Limitations of Creating Tasks in Google Calendar
While Google Calendar offers a convenient way to manage tasks, there are some limitations.

Here are some drawbacks to consider:

Limited task detail features: Lacks advanced options for progress tracking. You can't attach files or comments to your tasks, making it difficult to manage complex projects
No dependencies: Requires breaking down into smaller steps, and Google Tasks doesn't natively support subtasks. This could make it difficult to manage projects with multiple layers, unlike other tools that allow task dependencies.
Basic reminder and notification system: It offers limited flexibility to customize notifications or integrate them with different apps, making it difficult to efficiently keep track of all your reminders, especially for more demanding users.
Limited collaboration features: Restricts task assignments to other users or only allows collaborations with teammates directly within the task, making it less ideal for group projects or team management.
It's not a full-fledged project management solution: It serves as a simple tool, better suited for personal to-dos than more complex tasks that require robust tracking, prioritization, and reporting tools.
