If you move it, it doesn't change the date. If something comes up to change your schedule, it doesn't update your task. You can do this in Outlook by dragging your To Do tasks onto your calendar and setting a start and end time, but it doesn't really connect back to your task.

More importantly, I like to timebox my tasks in a calendar. I like to be able to see scheduled tasks vs unscheduled tasks. I don't want that task lingering on my list until I'm close to it. I know I will need to schedule my next dental exam in November, but I don't know my work commitments, so I've not set a date with my dentist yet. There are a lot of things I keep track of where I cannot start them until a date later, and I don't want them visible until I'm in that window. If you are using the Outlook desktop client, you can get some of this by working with the tasks there instead of in To Do.ģ. Now I can use the categories I created in Outlook, but there is no way for me to show a view of all tasks that match that category. The closest thing I can do is create my own hashtags and apply them to every task where they would apply and run a search on them. I cannot see a grouping of 5 lists that match a particular set of criteria. I can see all, or I can see an individual list. You can click and drag to manually move things, but who wants to do all that when you might have 50+ things at one time showing up?Ģ.

If they are the smart lists that aggregate from Planner (Assigned to Me) or all completed tasks or all active tasks, you cannot sort them. I cannot sort tasks in To Do unless they are in lists I created. So, for right now, these are a lot of the things I do not like about MS To Do.ġ. I don't know yet how many parts this is going to have when I'm done. I was originally going to group everything I hate about Planner and To Do in one post, but I have come back to the top to edit this paragraph because I'm thinking about even more, and I've not started to list those about Planner. I hate pushing Planner and To Do onto people, but they are better than nothing, and they are much better than attempting to use Outlook and Word to manage projects.
