You've got goals and missions and tasks for each role, of course. Great in number and diversity, all these to-do items are better off not jumbled together on a single task list. In Gmail, thankfully, you can create multiple lists for multiple roles, projects, contexts, locations, months — or whatever divisions you fancy.
Organize Your Tasks in Separate Lists with Gmail
To create a new list in Gmail Tasks:
- Make sure Gmail Tasks is open.
- Click the Switch list button (in Gmail Task's bottom right corner).
- Select New list....
- Type the name you desire for the new list.
- Click OK.
To switch between lists in Gmail Tasks:
- Click the Switch list button.
- Now click the desired list.
You can also move existing tasks between lists.
To delete a list in Gmail Tasks:
- Open the list you want to delete in Gmail Tasks.
- Click the Switch list button.
- Select Delete list from the menu.
- Click OK.
Note that deleting a list will also delete all the tasks it contains.
