💡 Want to start using a to-do list to better manage your time?
Microsoft To-Do could be a great place to start.
📚 The Simple, Reliable Microsoft To-Do List Application
Creating a to-do list will help you stay on track with your tasks, events, goals, habits…
Whatever it may be!
However, starting out with the correct to-do list can determine whether you stick with it.
If you are used to writing in a notebook, on the back of your hand, or trusting your memory, using an application will remove the stress of forgetting. Microsoft To-Do is the perfect place to start due to its simplicity, reliability and easy to navigate features.
📝What is Microsoft To-Do?
Microsoft To-Do is, well, exactly what it says on the tin.
A to-do list application! A very easy, non confusing one at that.
There are no real special features to confuse you like many advanced productivity applications.
This is simply a place to write your daily to-dos, set due dates, assign tasks and share lists.
Microsoft To-Do can be used alongside your current Microsoft eco-system, or you can use it on its own. It looks and feels like other Microsoft software, making it easy to get used to.
