It would be great if you could plan your tasks for the following day. This is a great way to finish a working day, setting aside what to start or continue with in the next morning so you can forget about it until then.

I think it would be a good idea, if you have an option to "auto-fill" My Day with planned To-Dos.So I can set the due date for an entry for tomorrow and this will be in my tomorrows My Day automatically.Best regards,Nico

This is something that we've been discussing. 😊

Polly Davidson - Are you guys still talking about this? Or has it fallen off the todo list again. It is one of those things I find very frustrating. In an ideal world, I want to wake up, turn on my PC, and have To-Do give me a starter to My Day without me having to do anything. So, that might be bits I added the day before expressly for the morning, anything left over undone, plus long term scheduled tasks that are due on that day. My day should be a neat, unified list of disparate tasks. Otherwise, I struggle to find a use for it. I do understand that if I want to add tasks "for tomorrow" I can just schedule them in the normal way (and I think this is why this function has not been added to My Day), but that is cumbersome. A todo list works best when you can just throw things at it without having to think too much, and then it regurgitates it all at the right moment. 🙂 PS - I am rather amused that Microsoft's new Editor addon for Chrome doesn't appear to work on this site!

Is there any progress on this feature request?I like the idea of 'my day' but it is petty useless if I cannot plan at least the day before. And I don't understand why tasks having a 'due date' are not automatically on that list at that day.Any feedback from microsoft would be nice, as this request is pretty old already.

Polly Davidson I'm brand new using Outlook, so I'm trying to learn how to use the task list. The training video for My day seems to indicate we have to do it in the morning. I agree with the other comments. Planning the night before is really a best practice and using the existing due dates also makes tremendous sense. Has there been any movement on this since these posts were made?

  Hi, its 2022. Are you still discussing this feature. I'd like to set my own expiration timeframe for My Day as I also plan my next day the night before. Getting up at 5am and in meetings by 5:30a, this idea that one plans their day in the morning is unrealistic with teams across the world.

  Hello
  Like many others I want to know: why are you not adding a simple Y/N option in the set up like "Keep My Day?" The suggestions stuf is all fine and okay, but I just want to keep things I've added to "my day" until I kick them out - maybe after 2 or 3 days... NOT when Microsoft kicks them out...
  Is this really so hard to understand? almost 3 years!!

    Yes, this is exactly what I'm looking for: Let me set "YES" for My Day for everything I want to keep there until I set it back to NO. That way every day My Day list resets to exactly how I want it, full of my daily reminders.
