You can also use the Tasks app directly to add a task. One benefit you get with the Tasks app is the ability to create one or more subtasks, which are tasks performed within another task. For example, a task titled Organize Trip to Vanuatu might include subtasks such as Purchase Plane Tickets, Book Hotel Room, and Find Out Where Vanuatu Is.

Here are the steps to follow to create a new task using the Tasks app:

1 In Calendar's side panel, click Tasks.Calendar opens the Tasks pane, which looks uncannily similar to the one shown in Figure 3-16. As I mention in Chapter 2, in the section about taming the email beast, Gmail's side panel also has a Tasks icon, so you can also follow these same steps to create a task when you're working in Gmail.FIGURE 3-16: Clicking the Tasks icon opens the Tasks pane.

2 Click Add a Task.Tasks creates a new task with a text box ready for editing.

3 Enter a title for the task.

4 If you don't need to specify anything else about the task (such as the time you want to start the task), press Enter or Return and skip the rest of these steps.

5 Click Edit Details (the Pencil icon that appears on the right side of the task).Tasks displays the details for the task.

6 Use the Add Description text box to enter a summary of what the task is about.

7 To add a date and/or time for the task, click Add Date/Time, click a date, enter a time, and then click OK.

8 To create a subtask, click Add Subtasks and then type the subtask title.

9 Repeat Step 8 for each subtask you want to add.Figure 3-17 shows a task with a few subtasks added.

10 Click Back (the left-pointing arrow in the top-left corner of the task details pane).Tasks displays the task and its subtasks in the Tasks pane.
