Tasks cannot be searched. The ability to search within Task is particularly important, especially as one uses Tasks to become more organized and work on more projects.
@@JamesMcNeillmcneilmortgages It is James. But @ricdonato4328 is right there is no search functionality in google task. Well, I thought the same but I found the task search in my web and desktop client but not in Android app. So yes, it can be a deal breaker to use the google tasks as our primary task manager. Because if there is no search functionality in task you cant find your selected task and can create lots of duplicate tasks by mistake. This is a big omission by google.
Agreed. That's a terrible omission. Maddeningly, they do the same thing on UA-cam (for instance, no way to search playlists) and other Google services as well.
@@paulkohler6816 absolutely correct. There is no search function to search for playlist. I don't know how it happened, but it surely is not the capability issue its an omission. Thanks for pointing it out.
Thanks, this was very helpful. I was just forced to Google Tasks from Google Reminders and I preferred the simplicity and function of Reminders. I'm not sure why Google felt that they had to turn off Reminders.
You convinced me to stay with Google task. I am always confused about which time management tool to use but it's in front of me everyday. With Google calendar and tasks I really have all that I need. Thank you for your video. I'll be watching more for more tips.
Many thanks for this concise/helpful video, Tasia! I just got a new job at a private school... my predecessor had used Outlook for task management... but my work platform is Google Workspace and you helped me see the benefits to decide to just use Google tasks - I don't need any system more complex! Best tip was dragging email to task list : )
Hi Tasia, Google Tasks has been around for a long time. I just took the time today to take a closer look at it and only got to know its full potential through your video. Thanks. This is a really handy tool
Great video, thanks for sharing. I'm planning to give Tasks a try this week. I currently use a paper planner system, but everything else in my in the Google ecosystem. I'm excited to try!
For whatever reason I've only been using tasks within Gmail and calendar and somehow never thought to see if there was an app. Funny how we don't consider the simplest of things when trying to stay organized and productive. Anyway, glad I came across your video....thanks!
Thanks for the video, Tasia. I'm using both Tasks and Reminders but am trying to decide which one I prefer! 🙂 Reminders are quick and easy (especially with Assistant), but Tasks are more flexible (especially with Gmail). Best of the best would be the possibility to create Tasks also with Assistant! ;-)
Excellent video! Is there a way to share tasks or a list, essentially creating a common task list with another account. My wife would love this feature.
Great tutorial Tasia, may i ask if there is a way of copying a whole list of project tasks for when a new project begins, without having to type them all back in again?
I rather reminders because you can change the repetition of the reminder. E.g. if you repeat a reminder weekly and you change it, it will change all the reminders but task, the repeated reminders will stay
Hi Tasia! Thank you for all the solid information and tips regards to Google Calendar. I want to start utilizing Google Tasks, but I do not have a Right Toolbar showing on my Google Calendar. How can I add the Right Toolbar that would include Google Tasks/Google Keep, etc?
Tasia, as you know there is the ability to add several task lists. Home, Work, Car etc. However I can't seem to find a view that shows all of the tasks on all of the lists in one view. Also the default view seems to be the list at the top. I have found that if I place items in a list below the main list then I forget about them as they are not on the first screen and I would have to remember that I have other lists. I guess ADD...Wishing I could see ALL of my tasks at one time.
Great tutorial, thanks! But a I miss the reminder-feature so you can receive an reminder before a specific deadline. Therefor I stick to Microsoft To Do.
Thanks, I learned some things. I am still looking to find a way to take my Tasks and import them to my Calendar on another Google account. Do you know if that is even possible. Thank you.
If I share a Google calendar with my spouse, will tasks I've added via my account also show up on his calendar? Is there a way to assign tasks you've created to other people?
Thank you so much. Is there anything similar to Notion to consolidate everything, notes taking, task, calendar and record keeping and be more productive and motivated?
I use Google tasks all the time. The simplicity is fine for me. I use the apps since I'm almost always on my iPad. I have multiple task lists, one for each day of the week for specific things I need to do on that day and I have the days of the week out of order and I see no way to manually recorder the tasks lists, not the tasks themselves.
Great and very helpful tutorial. Thinking to start using Tasks. As my feedback - music was really too loud, interfering with the voice and distracting attention. I would rather watch / listen to this tutorial without music. Best!
Hi Tasia, great video and I learned a lot about Google Tasks. The thing I am trying to figure out is, I have a b&b and have a "task list" for each room. This list I thick off while I am cleaning.. so all tasks will be gone by the time the room is clean/ready.. next time I need the same list.. but this will not be daily. It will be a repeat when guests check out and I do a full clean.. how would I be able to do that?? Any thoughts?
A task app for a family isn't much use without being accessible by both parents. Maybe even the older kids. Is there any facility for sharing task lists within a family e.g. can my wife and I share task lists?
I have a question? is it possible to share a google task list with someone from google tasks? so that I can share it with someone who only sees the information and cannot change anything?
I *much* prefer Reminders, my use case is tasks that can roll daily and I finish them whenever I have time. I manage this all only through GCal. Raise date is not important, nor a specific deadline. Pain points for tasks: - Clutters my view as tasks appear on the day I add them and not one list on the current day like Reminders - Completing a task closes it on the day I raised it, not the day I completed it like Reminders - Tasks over 30 days overdue essentially disappear, and you have to hunt back for the day you raised them Any way to fix these?
I couldn't find out HOW TO RECOVER DELETED TASKS on Google Tasks! I typed something wrong and, accidentally, deleted some tasks. I know that for some seconds there is a button to undo the action. But if you don't click that undo button, how to recover the deleted tasks? That's my question. Also there's not a Completed Tasks list at the bottom. Is there another way to see the completed tasks? Thanks!
How do I make tasks repeat only for a specific period? For example, I want to read a specific book and finish it for 15 days. I want the task to stop reminding me after 15 days. Is there a possibility to do this?؟
I use Google Tasks all the time but find it frustrating that you cannot colour code each individual task list. I would like to colour code it per client; currently all tasks are in the same colour.
I haven't found a tutorial that even mentions repeated tasks. When I complete a repeated task it doesn't show up the next week or month. What am I doing wrong?
I like that my Google appointments remain clear when a task is in place - BUT, for my co-workers and myself in planning meetings, I need my tasks to be able to show the duration of the task on the day I'll be doing it. Does anyone know if this functionality has been added, and if so, how to do that?

Tasia....could you please do me a huge favor and look at my question from yesterday? I'm a daily user of Tasks....and this would make it a lot easier for me.
I have two question
1. Can the particular task list can be shared with anyone to view /Add/Delete??
2. How to print or export the task list creates
Is there any way I can add different coloured Tasks in Google Calendar...??
My mobile task app is dropping my agendas. how due I recover all that info?
Thanks so much. This prompted me to start using Tasks and get rid of a half dozen pieces of paper with task lists on them. Now my tasks are organized. You do a fantastic job of teaching!👍👍👍👍

Hope they can add an Auto "ALL List" combining all the lists made. Btw, you make great easy to digest videos- Thank you 😊
yeah this is a really missing feature !
you are my No1 tech teacher, short, sharp tutorials. Learnt so much from you......
Thanks, this was very helpful. I was just forced to Google Tasks from Google Reminders and I preferred the simplicity and function of Reminders. I'm not sure why Google felt that they had to turn off Reminders.
Google Tasks will send reminders/notifications if you give it a time as well as a date.
I started using Google Tasks about a month ago. I love the app and it’s simplicity. Works well as my reminders app.
Thank you! This is great, and you are a great and clear teacher!

I agree with some of the suggestions by others: have a way to show all tasks together, and have a way to print your separate lists. thanks
Awesome tutorial Tasia. Thanks. I like the simplicity and integration with the other Google tools.
Hi Tasia,
Google Tasks has been around for a long time.
I just took the time today to take a closer look at it and only got to know its full potential through your video.

Hey Tasia, thank you for the great video. Pro tip: to add an open email to a new task, the keyboard shortcut is - shift t.
Glad you liked the vid! I’m saving some tips for the follow up video 😀
Great video, thanks for sharing. I'm planning to give Tasks a try this week. I currently use a paper planner system, but everything else in my in the Google ecosystem. I'm excited to try!

Seems easy and simple! I’m going to try it!
Google Tasks looks pretty good Tasia, thanks for sharing. 👍🏻
Of course, Ron!
This was really great. Thank you so much for your help!
Thanks for the video, Tasia. I'm using both Tasks and Reminders but am trying to decide which one I prefer! 🙂
Reminders are quick and easy (especially with Assistant), but Tasks are more flexible (especially with Gmail).
Best of the best would be the possibility to create Tasks also with Assistant! ;-)
Yes, we need to tell Google to get on that asap!
Great tutorial. Clear and simple directions. New subscriber.
Even with some of the upgrades that Reminders has had, the integration that Tasks have with the Calendar and Gmail makes it very appealing
Great thank you so much for this really helpful video!
This is amazing.helps a lot. thanks a lot
Nicely done. Well laid out and executed.
Great topic and well done. Thanks ,Tasia!
Really helpful! Thanks!
Life changing
Thanks! So helpful🙂
Excellent video! Is there a way to share tasks or a list, essentially creating a common task list with another account. My wife would love this feature.
Thank you :)
girl what computer or attachment are you using? its amazing!
Great tutorial Tasia, may i ask if there is a way of copying a whole list of project tasks for when a new project begins, without having to type them all back in again?
Thank you.
HELP! Thank you for looking! Is there a shortcut to open Google Tasks from other than Gmail or Calendar? Thank you for your incredibly helpful videos!
HELPFUL!!! Thank you !!!!
Thanks! this was helpful :)
thank you and its very help-full
Great video! Thanks for the help! One question: Can you use Google Tasks with the Trello app?
I rather reminders because you can change the repetition of the reminder. E.g. if you repeat a reminder weekly and you change it, it will change all the reminders but task, the repeated reminders will stay
Nicely done!
Thanks!
Thank you so much, Kathy! Glad you found the video helpful 🙂
Great video. World like to see a video with strategies for how to use lists, etc.
Danke!
Hi Tasia! Thank you for all the solid information and tips regards to Google Calendar. I want to start utilizing Google Tasks, but I do not have a Right Toolbar showing on my Google Calendar.
How can I add the Right Toolbar that would include Google Tasks/Google Keep, etc?
Tasia, as you know there is the ability to add several task lists. Home, Work, Car etc. However I can't seem to find a view that shows all of the tasks on all of the lists in one view.

Great tutorial, thanks! But a I miss the reminder-feature so you can receive an reminder before a specific deadline. Therefor I stick to Microsoft To Do.
Enjoyed the video. Can I sort my list on the mobile app? I can on the laptop, but have not been able to on the mobile app.
Great video as always + you look great.
Thanks, I learned some things. I am still looking to find a way to take my Tasks and import them to my Calendar on another Google account. Do you know if that is even possible. Thank you.

I'm curious if you've tried Microsoft To Do app and could compare them or which you prefer and why? Thank you kindly.
I like the Calendar integration of Tasks but am flummoxed by the fact that with Tasks there is no search function
I use Google tasks all the time. The simplicity is fine for me. I use the apps since I'm almost always on my iPad. I have multiple task lists, one for each day of the week for specific things I need to do on that day and I have the days of the week out of order and I see no way to manually recorder the tasks lists, not the tasks themselves.
Thank you for this much helpful video. But i am unable to have subtask and repeat option together. Is that a glitch?
Can you share your thoughts on using the task list created in a google doc using the task list icon?
Great and very helpful tutorial. Thinking to start using Tasks. As my feedback - music was really too loud, interfering with the voice and distracting attention. I would rather watch / listen to this tutorial without music. Best!
I really like google tasks and it is in the google ecosystem I wish they would add the ability to upload an image to google tasks. 🙏🙏
Helpful..👌

Hi. Great video. Is there still a Google Tasks option with the new Gmail view?
Does this have shared groceries list with family? Thanks
Tasia- is it possible to make the list, when sorted by date, show newest to oldest rather than oldest to newest? Thank you!
Thank for Your work..! :) PS: Can I export and/or print tasks from Google Tasks?
Question for the web application: when opening a new task, how do you make show at the top of the list instead of the default bottom?
Is there anyway to use different colors for each task list
Good job! But how do I convert my current reminders & entries in my Google calendar into `tasks` so that it will show up in my task lists.
Hi, can you show me how to assign a task in Google Tasks where you have to attach a file to complete it?
Is there no way to make the task view larger? Is it really only confined to this small column?
can we add different colors for different tasks?
Reminder was a lot better then task
A task app for a family isn't much use without being accessible by both parents. Maybe even the older kids. Is there any facility for sharing task lists within a family e.g. can my wife and I share task lists?
Hey there! I dont see anything about sharing tasks with other people????Is this a restriction?
I have a question? is it possible to share a google task list with someone from google tasks? so that I can share it with someone who only sees the information and cannot change anything?
How do you see completed tasks in your iPhone?
How can I get Assistant to add Tasks to my task list

Why with some tasks I don't have the option to add a "Subtask"?
I see the option to select time and repeat via my mobile phone, but not via desktop???

How to sync tasks to google sheet or docs
i've made lists and sub tasks... how do I have one global view of all the tasks across al the lists?
Tasks on Google Calendar are not in Sync with Google Tasks app on iOS. Can you please assist with this?
I haven't found a tutorial that even mentions repeated tasks. When I complete a repeated task it doesn't show up the next week or month. What am I doing wrong?

How can you reorder lists?
Good video thanks. can you collaborate on tasks directly?
