How come it doesnt seem like Task integrates with anything. SHouldnt there be away in contacts to make a task to call somebody. Or if you are in calender and you set up a reminder couldnt be saved in task as well.

Looking for a job and need to keep track of alot of comments.

Has anyone found a google calendar already loaded with annual maintenance/spring cleaning type entries? I’d love to copy it.

I’ve been using the google calendar for awhile now and love it. I also use a small pocket planner for small daily stuff that doesn’t repeat and isn’t important enough to go into the GC.

Thanks for the tip about home maintenance and chores. Will set up a separate calendar for that. Great idea. For those of you not using GC, you can have these separate sub-calendars, and show them or not as you wish on your screen so you don’t have to open a cluttered screen.

Great little hack this. I’m just using paper diary this year as I’m a bit of a Luddite.

This is a great tool to keep on top of your to do lists. I use this method whenever I have something that needs to be done at a later time.

In Google Calendar, you can create separate calendars for different topics (i.e., personal, work, home maintenance, etc.). It is then possible to allow designated people to view whatever calendar(s) you want.

This feature works very well for our family members as we coordinate ongoing care for an elderly relative.

I was thrilled the day I learned how to synch up my google calendar and the calendar function on my iPhone. Now my iPhone just reminds me, but google is still the master calendar that my husband and I use.

You can also set Google calendar to text reminders.

I do this almost daily, but with my cell phone calendar. I don’t know what I would do without the helpful reminders each day of what I’m supposed to remember. I never remember to look at a calendar on my own.

Using a calendar and email to keep track of tasks, is like like using a toaster and a blender to make pizza.

Someday Google will unveil a task/todo service that can be taken seriously, with reminders pushed to email, SMS, IM, wrist watch, and/or wherever else you might want them.

It’s a cool trick, but does anyone else have reservations about trusting too much to Google?

actually, Google will email to any email address you use to set up the account, so if you don’t have a gmail address it works just fine emailing you reminders at yahoo, your work email, or whereever!

i don’t use it for day to day stuff, but i ended up having to plan my wedding in less than 12 weeks. once i made my to-do list and plotted out everything in google calendar (to do date and a follow up or due date) it is easy to keep track of each item
