Start grading your tasks to make your to-do list easier to sort through.

Google Tasks, integrated into Gmail, provides a simple way to create ordered task lists, complete with due dates, and even turn emails into action items.

Google Tasks is not, to be clear, a full-featured To Do app. Tasks is about as stripped down as it gets, in both form and function. In some ways that's a relief; you won't be tempted to dither.
