What I want from Google -- Todo list, planner, etc.

[ayaksich]

I want the ability to add an event to an email when writing to another person BUT not have them see the event. I want this to be a checkbox next to the add event button. This would save me a lot of time and wouldn't send event information when really it's meant just for me.

I want to see a todo list in Google. I want a button that I can hit on the toolbar and it saves, in that moment, the time, date, and the page I was looking at. The title of the todo would be whatever text was highlighted or the highlighted stuff would be in the comments and ask for a title. My mouse would hover over the todo title, and I'd see the comments. The todos could slide around in the calender so I could plan easily. Also, any todo that is not completed, can either be anchored so that it will slide over to the next day until completed or there are additional settings to repeat, terminate reminder after X days. I want a Web todo included in that to remind me to look at web pages that have changed -- a connection or reminder from Google Reader. I'd like to see a todo that can work with an address book. (Look at my other posts.)

I want to see Google create a program called Gagent or Gplanner that will take a todo list and then turn it into an itinerary or a Gcalander schedule. I want the ability to mark things as urgent (1-5), important (1-5), or both.

Example -- I import text that looks like this:
Go to library
Visit Cindy Patton
Buy groceries
Call George Oaks
Pay gas bill

Then, maybe google asks me a few questions (not in this order):
"Do you want to place this in your todo list unorganized? y/n"
"Do you want Gplan to help you organize your day? y/n"

A list shows up of everything with a hot-cold colored buttons to select how urgent and important everything is. Google, if I set it to do this, will automatically guess beforehand what is important to me - i.e. visiting grandma over going to a hockey game. I adjust it as needed.

Then, it looks at the location based goals, the weights of everything on the schedule, the nearby businesses that could meet my needs, maybe asks a few more questions to fine tune the business aspect and travel time. Viola! A screen comes up with a "This is how Google suggests you use your time."

By the way, could you also include in there something to help me meet goals? I mean, if I want to read a section of the bible everyday, it asks when I want to include it and if I did it. Or loosing weight? Or how about contacting people (like family members) in a list (i.e. This Sunday, you will be reminded to call Uncle Jim. Or during the second full moon in a month, call a friend you haven't talked to in a while.) You see, there is this wonderful site called 43things.com, but I don't think they have any way of helping you do what you say you would like to do.

And finally, I want spell check to be on all the time unless I shut it off. Because I can't spell and I forget to hit the spell check button too often.

How soon will it take you to do this Google? Why don't you save yourself some time and hire me as a consultant for a year?

Those are some interesting suggestions.
