These are the kind of tasks you might have marked as Important by selecting the star at the right side of the task. Especially if you have tasks due a month from now that you have to work on a little bit over time. You might be thinking at this point that you’d just always use the Planned section and work from top to bottom.īut in the real world, this doesn’t work. If you get through everything, you can start on Tomorrow, or pick from any of the later tasks in the other two sections. You’ll focus on Today during your daily work. The sections aren’t specifically named this way, but you can see the concept is the same.
It actually follows somewhat of a Getting Things Done (GTD) “Now, Next, Later” model. What’s interesting about the approach used in Microsoft To Do is that the order doesn’t strictly go day by day. Anything with a due date or reminder of today, will show up under the Today section here.
This is where you’ll likely spend most of your time in Microsoft To Do, so it’s worth exploring first.Īs you organize tasks into their individual lists (which we’ll get to below), you’ll assign tasks due dates and reminders. When you select Planned in the left navigation pane, you’ll see all tasks due today, as well as upcoming tasks. For example, in the My Day view, you can select Today at the upper right of the window to see all tasks that are either due or you’ve set a reminder for, organized by date. The right side may also contain some items. The center panel is where the tasks will be listed whenever you select any view in the left navigation pane. Lists: The entire bottom of the left navigation panel includes all of the lists you’ve created to organize your tasks.
Tasks: Any tasks you’ve added using the Microsoft Tasks app.Assigned to you: See tasks that other Microsoft To Do users have assigned to you using your email address.Planned: All of your tasks, sorted in order by date due.Important: Flag important items, no matter when they’re due.My Day: Where you assign the most important tasks from your lists that you need to get finished today.Let’s explore the left navigation pane, one section at a time.
