Do you make lists to stay organized? Do you feel accomplished when you “check off” items on your to-do list? Studies show that having a to-do list can lessen anxiety, give you structure, and provides proof of your achievements. Whether you are a Google user or not, Google has a way to help you keep your to-do list orderly with Google Tasks. You can use it alongside your Gmail and Calendar (it is built-in on both locations) or you can get the stand-alone app. Here are 5 reasons you should consider using Google Tasks for your to-do list:

Productivity increases when you write down what you need to do.

Having a daily to-do list is a great way to keep yourself organized and on track. You can even go a step further and have a weekly and/or monthly to-do list.

Google Tasks can be used with your Google Calendar in a side-by-side fashion.

This makes it easy to see when you have the time on your schedule to complete all your tasks. Then you can add that task to your Calendar.

Google Tasks can also be used with your Gmail account in the same side-by-side fashion as your Calendar.

If you have a task that you need to complete in your Gmail, you simply click and drag it to the Tasks and it will add it to your list. (Note that the email will still remain in your Gmail. This just allows you to add to your Task list quickly from your Gmail account.)

It is simple to use.

All you do is add your Tasks and Sub-Tasks. Then as you complete each task, you check the box and it disappears. You can watch your to-do list get
smaller and smaller. Talk about a sense of accomplishment! You can even have several different to-do lists. As well as re-organize your to-do list(s) by dragging and dropping tasks to put in a different order.

It automatically syncs with your phone app and the desktop version.

Your to-do list is always with you to add or check tasks as completed.
