Outlook tasks vs microsoft to do4/1/2023 I find the “out of the box” set up in Outlook is not that useful or conducive to good list making but with a few tweaks it can be set up to become a very powerful Productivity Tool for you. This saves me valuable time in researching facts and figures and overall, improves my productivity and time management. I can do research on online and include all my links in the Task item I have created. I am able to insert Tables with detailed action plans for each Task. I can now use my list to plan out my bigger tasks in much more detail. Some days, I simply need to change a few dates and reorder my priorities for my To Do List to be current. The ResultsĪfter getting through an entire year of simply using an electronic list, I can honestly say it has saved me valuable time and improved my consistency in getting things done on time.Īdditionally, I never have to rewrite my list and I never lose a To Do Item once it has been recorded. The Lotus Notes To Do List function cannot be customised in quite the same way, but is still quite useful nevertheless. The Task or To Do List function especially is most underutilized though it should not be in my opinion. Outlook is a fantastic time management tool, though many people don’t realise how powerful it really is. I did not want to have to keep writing my list every day, but I did need to be able to change my list quickly as I adapted to changing circumstances and priorities.įortunately, with a little tweaking I was able to customise the Outlook Task List to suit my needs perfectly. I wanted to be able to easily see my Due Dates and importantly be able to prioritise my list easily. So in making the transition from a Paper List to an Electronic list, the key to me was being able to customise my list so that I could easily manage it. And the good news is that both of these programs contain a To Do or Task List system that is very useful. Most people use MS Outlook of course (though Lotus Notes is still in use in some organisations). We spend such a large amount of our time dealing with emails on our PC’s and Smart Phones that it makes sense to me to use the full functionality of our Email program and try to use the To Do List or Task function as well.
