Gmail Todo List

I�ve been keeping another secret from you guys. I have a genius way to keep track of my �todo� list.

GMail is so powerful I don�t know if people really realize it. Thus, my mini-guide to making your own todo list in GMail.

(Hmm, before posting this I realized someone else has done this same thing, but hey, I still thought of it and it�s still worth sharing).

Create a new �todo� filter for your todo email address
Simply click �Create a filter� to the right of the search bar in GMail.

The only field you need to define is the �To:� field which should be your email address with a +todo appended to the left side of the email address.

In other words, yourname+todo@gmail.com or even todo@yourdomain.com (if you�re using Google for Domains). Click �Next Step�

Create a �todo� label to tag all your todo items
This is simple, click the �Apply the label�� check box and create a new label called �Todo�.

You can also choose to do something like set the filter to �Skip the inbox� in order to do some clever categorization.

For example, all new todos will go straight into the archive as �unread�, thus you�ll have number next to the Todo label.

You could use this to let you know how many total todo items you have.

You could also use unread items to mean todos that haven�t been started. Or, they could represent the high priority todos you have.

Anyway, those are just some ideas..
