I admit it, I love to make list. Yes, I am also guilty of adding items to a list just so that I can mark them off and feel productive. Google has stepped it up and made this list maker happy. Google recently add Gmail task list to their calendars. When you open up the calendar  you will see ” tasks” on the left side. Once you click on it you will see the same task format you see in Gmail with some cool extra stuff.  You can now add a task due date that will appear on your calendar. You can sort the task by date so you can see what is coming up.  You can easily drag a task to another date just like you do any event on the calendar. The all important to a list maker option: you can mark a task complete when you are finished.  I still would like to be able to see a reminder option for the task like the events have. Even us list makers some time need to be reminded. I have not tried to see if the task will sync with my blackberry, but I assume it will just as the calendar does.   Check out the Google blog for more details .
