Add Remember The Milk to your Google Calendar sidebar

Sidebar Gadget

It’s no secret that we’re big gadget fans here. Waaay back in 2006, we launched a feature that enabled you to add a daily gadget to Google Calendar: clicking on a checkmark icon would bring up your tasks for that day.

The problem with that daily gadget is that it requires clicking to see your tasks (and everybody knows that the more work required to get to your tasks, the less likely it is that they’ll get done!).

Today we’re launching a new gadget for the Google Calendar sidebar that can be added to any Google Calendar account. The gadget displays to the right of your calendar, so no more clicks needed to see your tasks!

As with the gadget for Gmail (upon which this gadget is based :), the gadget allows you to review your upcoming tasks for the week (including any overdue), add new tasks and edit existing ones, easily complete and postpone tasks, and customise the display (show tasks from a particular list or Smart List, and optionally show tasks with no due date).

Add with Sidebar Gadget

The gadget also supports Smart Add, so you can add tasks quickly with properties, e.g., “Pick up the milk tomorrow”, “Order stationery #work”, “Return books in 2 weeks @Library”, and more.

Ready to add the gadget?

Just click on the button below to add the new Sidebar Gadget to Google Calendar. For more details, including instructions for adding to a Google Apps account, please check out the Sidebar Gadget page.
