hello everyone and welcome back to the
be productive youtube channel on today's
feature we're putting Google Tasks vs.
Microsoft to do now I know a lot of
people will be putting them to comments
already probably even before I even
saying this to do definitely blows
Google Tasks out of the water but let's
put these side to side give you a bit of
an outline on what the experiences offer
and then we'll dive into which one is
more suitable for you so guys let's dive
into today's video so as you can imagine
on the left hand side we have Microsoft
to do and on the right hand side we have
Google Tasks but let's first look at the
availability now both of these
applications are free although you need
a Microsoft account required for to do
now Microsoft to do does have some work
capabilities you do get it free with a
Microsoft account but you can also get
it through your office 365 which is for
the personal account five dollars ninety
nine per month you also need a Google
account for your Google Tasks and at the
moment it is currently only available on
the likes of web as a plugin sort of
plugin I'll explain the moment and also
on iOS and Android Microsoft to do is
available on everything even web and
also Windows but not available on Mac
devices as of yet so if we look at these
few experiences both of them can create
very simple lists in to do it provides
much more of a fine-tuned list abilities
advanced sorting and even the ability
called my day which allows you to have
your own dedicated today section you
also have due dates and also a start
date too as well as a planned section
for viewing your upcoming tasks and also
shareable lists with a priority with
important so when you look at Google
Tasks although it has sub tasks and it
got it a lot faster than Microsoft to do
it doesn't have too much stuff going for
it you can create lists and one of the
killer features aren't say is to Gmail
add-on so for example you can drag Gmail
emails into your Google Tasks account
and this is something a lot of people
like to do and the great thing is if you
have the Gmail app you can link back to
that original email pretty fast too now
I would say as well Google Tasks is
definitely more minimal InDesign and
you're really not going to get too much
customization here in terms of
customization let's look at Microsoft to
do it has tons of themes colors and the
ability to share lists which makes
everything a whole lot better now of
course we knew Microsoft to do blows it
out of water in terms of features but if
people are looking for a more than
minimal experience I think Google Tasks
is a great place and definitely for
those looking for digital minimalism and
a simple place to plan away from all of
the complex features I think do Google
Tasks definitely has a space likes of
marques Brown uses this one as his go-to
to-do list application and that's the
last time I checked but definitely if
you want customization and todoist
like features although it's not fully
caught up yet you definitely best off
going with the likes of Microsoft to do
now just to give you a bit of an idea on
development potential Google keep was a
slow burner at the start but they really
pushed it and as you can imagine Google
Tasks could have that injection of
future progress and as you can imagine
it could be trying to catch up with the
likes on one sort of to do pretty fast
and of course they'll have resources to
put into that very similar to the likes
of Microsoft to do they seem like a
really friendly team there X vanilla
staff and a chat on Twitter like there's
no tomorrow it's amazing to see that
team and as you can imagine they have
the user voice feedback so that it can
chase up any issues and they definitely
become more active in the last six
months so in terms of the future
development of course Google Tasks might
have an injection of focus but as you
can imagine monks have to do is staying
pretty consistent right now if you want
a simple distraction free experience
Google Tasks is your option and if you
like that Gmail ability to be able to
add emails into Gmail you're gonna love
it
but if you want something that's super
customizable has shared abilities has
advanced sorting and also a my day view
I think Microsoft to do is your best bet
so as you can imagine guys this one
definitely went to find stuff to do as
an overall to do this application but as
you can imagine in the days of
simplicity you might like Google Tasks
so guys if you want a full review on
both of these I've done a monk's off to
do review very recently 2019 iOS Edition

experience it hasn't really changed
