Task Management in G Suite

Article #: 31


Did you know that you can manage your daily tasks better than ever before in G Suite?   With some new features that just rolled out this week you can now:

Set a date and time for your tasks AND receive notifications
Create REPEATING tasks (like monthly reviews?)
Import reminders into Tasks
Question #1 –  Where is “Tasks”?
In G Suite you will see these three (or four?) icons  up in the lop right corner.   This one is the “Task” application.


Question #2 — how do I use it?
Clicking on that icon will open this window


From there you can immediately start adding tasks — OR you can create individual task lists like this in order to keep things separated by clicking on the “Tasks” drop down at the top right, and selecting “Create a new list”


Then you can click 


and begin entering your task information into the blank cell


Once you have created a “New Task” you can set reminders, due dates etc
Click on the “edit” icon


Inside here you can, change tasklist assignment, add a time/date, make it REPEAT, and add SUB-TASKS.
To add a due date/ time click on “Add date/time”


Then, select a date and enter the time. (If it repeats you can make it repeatable here)


If you have “sub-tasks” you can add those steps in here as well.


There are several other features available in tasks and I’m sure MANY MANY uses.  Check it out on your own and find interesting ways you can utilize this new tool to better help you manage your day.

Oh btw — you can see them on your calendar simply by selecting “Tasks” under “My Calendars” on the right side of your Google calendar —


Here’s more about the new features.
