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.
