Microsoft To Do + OneNote + Outlook Workflow

Microsoft To Do, OneNote, and Outlook Calendar are amazing apps individually but together they make the best productivity app combination as a simple segmented system. Microsoft To Do as a task manager, OneNote as your simple note-taking app, and Outlook as your email application is something not many applications can compete with.

love it! when you're in calendar view, you can also drag your tasks into your calendar to create appointments and time block your days. this is really nice since my work calendar doesn't let me connect my calendar with third-party apps

The problem with Microsoft apps is the inconsistencies between the desktop and the mobile apps. You can do all these things you mentioned in the video on the desktop, but not on mobile.

I am so grateful for this video. Please keep doing more of these. I'm really excited about the Second Brain/GTD/Productivity concepts. Work revolves around MS and that will not change. I tried to learn Notion but felt like I needed to learn a whole programing language on top of figuring out how to work the program and then how to adapt it to my needs. My new "productive-minded" brain thinks that I should invest time in getting great at one ecosystem that I can adapt to work and home, rather than splitting my effort trying to use multiple systems only to be mediocre or decent at the system that's the flavor of the month.

Im glad you did this. Problem with a lot of business ecosystems is that they want you or force you to stick to office 365.

To be honest, because of the reminders and calendar integrations that MS office has with iOS, it makes their software suite one of the best for me. OneNote to To-Do, pops up on apple calendar and reminders watchfaces.
I have the Modular Duo watchface with a timer in the top-left pocket, Outlook's "Meeting Day View" in the middle, and Reminders in the bottom. Maybe its not "second brain" but I have a hard enough time with my first brain, so just keeping an eye on my day and what I'm supposed to be doing really helps.
Just wish it showed more than 1 reminder at a time

To create the website shortcut as an "app" on my Edge installation (version 106) I went to: 3 dots menu on top right --> Apps --> Install this site as an App --> Then select options you want with that shortcut.

Didnt know about the boards feature and turning onenote tasks into to do tasks! Thank you, so helpful

[stevenrussell]

Workplace is MS-centric, but integrating Notion into this is the goal. Notion offers so much, but SharePoint/Teams is not going to go away. Would love to see more business content on how these might co-exist to reap the benefits of both and lure those MS users into better ways.

Currently switching over to Microsoft/windows from macOS. This was helpful.

I have a beta version of OneNote, and it looks better than it is right now. Hope you will get an update on the current channel soon and tell us your impressions

[MiamiHeat]

I really liked your pessimistic intro. For those stuck with Microsoft, we make do with what we got!

[sammyshreds]

Idk, I've been trying to figure out a good productivity system for my phone for a couple years now and I think I like the Microsoft system the most so far.

[andrewfuchs]

Thank you. Can I take meeting notes that are linked to the actual calendar event and also saved under a section in one related to the project?

[maxipercovich]

smashing, so simple and good, nice stuff

[Misiekza]

And how to integrate to do with microsoft calendar. I mean to have tasks from to do appear directly in the calendar after selecting the date in To Do

[adriansrfr]

Best Microsoft workflow I've seen yet

I'm trying to find a GTD method to get my Outlook web, SFDC tasks all in order. any tips to simplify and integrate easily?

[robfuzz]

I'm still unclear how to integrate OneNote with MS Todo. I want a task, I guess an Outlook task, to link back to a OneNote note. Is this possible? I see you did something like that but I guess you were in the desktop version of OneNote. I get so confused about all the version of that app. Edit: you did say you had to have a business account, so I guess there's my answer. :/

[LaeeqRind]

Please tell me there’s a work around to Outlook OneNote integration.
I returned to Microsoft platform at the start of this year, the integration between Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft OneNote on Mac platform was phenomenal. Then something happened and from April 2023 this integration plugin has never worked.
Do you have any solution for this problem, plz? 😢

[gabrielbarrett]

Thanks for information.
How do you get the other MS Suite app icons on the left for quick access? They populate for all apps other than outlook.
thanks in advance
