| Re: Why can't we set reminders for tasks? | SN | 10/4/09 6:09 PM | Well, tasks is itself the reminder, as a grocery list, a place to consistently look, and see if things are completed or not, and cross off/and or eventually delete completed. Personally, I use Gmail calender, to email me, or just look at calender to |
| Re: Why can't we set reminders for tasks? | LLeeG | 10/30/09 2:57 PM | I agree, it's useless if you can't set reminders.

| Re: Why can't we set reminders for tasks? | Klaus Weidner | 1/25/10 1:36 PM | I think the goal is to set a reminder for the future, but *not* have it visible until that future date is reached, so that the task list only shows those tasks that you're actively able to work on. Ideally, a task should have two independent dates - |
| Re: Why can't we set reminders for tasks? | eydryan | 4/21/10 11:46 PM | You should use a system to organize your tasks. I for example use tasks for to-do style things, such as ideas and various small unimportant matters. For important tasks, with deadlines and so on, I just set them on my phone's calendar as either meet |

| Re: Why can't we set reminders for tasks? | Ric Hansen | 4/23/10 3:49 PM | Google shouldn't add new features unless it also makes a commitment to improve on them and add critical features. The task list feature is a nice idea, but should have reminder feature as noted, plus a search feature to find certain tasks with a key |
| Re: Why can't we set reminders for tasks? | Joey Daly | 5/2/10 11:32 PM | The tasks in Gmail currently is shitting me. I agree with most the posts above, but currently this is not a 'Task List' it's just a stupid list with fields that do nothing!!!

| Re: Why can't we set reminders for tasks? | DonnaMaurillo | 9/25/10 11:32 PM | I have to agree about the frustration with Google Tasks. They are completely useless. If I want just a to-do list, I can keep it on a post-it note on my monitor. I really miss Outlook Tasks... a simple and very effective way to track my progress on a |
