5 Creative Ways to Use TaskSite (That You Haven’t Thought Of)

Think TaskSite is just for basic website reminders? Think again. This powerful little extension can do so much more than nudge you to finish a task on a webpage. From organizing research to managing travel plans, TaskSite can transform how you interact with the web if you know how to use it creatively.

In this article, we’ll explore five unexpected ways to make TaskSite your secret productivity weapon. Whether you’re a longtime user looking to upgrade your game or someone new to context-aware to-dos, these hacks will show you just how versatile TaskSite really is.

1. Turn TaskSite into Your Research Companion

If you’re doing deep research online for a project, paper, or purchase TaskSite can become your digital sidekick. As you browse through articles, blogs, product pages, or documentation, use TaskSite to jot down key takeaways or actions right on the site.

Example: On a blog about productivity, you leave a note: “Include this stat in my article on browser habits.” Now, when you return to that blog, you’ll see exactly what you meant to do with it.

Why it works: It’s like leaving sticky notes on the web itself. Instead of jumping between bookmarks and your notes app, TaskSite keeps everything where you need it: right in context.

2. Build a Smarter Reading and Watch List

Let’s be honest your bookmarks folder labeled “Read Later” is basically a black hole. Instead, use TaskSite to create context-aware reading or watch lists. Want to save a YouTube video? Add a TaskSite task like: “Watch this on Sunday, prep tips for Monday’s meeting.”

When you revisit the page, the reminder is there including your original intent. Plus, you get to check it off when you’re done. That’s dopamine and productivity.

Why it works: You remember why you saved something, not just that you saved it. No more “What is this video again?” just clear, purposeful tasks.

3. Use TaskSite as a Lightweight CRM

Need to follow up with a potential client? Job contact? Vendor? Use TaskSite to leave follow-up reminders right on LinkedIn profiles, Gmail threads, or company websites.

Example: You visit a potential client’s website. TaskSite shows: “Follow up with pricing proposal on May 15.” Boom you’re reminded without needing a separate CRM or spreadsheet.

Why it works: Your memory is offloaded to the exact spot you need it. The next time you open that client’s page, you’ll know exactly what to do.

4. Build a Personal Dashboard on Sites You Use Often

Transform routine websites into focused workspaces by adding TaskSite notes that reinforce good habits.

Example: On Twitter? Add a TaskSite task: “Share article, then close Twitter. No scrolling!” Or on your team’s Jira board: “Update tickets before the standup.”

Why it works: These context-aware nudges reinforce habits, save time, and help reduce digital distraction. It’s like training your future self.

5. Plan Trips and Errands with On-Site Reminders

Planning a trip? Running errands? Attach TaskSite tasks to travel websites, Google Maps, or booking pages.

Example: On your hotel reservation page, you add: “Email hotel to confirm late check-in.” Or at the grocery store site, “Don’t forget dish soap!” Now when you revisit those pages, you’ll see your plan.

Why it works: It’s like location-based reminders, but for the web. You’re reminded when and where it matters no more forgotten details or missed errands.

TaskSite is more than just a browser to-do list. It’s a flexible, contextual productivity tool and these five creative use cases are just the beginning. Whether you want to manage research, follow up with contacts, stay focused online, or plan your next trip, TaskSite can help.

So don’t limit yourself. Start exploring new ways to use TaskSite in your daily flow. You might discover your own creative use we haven’t even thought of yet.
