Google Tasks in the Calendar Side Panel: A Practical Setup Guide
Google Calendar's Tasks side panel unifies tasks and meetings—if you enable it and maintain due dates discipline. On calendar.google.com, click the Tasks icon in the right sidebar. Items with due dates appear on the calendar grid; undated tasks stay in the panel list only.
Workflow Recommendations
- Morning triage: drag three Must Do tasks onto today's open slots.
- Complete tasks from Calendar during the day to keep the grid honest.
- Review overdue panel items every Friday and re-date or delete.
