How to Add a Task From Calendar on a Computer
When working on your desktop, it’s easy to access Google Tasks from Google Calendar. Create task lists and add new tasks as needed.
Work With Your To-Do List
Managing Google Tasks is straightforward. Choose a date in the task’s properties to add it to your Google Calendar. To reorder the tasks in the list, drag them up or down. When a task is complete, put a check in the circle to the left of it to mark it completed. To edit a Google Task, select Edit details (the pencil icon). Here you can add a description, date and time, subtasks, or move the task to a different list.
Make Multiple Task Lists
To keep track of different tasks or ones within separate projects, create multiple task lists in Google Calendar to organize them. Select the arrow next to the list name at the top of the Tasks window, then choose Create new list. Switch between your different Google Tasks lists from this menu.
Move Tasks to Another List
If you change your mind about where a task belongs, move it from one list to another. To move a task into another list, highlight it and press Shift+Enter, or click the pencil icon next to its name. Select the list name and choose the new list you want to move it to from the drop-down menu.
Add Google Tasks From Your Android or iOS Device
Completing tasks while on the go is critical. Google created an app for Google Tasks, so the tool is accessible on iOS and Android devices. It syncs with existing to-do lists automatically if you’re signed in to a Google account. Adding tasks on a mobile device works similarly to adding tasks through Google Calendar. Tap the plus-sign button to create a task. Tap the task to add subtasks or add a due date or description. Arrange the tasks by tapping and dragging. Download for:
