Do you struggle to keep up with your
never-ending to-do list? Task management is a feature offered by many popular email services to
help you with the scheduling of tasks. Schedule everything you need to keep track of; from
fitness classes to important business meetings. Tasks scheduling works differently than a
calendar - tasks function more like a to-do list. Just like a classic to-do list, there’s
nothing more satisfying than checking off each task you’ve completed. Popular email providers
like Gmail and Outlook offer task management options that will help you get organized.
Task App Google
Google incorporates tasks throughout their website with several quick options for accessing
tasks. Google tasks is great for anyone who would like to incorporate tasks into their work
routine. You can access the scheduling of tasks through your web browser or you could download
the
G tasks app.
Users can access tasks for Google in Google Docs, Sheets, Gmail, Calendar, Chat, Drive,
Slides
on the web browser. To find your tasks, do the following:
-
Log into your Google account.
-
Open a new Google Sheet, Doc, or Slides.
If you’re using Gmail, Calendar, or Chat; you don’t need to open anything.
-
On the right side of your screen, you’ll see the tasks icon. If you don’t see it, you
need to go to the bottom right corner of your screen. There’s an arrow that will open the
right sidebar.
-
Click on tasks. Add tasks to get started!
-
Organize your Google tasks by adding dates and organizing them into personalized lists.
After you’ve completed a task, you can check it and it will disappear. This prevents the task
list from getting clogged with completed work - so you can focus on what really needs to get
done.
Tasks for Outlook
Microsoft Outlook’s task app works differently than Gmail. Tasks for Outlook is located in its
own application that is accessible from the left side panel. After you select tasks for Outlook,
it will redirect you to a new page.
Microsoft Outlook gives you the option to add attachments, set reminders, categorize, and add
notes. Any tasks that have been assigned to you will also appear in the left sidebar. However,
unlike tasks on Gmail, you must go to the tasks page in order to access your tasks.
