You may have read my recent article<\/a> where I said the new Microsoft To-Do app is not for serious task managers. In it, I mentioned that it does<\/em> have possibilities for my simpler One Minute To-Do List system<\/a> (1MTD).
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UPDATE May 15: <\/strong>See my warnings in my above linked article. Don’t activate this app on your existing MYN task list without a lot of thought about what might happen. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Well, I\u2019ve been working on that, designing a simple way to use To-Do with 1MTD. I am only part way through that, but I\u2019ve become rather encouraged by the possibilities. I\u2019ve decided that the designers of Microsoft To-Do have done a rather nice job of creating a simple set of task tools, and so I am warming up to it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am finding, though, that it does take some thought on how to do a 1MTD port into To-Do —how to do it right. So if I were you, I wouldn\u2019t jump right into it without some guidance, which I hope to have for you soon. I will announce in this newsletter when I have that 1MTD porting to Microsoft To Do completed. I do have the list of lessons done, view them here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Who Should Consider Microsoft To-Do?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who would want to consider doing this, using Microsoft To-Do for 1MTD? Well, if you\u2019ve struggled getting going with either my MYN or 1MTD systems in the past, whether in Outlook or Toodledo, this might be a good way to go. The To-Do apps could be just what you need since they are so simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or maybe you know someone who does not have the patience to\ntake my other training, and you want to give them a quick option. Microsoft To-Do,\nused with 1MTD, might be that solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still, Not for\nSerious Task Managing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, that said, it is still obvious to me that serious<\/em> task managers, those adding say ten new tasks a day and collecting hundreds of deferred actions, will NOT want to use To-Do. IMHO, it just can\u2019t handle the high volumes, the quick editing, and the automatic re-prioritizing that a desktop copy of Outlook, or Toodledo, can give you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, stick with my core MYN and 1MTD<\/a> training\nif any of that concerns you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If interested, next steps: <\/strong>But if you need a super-simple solution, keep an eye open for my next writings and video sets that will cover using Microsoft To-Do with 1MTD. And let me know in the comments section of this post if that sounds interesting to you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
