With a full calendar and many tasks to go through during a workweek, it's easy for some tasks to be forgotten or lost. Microsoft has solved this with the To-Do tool.

Microsoft To-Do is an application designed to help you better structure work tasks, so you work more productively. To-Do is made for task management across Microsoft's platforms. Whether you're logged into the desktop app via PC, or using the mobile app on the go, you have access to the to-do list and can stay updated and organized.

Organize your day with My Day

Efficiently work through the day's tasks in My Day (shown in the image below). When you open the day for the first time each day, the app will greet you with a new space to add the tasks you want to accomplish that day and show you which tasks are due that day.

Create as many lists and tasks as you want. Easily keep track of the lists and tasks by setting due dates, reminders for each task, and how important each task is. You can organize the tasks in alphabetical order, by creation date, or due date.

Use Steps to break down the larger tasks into more manageable parts and notes to record extra details. Since all the tasks are stored on Exchange Online servers, they are also automatically synchronized in Outlook Tasks.

Start your day with To-Do

Studies show that 2-4 hours after waking up is the best time to identify and focus on the day's tasks. By setting aside time early in the day to set up a plan and goals for the day, it will be easier to work productively throughout the day with the plan.

Microsoft To-Do is available as both a desktop and mobile app.
