As always, the best solution for a technology problem is frequently the one you already know.īut I’ve been vaguely dissatisfied with each thing I tried over the years. If you have a system for your task list and it works for you, use it. Some are accessible in a web browser, some have a matching Windows or Mac app, some are only accessible on a phone. Some of the apps sync from place to place, others don’t. There are literally hundreds and hundreds of phone apps like Toodledo, Todoist, Remember The Milk, and so many more. OneNote and Evernote handle any kind of list, including tasks and to dos. The desktop version of Outlook has supported tasks since the beginning of time. Keep is a solid choice for a to do list! I use Keep for our grocery list because I can add items by speaking to my Google Home hub. Google also offers Google Keep, my personal choice for filing miscellaneous bits of information. Gmail users can use Google Tasks from the Gmail window or a separate app. There are so many ways to use technology to keep track of your to do list. Let me give you some background and a couple of thoughts about getting started. If you give it a fair chance and it doesn’t work for you, no worries, grab the post-its and start filling up the bottom edge of your monitor again. If it becomes part of your daily flow, it might be worth it. Commit to using Microsoft To Do for a couple of weeks until it becomes second nature. But take this seriously! It won’t do any good to look at it for ten minutes, add a couple of things, then forget about it the next day. I’ve tried a lot of different systems for tracking to dos and I think Microsoft might have a winner. Microsoft is now fully committed to Microsoft To Do as its central hub for task lists for business users and individuals.

The new item for your to do list is: check out Microsoft To Do, a simple task manager. Okay, what popped into your mind as the place you would put that? A notepad on the refrigerator? A post-it on the steering wheel? An app on your phone? A list in Outlook or OneNote? An Excel spreadsheet? Promising yourself that you’ll remember even though you know you’re lying? I want you to add something to your to do list.
