    One useful feature I have found is dragging items up or down within the 'My Day' screen to personalise the order in which you want to work on things. This can also be done with in a task to reorder the sub-tasks, if required. Thanks for highlighting flagging tasks from within Outlook to make them appear in To-Do, which I haven't used before.

    This app saved me from my overarching urge to make complex workflows and always end up switching to something else. It's just ENOUGH! Every list and tasks in one place and no upper limit to the number of lists you can have. It's literally so simple! For a student, tasks are most of the times very straightforward and i know what to do, just spending the minimum amount of time to plan it in MS Tasks saved me!

    Fantastic video. Looking forward to see the video about integration with other apps. Fyi, I'm using To Do with Power Automate. Whenever certain conditions are met, Power Automate creates a task for me. I'm really happy using it and your video gives me more perspective, different angles. Thank you very much for sharing. My best wishes from Colombia.

    I absolutely adore your tutorials and find them all super helpful. But with "to do" I just notice my head starting to spin. I feel more secure and efficient if I put my to dos on paper by hand. I find it easier to structure tasks in my head if I can directy write them down. But another great tutorial for people who prefer the app option!

      Making notes can get very messy for me and on occasion redundant, BUT, I totally agree that sometimes turning away from the computer to the old-school analog, do it by hand version can calm my mind and actually focus on the list itself without being distracted by all the apps, emails, screen-elements. It really feels good to cross an item off the list :D

    Thanks Leila! I started to use To Do 2 months ago by my own and it's the best tool I've ever had to manage the tool. It's been great to see your video and check out some additional features. I just want to highlight one you missed in One Note.
    If you type a sentence in One Note and then you flag it as Outlook task (Ctrl+Shift+1), you will see it automatically in To Do as well.
    Thanks for your videos!!

    If you use the other version of OneNote that comes with Office 365 (vs. Windows), there's actually an integration with Outlook from there, which then integrates with To Do. I find this handy for taking notes in meetings, and making my to dos right there when taking the note, and then it does fully integrate with Outlook & To Do.

    Thank You so much. I've been trying to stick to 1 company for my productivity, but To Do was not intuitive regarding settings or even use. It has not been very useful to me for the last couple of weeks, but I figured I would try to use it. -You've helped me with at least 3, major changes, that may help it be more useful for me. (So much help considering I was looking at other task options, but prefer to stick with what I already use, when possible.)
