Track the moving parts with Microsoft To Do

Your first list

To get started, select the + New List icon on the toolbar and add a name to the list. We called ours the Oceans project. To make the list more fun, add an emoji by selecting the icon to the left of the list title.

With the title settled, let’s move on to the main point of the list: adding tasks. To add a task, select + Add a To-do and enter your task, then select the “Enter” key to confirm it. To edit, simply click on the task again. This allows you to add it to My Day, set a reminder, add a due date, add notes, or set the task to recur multiple times.

My Day is a way to pull together an agenda for each school day so you stay on top of what you need to get done.

How can I use To Do in school?

Microsoft To Do is the perfect task management tool for your school life. Whether you’re working on a project or trying to keep track of homework, To Do can help keep you organized. Here are some examples of how to get the most out of your lists.

Managing a project

Breaking down bigger projects into smaller tasks is a great way to conquer even the most daunting challenges! Create lists of different milestones you want to reach or elements you need to complete in order to accomplish your goal. Set due dates and reminders to help you stay on track!

If you’re working on a project with others, select the Share icon on your list to invite someone else to track task completion with you.

Homework planner

Create a homework to-do list, where each task is a homework assignment. You can even add reminders and due dates, keeping you on schedule for what’s coming up.
