You could also use it for a priority tasks list, or to keep your Projects workspace handy at a glance. If you do use multiple workspaces in your productivity setup, I recommend using only your most important workspace in Google Tasks sync. *grins* Thankfully, they all show up under one label and so were easy to delete. If you use several workspaces concurrently, like I do in my Producteeev GTD setup, and you, say, I don’t know… connect them all… at once - well, let’s just say you will end up with an ever-growing and duplicating list of tasks as the workspaces sync them, and then re-sync them, one after the other, after the other, after the other. It is, at this point, only designed to handle a connection from one Producteev workspace. I advise you to be careful when using Google Tasks sync, however. Yayy efficiency!Ĭheck out the quick screencast on the integration, below: It also works the other way, bringing your workspace’s tasks into Google where you can quickly check on them and interact with them without leaving your email. It allows you to create tasks in Google and have them sync to your Producteev workspace where they will have their own label (the list’s name) automatically assigned. It’s a pretty cool integration, actually. Producteev was right there with them, and has created a two-way revolving door with the in-Gmail task manager. Apparently, I was gravely mistaken, as Google is invested enough in Tasks that they went through the trouble of launching a Tasks API at Google I/O this month. I was honestly under the impression that people cared about Google Tasks about as much as they do about Buzz, Wave and Sidewiki. Here’s a link to the Producteev Outlook plugin screencast. The plugin only allows you to sync with one workspace at a time, but you can choose for the sync to be two-way, Outlook to Producteev, or Producteev to Outlook only, and you can change workspaces right from Outlook, as well. With the plugin, you can add emails to tasks in Producteev with a single click of the flag button, and with the integrated Producteev tab, you can assign it to others, add priority stars, etc. Producteev makes Outlook tasks portable by allowing you to take them to the cloud by way of a tightly integrated Outlook plugin. Outlook is powerful software, but it lacks mobility, which is a tough thing when you use it as your main task manager in this day and age. As a Gmail user, I have access to a nifty widget, and Google Apps users get even tighter integration.Įnough about me and my Google services, though! We’re here to talk about you - and did you know that Producteev has just launched an Outlook plugin that let’s you single-click emails directly to tasks? And that’s not all… they’ve also announced a two-way sync with Google Tasks, and have some native apps on the way! You like? Read on for details! The pretty helped too - pretty is a necessity for me when looking at a task list - but it was the Google Calendar integration, and the ability to interact with and create tasks from email, IM, and more that clinched it for me. Producteev won me over a while back with the smooth way they integrate into your already established workflow.
