Google Tasks

Google Tasks is an online service that manages to-do lists, and is accessed through your Google account. You can make lists of items or tasks you need to do and cross them out when they are done. You can create multiple lists, so you can have a list for the grocery store, one for the hardware store, and a list of tasks that need to be done before you start your remodeling project.

Google Tasks works alongside Google Calendar, so tasks you create for the remodeling project, for example, can have due dates which appear in your Google Calendar.
