Whether it’s reading more books, learning a new language or working out regularly, achieving your goals can be really hard. One day it's "I got called into a last-minute meeting." The next day it's "I have a friend in town." And before you know it, your goals are delayed or forgotten. In fact, with all the things you need to do in a given week, it’s probably harder than ever to find the time—even when your goal really matters to you. That’s why starting today, we’re introducing Goals in Google Calendar.

Starting this week, we’re bringing Reminders in Google Calendar to the web so you can keep track of your to-dos alongside your events. Just like on Android and iPhone, you’ll get the following:
Reminders stick around - If a reminder isn't completed, it will appear at the top of your calendar until you mark it done.
Last year, we launched the new Google Contacts preview to consumer users with several time-saving improvements, such as a rebuilt “Find duplicates” feature, automatic updating of contacts with shared Google profile information, as well as a fresh look and feel.
We want to create technology that helps millions of others understand our changing world and live more sustainably—whether it’s connecting people with public transit routes, or using the data that powers Google Earth to help you see if your roof is good for solar panels.
You don't have to email around multiple versions of a spreadsheet whenever your team needs to work together. Upload Excel files to Google Drive, convert them to Google spreadsheets, share them with others and edit them online.
