Using To-Do for work today is a different story. Unfortunately, migrating my Wunderlist tasks to To-Do failed and back then To-Do was missing some things that I was using in Wunderlist, so eventually, I stayed with Wunderlist. When Wunderlist was acquired by Microsoft and Microsoft To-Do proposed as its replacement, I gave it a try. I have tried Microsoft To-Do in the past, with little luck. So when recently, my colleague Mike introduced me to Microsoft To-Do I was all ears. But with writing tasks as messages to yourself, it's all too easy to lose track of them over time as they move away from your timeline. On one hand, it was very convenient because I was in Slack already so all my todos were right in front of me without having to switch the context. And so recently, I found myself writing down my todos in Slack and marking them as done with reactions. At work, however, I'm spending a lot of time in Slack. I use it for everything from recurring tasks I need to do weekly or monthly to groceries. Personally, I'm an avid user of Wunderlist.

About meĮverybody has their own way of managing tasks: sticky notes, paper notebook, OneNote, Outlook tasks or anyone out of the 20 million task management apps available out there. It turns out, that there is a Flow for that. I live in Slack but I'd love to be able to easily create Microsoft To-Do todos.
