It's difficult to know where to start when you have so many to-dos. Having a simple way to organize and keep track of tasks helps you get closer to checking them off your list.

Whether you are in the middle of working on your laptop, making a to-do list on your phone, or just need a way to capture thoughts while on the go, the ideal solution is here. We want our products to work better together no matter where you work.

Millions of people use the internet to stay on top of their daily tasks. We are going to simplify our task management solutions by moving Assistant and Calendar Reminders to the internet. You will now have an easy way to view and manage all your to-dos in one place, regardless of whether you use Assistant or Calendar.

Users can get things done with a simple and productive solution. You can keep your lists and tasks wherever you are with it. You can access tasks from your favorite apps in the workspace.

There are a few ways you can do more with tasks.

  • Use the “Add to tasks” button in Gmail so important action items don’t get lost in your inbox
  • Create tasks directly from Google Chat to turn a thought into a clear action
  • Create a task in Google Calendar so you can pick the perfect time to get it done
  • Sort the tasks you create into lists and star the ones that are most important to you

If you capture and organize your tasks, you can mark them as complete to show what you have accomplished.

New and better ways to capture your to-dos using the hands-free power of Assistant can be found with the addition of Assistant Reminders capabilities. If you say "Hey Google, remind me to call dad every Thursday at 6pm" to your mobile or smart display, it will show up in your Tasks list, as well as on the calendar. You will get a notification when it's time to complete the task if you specify a date or time.

You will see a notification on your phone or computer in the coming months that will prompt you to try the new Tasks experience when you use Assistant or Calendar. If you open the notification, you will be able to manage all your to-dos in a single place. Ahead of any changes, we'll give you more information on the workspace updates blog.

In order to help you organize and accomplish all you have to do, we are investing in and expanding the capabilities of Google Tasks. One step closer to helping people easily get things done, and we are so excited to bring it to you.
