Easy and worth it
Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft To Do
I use Microsoft To Do almost every day to manage both my business responsibilities and my personal life, and it has become one of the most reliable productivity tools I use. What I appreciate most is its simplicity—there’s no steep learning curve, yet it’s powerful enough to handle complex, multi-layered task lists. I can quickly capture ideas, assign due dates, set reminders, and organize tasks into clear, meaningful lists that actually reflect how I work.
The integration with Outlook and the broader Microsoft ecosystem is a major advantage, allowing emails and flagged items to flow seamlessly into my task list. This keeps important commitments from getting lost and helps me stay accountable. I also value how well it syncs across devices, so whether I’m at my desk, on the road, or at home, my priorities are always visible.
Most importantly, Microsoft To Do helps reduce mental clutter. It gives me confidence that nothing is slipping through the cracks, allowing me to stay focused, organized, and productive both professionally and personally.

Pros
- Separates personal from work tasks
- Integrates seamlessly with Outlook
- Integrates with windows desktop
- Provides a GREAT and easy to use Phone App that syncs with the desktop
Cons
- A drag and drop feature would be nice
- Seamless integration with Google Gmail
- Seamless integration with google calendar
- Definitely helps me meet deadlines
- Absolutely helps me keep clients happy
- I have never missed a deadline that I entered as tasks in Microsoft To Do
- Apple iCloud Calendar (iCal)
No comparison. Microsoft To Do is far better, simply because of the easy integration with Outlook email, allowing me to simply flag an email in Outlook, then recognize it as a task in Microsoft To Do. iCloud does not integrate well, even though it claims to. iCloud also claims to integrate with Google Calendar. Not impressed there either.
