Can I use Google Calendar as a to do list?

This begs the inquiry “What is the difference between Google Calendar and Google Tasks?”
Calendars manage your appointments; to do lists manage your tasks, but it’s useful to see both things at once. This is why Google Calendar has a built in to do list : Google Tasks. You can find it in Google Calendar right now, though it is a little hidden in the right panel.
Here you can add a description, date and time, subtasks, or move the task to a different list. To keep track of different tasks or ones within separate projects, create multiple task lists in Google Calendar to organize them. Select the arrow next to the list name at the top of the Tasks window, then choose Create new list.
