Google Tasks is the perfect app for organizing your life — and it doesn't cost a cent (GOOG, GOOGL)

Google recently made its first significant refresh to Gmail in years and added a new standalone app to its lineup: Google Tasks. 

Before now, Tasks worked as a to-do list built into Gmail. And while Tasks still works with Gmail — and Google Calendar, too — it now has its own app for those who just want to easily organize their lives. 

Now, I'm a big believer in to-do lists and have dabbled with productivity apps in the past. While those apps work great for me at first, I've never found the perfect one. 

So I was curious to see if I would like Google Tasks, especially since I'm about to move into a new apartment and have a lot of organizing to do.

The verdict: if you use a lot of Google products, Tasks is the best to-do app for you.

Google Tasks looks a lot like other Google apps, so if you frequently use Calendar, Gmail, or Drive, it will be super-simple to use.

Google Tasks lets you add items to a general list, or create separate lists for specific topics. For me, it was helpful to be able to organize items that were related to my upcoming move into one standalone list.

When you start adding tasks, your list will look like this. Google Tasks has a clean, minimalist layout that's perfect for Type-A people like me.
