How to make a task list in gmail

Gmail allows you to create a task list using labels and filters. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to create a task list in Gmail:

Method 1: Using Labels

1. Log in to your Gmail account.
2. Click on the gear icon () in the upper right corner and select "See all settings."
3. Go to the "Filters and Blocked Addresses" tab.
4. Click on "Create a new filter."
5. In the "From" field, enter a keyword or phrase that you want to use as a label for your tasks (e.g., "Task:").
6. Click on "Create filter."
7. In the "Apply the label" dropdown menu, select "New label."
8. Enter a name for your label (e.g., "To-Do").
9. Click on "Create."

Now, whenever you receive an email that contains the keyword or phrase you entered in step 5, it will be labeled with the label you created in step 8. You can then use this label to create a task list.
