M365 Apps You’re Probably Not Using but Should: Microsoft To Do
Who doesn’t love the feeling of checking off a task? There is nothing quite like starting off with a large list of to-dos and seeing it start to dwindle down as you complete them. You can really get a sense of progress as you strike off an item.
Everyone has a different method of tracking these little successes. You may use your inbox, various notepad files or, for those that like to be nostalgic, windows sticky notes. When starting down your road of personal task management these might be your first tactic and they might work for a bit, but they are never as organized as you would like or give you a full view of the tasks you have ahead of you or the tasks you have completed.
Let us introduce you to the Microsoft To Do app. To Do was built for this exact process. It has key features that will help you visualize all your tasks, organize them and ultimately complete them.
1. Seamless Integration with Microsoft Ecosystem
One of the standout features of Microsoft To Do is its seamless integration with other Microsoft 365 applications. If you’re already using Outlook, OneNote or Microsoft Teams, you’ll find that To Do complements these tools effortlessly. Tasks created in Outlook can be easily synchronized with Microsoft To Do, allowing for a centralized and cohesive task management experience. This interconnected ecosystem ensures that you can seamlessly transition between applications, making your workflow more efficient and organized.
2. Clean Interface and User-Friendly Experience
The Microsoft To Do app utilizes a simple interface. The drag and drop system can be used to easily reorder tasks or transfer them to a different day that is more convenient to work on them. New tasks can be added manually with one click or you can capture tasks from flagged emails or Microsoft Planner tasks. You can easily switch between views to focus on one task source or see all your tasks at once.
3. Smart Suggestions and Reminders
Don’t know where to start? Microsoft To Do leverages intelligent algorithms to offer smart suggestions and reminders. The app learns from your behavior, understanding your priorities and deadlines, and provides timely reminders accordingly. This proactive approach ensures that critical tasks are not overlooked, helping you stay on top of your game and reducing the stress associated with forgetfulness. An auto populated today list shows you what tasks you should focus on and allows you to easily move to other tasks once you are finished.
4. Collaborative Task Management:
For teams and collaborative projects, Microsoft To Do is a game-changer. Integrated seamlessly with Microsoft Teams, the app enables teams to create shared task lists, assign responsibilities and monitor progress collaboratively.
