INTRODUCTION
Creating a to-do list can help you stay on top of important tasks and projects. Using Outlook's Tasks list, you can build lists of tasks you need to perform each day and of items you must work on to complete a project. Any item you list in the Tasks list is called a task.
TIP
Deleting Tasks
Right-click a task and select Delete to delete it. Alternatively, click the task and press the Delete key on your keyboard. If you delete the wrong task by accident, open the Edit menu and select Undo.
TIP
Assigning Due Dates
You don't have to assign due dates to your tasks, but doing so can help you keep track of when tasks need to be done. If you don't complete a task by the due date, the task appears in your Tasks list in red.
