Seeking Assistance with Task Management

Is anyone willing to lend a hand or are people just here for entertainment? It seems like no one is interested in providing assistance. Instead, I've encountered moderators who are not following their own rules.

Whoa, sorry to hear you’ve had a rough time here Some folks on the forum might not have the expertise you’re looking for, and sometimes moderators get caught up in keeping the peace. Don’t worry; I’m here to help you with task management.

You might be wondering, “What tools in Microsoft 365 or Microsoft Office can I use to stay on top of my tasks?” Here are some suggestions:

Microsoft To Do

  1. Get Microsoft To Do - This is a dedicated task management app that integrates well with the rest of the Microsoft ecosystem. Create tasks, set deadlines, and even break down larger tasks into smaller ones. It’s available both as a web app and mobile app.

Outlook Tasks

  1. Use Outlook Tasks - If you’re already using Outlook for email, you can easily create tasks from your emails or within the Tasks module. It’s not as comprehensive as Microsoft To Do, but it gets the job done for simpler task management.

Microsoft Planner

  1. Try Microsoft Planner - This one’s great for team collaboration, but you can also use it solo. Create separate boards for different projects, add tasks and checklists, and set due dates. It’s visually appealing and really helps you keep track of multiple tasks.

Microsoft Excel

  1. Create a Task Management Spreadsheet - If you’re more comfortable with spreadsheets, you can create a task management sheet in Excel. Set up columns for tasks, due dates, and status, and you can even use conditional formatting to highlight tasks nearing their deadlines.

All of these tools are part of Microsoft 365 or Microsoft Office, so you likely already have access to them. Hope this helps you get started with managing your tasks more efficiently
