Microsoft To-Do is the Personal Productivity Organiser and Planner.\u00a0 It integrates with Email – so when you flag an item in email for follow up or action it puts the task into “To Do”.\u00a0 If you also use Planner then your tasks from Planner that are allocated to you appear in the Allocated Tasks section of To-Do.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
To-Do works across devices and stays “in sync”, whether you use To-Do in your web broswer, in the Windows 10 app or on a mobile device (Android, iOS and iPad options available).<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
So what are the golden rules?\u00a0 These are the rules to help you get the best out of To-Do …<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Use a single piece of software to collect all the things that you have to do – be they ideas, tasks, shopping lists, plans, list of things to pack for holiday, etc.<\/li>\n
Create lists for different parts of your life.\u00a0 Create\u00a0 a list of shopping tasks, or tasks related to a specific plan or piece of work.<\/p>\n
Group similar lists together.<\/p>\n
Use colour to easily identify different lists. <\/li>\n
<\/strong><\/strong>Add due dates, reminders and importance flags to tasks.<\/p>\n
Reminders then pop up in your Outlook list of reminders.<\/li>\n
<\/strong><\/strong>Use the “My Day” option to add an item to your list of things to do today.\u00a0 Anything that you don’t achieve will be flagged in the Smart Suggestions for adding to another day.<\/p>\n
Prioritise the items in your day by moving items around in the list.<\/p>\n
Important flagged items go to the top of the list.<\/li>\n
<\/strong><\/strong>Use the check off to mark items as complete – there’s nothing more satisfying than ticking off completed items.<\/p>\n
Complete tasks on your own or assign for others to help or take on some of the load.<\/li>\n
