Give Every Task a Home
How to Organize Team Tasks in One Place Using Microsoft 365
Try this Today:
Choose one task tool
Pick a single place for tasks—like Microsoft Planner or To Do—and commit to using it consistently.
Move tasks out of your inbox
Emails are for communication, not task tracking. When an email requires action, turn it into a task and assign it.
Set due dates and owners
Every task should have a clear “who” and “when.” If it doesn’t, it’s likely to get missed.
Do a daily 5-minute check-in
At the start or end of your day, review your task list to reprioritize and stay focused.
A little structure creates a lot of clarity. When everyone knows where work lives, teams spend less time chasing tasks—and more time getting things done.
