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.
Tip: To switch to Dark theme, go to Settings, then Theme.
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.
