Rebecca, I can hardly express how much I THANK YOU for blogging about these 3 tools. Cause otherwise I wouldn't have read MikeyB's comment #3 pointing me to GQueues. From all tools GTD/todoist-style GQueues is the best one!

Once more thanks, Rebecca!

If you happen to need expert advice on Linux, Drupal and GTD - write me an email.

PS. I initially got here on my way of searching for a project-specific bookmarklet for Todoist ("todoist bookmarklet") (the 2nd greatest app after GQueues) ... Such are the ways of the internet...

I'm now giving GQueues a try, and I have to agree that all of the color is a bit much. But I can match list colors up with their respective calendar color in GCal (even if they all show up in GQueues' color on GCal), so I'm telling myself I can live with this for now.

Once I'm more familiar with GQueues, I'm planning to do a follow-up post.

I've had similar issues which led me to your blog.. although mine is integrating GMail with Tasks, not Calendar. I chose Todoist for the time being because it has a Bookmarklet to add the GMail email into tasks easily with a link back, and RTMs Create Task frmo Email seems to be broken, and has been for weeks. I also prefer Todoits simple layout compared to RTM... RTM seems a bit more overloaded. But you can email RTM a task, but not Todoist, and RTM seems better for iPhone management.

Either way, I think I will stick with Todoist until the RTM create task from email thing is fixed (I think its a Googl/Greasemonkey issue).

I found this post because I wanted to find out if Todoist can integrate with Google Calendar and create tasks from appointments without me having to go to my calendar. That would be a great selling point. This is because I have someone else manage a shared calendar, but I dont check the calendar often, only Tasks!

P.S. I fing GQueues is treating me like a 5 year old with its colour and layout. I find Google apps very good, but just always that little too basic for me.

Take a look at Gqueues www.gqueues.com I feeds into a Google calendar and is much more flexible than Google tasks.

The problem is, I don't want one more thing I have to click to work with my to-do list, which is why the sidebar was a much better solution for me. I also am not a fan of things covering what I'm trying to work on.

Apps that can be added as widgets are a second-best solution for me because I can mark things off when I go to record things on my calendar. It's more streamlining for me.

To use Todoist in Firefox you just need the bookmarklet:
