Join David Diskin for an in-depth discussion in this video Five ways to create a task, part of Outlook 2010: Tips, Tricks, and Shortcuts.
Welcome to chapter 4, "Staying on Task."…In this chapter, I'm going to arm you with a variety of ways to help manage your…tasks within Outlook, starting with five different ways to create them.…The first is the To-Do bar.…To add a task to the To-Do bar, place your cursor here and just start typing.…Press Enter when you're done.…Outlook will add the task to your list and set the due date as today.…You should try and keep the task name short. But if you want to add notes, just…double-click on the task after you've created it.…
Number two is the Daily Task List.…If you're viewing your Calendar, and you need to get something done, you can…click on the Daily Task List area for the appropriate day and start typing.…By the way, if you don't see either the To-Do bar or the Daily Task List, don't worry;…the very next video discusses how to turn those features on.…The third is to flag an e-mail.…If an e-mail directly relates to a task, you can save time by just flagging the e-mail itself.…
Click on the outline of a flag, and it will turn red and be marked as due today.…
