How Google Tasks Work in Google Calendar

Google Tasks and Google Calendar work together to help you manage your to-do lists efficiently. By combining these two tools, you can easily see your tasks alongside your calendar events, making it simple to track both deadlines and appointments.

To start, open Google Calendar and find the Google Tasks sidebar on the right. Click on it to add tasks. You can write simple descriptions, set due dates, and even add subtasks. Once you save a task, it will appear on your calendar on the scheduled date, giving you a clear view of your daily tasks.

Google Tasks syncs directly with Google Calendar. This means that any changes you make in one app will show up in the other. Whether you add a task or mark one as complete, the update is reflected across both. This makes it easy to keep track of your progress.

You can also assign due dates to tasks and reorder them by priority. Linking tasks to specific events on your calendar is helpful too. For example, you’ll get reminders for tasks before your meetings, keeping you on track throughout the day. Additionally, you can organize tasks into different lists, like work, personal, or project-related, to keep things neat.

While Google Tasks and Google Calendar are great for personal tasks, they have their limits. They don’t support complex project management features, like task dependencies or detailed tracking. For larger projects, you’ll need more advanced tools. Consider using Kanbanchi, which offers visual task boards, team collaboration, and detailed project management features.
