  // Retrieve all the tasks in the list.
  var tasks = Tasks.Tasks.list(TASK_LIST_ID);

  for (var i = 0; i < tasks.items.length; i++) {
    console.log('  %s) Title: %s, Due on: %s, Status: %s, ID = %s.',
               i.toFixed(0), tasks.items[i].title,

  var dueDate = new Date();
  dueDate.setDate(dueDate.getDate() + 5);
  task.due = dueDate.toISOString();

  var newTask = Tasks.Tasks.insert(task, TASK_LIST_ID);
  console.log('Task with title = %s, id = %s and notes = %s was created. ' +
