Entering a Task
Knowing what you need to do isn’t enough: you need to know what to do
next. When you’re juggling a thousand competing demands all at once, you
need a tool that shows you, at a glance, what you need to do next to keep
your work moving forward.
Outlook 2010 has several task management tools that help you organize
your lengthy To-Do list for peak performance. Those tools include the Tasks
module, the To-Do List, and the Daily Task List. Chapter 9 describes all of
them, but here’s the quick way to get started in a jiffy.
To enter a new task, follow these steps:
1. Click the text that says Click Here to Add a New Task.
The words disappear, and you see the insertion point (a blinking line).
2. Type the name of your task.
Your task appears in the block under the Subject line in the Task list
(which in turn appears in Figure 1-5).
