    One useful feature I have found is dragging items up or down within the 'My Day' screen to personalise the order in which you want to work on things. This can also be done with in a task to reorder the sub-tasks, if required. Thanks for highlighting flagging tasks from within Outlook to make them appear in To-Do, which I haven't used before.

    This app saved me from my overarching urge to make complex workflows and always end up switching to something else. It's just ENOUGH! Every list and tasks in one place and no upper limit to the number of lists you can have. It's literally so simple! For a student, tasks are most of the times very straightforward and i know what to do, just spending the minimum amount of time to plan it in MS Tasks saved me!
