Google Apps: How to Create Tasks in Gmail

December 21, 2010

In your job, your average daily tasks are no doubt many. And you are simply not likely to remember all that needs to be done in a day. The Gmail Tasks feature, which is like a to-do list manager, helps you keep track of the tasks that you need to accomplish. You can set reminders, create lists, add notes and messages to help you view and manage them effectively. In this Google Apps tutorial, you will learn how to create tasks in Gmail.

How to Create Tasks in Gmail

1. Login to your Gmail account.

2. On the Gmail window, at the top-left, click Tasks.

3. If required, edit or update the task details.

How to Create a Sub Task

You can also move a task or make a task the sub-task of another task if there are multiple tasks connected to a main task. Sub-tasks also let you link a single task to multiple messages.

Maintaining a list of tasks is simple and easy in Gmail. Once you have completed the tasks you can mark them as complete (click the right-corner of the task item) and clear them. If you still have trouble checking for your daily tasks then try NudgeMail  a cool online reminder service that allows you to send yourself reminders.
