How to Turn Emails into Tasks in Outlook, Gmail, and More

Turning an email into a task is the first step toward reclaiming your focus. In this video, we'll walk through the native ways to create a task directly from your Inbox in both Gmail and Outlook. In Gmail, this utilizes the built-in Google Tasks app. In Outlook, your tasks end up in Microsoft To Dos.

These solutions help an individual declutter their Inbox. But for teams or high-volume projects, there are a number of drawbacks:
• No collaboration in Google Tasks or Microsoft To Dos: Can't assign tasks to others
• Google Tasks and Microsoft To Dos create silos
• Inadequate for large or long-term projects
