Intro

Notion and Google Tasks are powerful on their own - but their limitations become obvious when you use them daily.

Notion shines in customization: group tasks by project, switch between Kanban, calendar, or Gantt views - the sky's the limit.

But it has its drawbacks:

Quick ‘on-the-fly’ task creation on mobile? Not great.
Google Calendar sync? Missing.
Recurring tasks? A nightmare.

Google Tasks, on the other hand, is fast, simple, and mobile-friendly. Tasks appear on your calendar and take just seconds to create or check off.

But:

No real customization.
Terrible for managing a large task list.

Combine the two - and you get the best of both worlds: powerful structure from Notion, effortless speed from Google Tasks. No compromises.

Preparation

First, we need to make sure we have the necessary fields in Notion. If the fields are missing, you'll need to create or rename them.

The required fields in Notion

Field Name	Field Type
Name	Text (default task title)
Due	Date
Is Completed	Checkbox
Google Task ID	Text
Hash	Text
Next Due	Date

<aside> 💡

Yes, I use the ‘Is Completed’ checkbox instead of the standard Notion statuses - it keeps things simple and works well for personal task tracking.
