When you create a task, you’ll only be asked for the task title at first. If you don’t have a personal list that makes sense, you can always create your task in the built-in My Day, Important, Planned, or Tasks. To create a task, hop to an existing list and click the Add Task button in that list. Tasks: This is a place to keep ad hoc tasks and tasks that don’t fit any of the lists that you’ve created.Assigned to you: Any tasks that are assigned to you in To Do, Outlook tasks, or Microsoft Planner - even by other people - will automatically be added to Assigned to you.Flagged Email: You can enable any email that you flagged in Outlook to automatically show up in To Do as a related task.This gives you a good overview of how you should set up your upcoming schedule to manage these tasks. Planned: Any task that has a reminder set or a due date will automatically be added to Planned where the tasks are generally listed in chronological order.Save this space for the critical or easily-forgotten tasks that you want to make sure are highlighted for the future. Important: To add any task to your Important list, click the star next to a task name.It helps keep you from getting overwhelmed by all the tasks you may have in To Do. My Day allows you to have a clear idea of what you want to complete on that given day.

My Day is your opportunity to review your tasks (regardless of what other list they may be in) and add any that you want to accomplish that day.
