Many people keep to-do lists—on paper, in a spreadsheet, or with a combination of paper and electronic methods. In Outlook, you can combine various lists into one, get reminders, and track task progress.

1. Open Outlook, and on the Home tab, in the New group, choose New Items.
2. Choose Task, fill in the task form as needed, and then choose Save & Close.

Keyboard shortcut:    To create a new task, press Ctrl+Shift+K.
