Click here to read a set of generic rules, produced by Simpletivity, that you may find useful in helping you to better manage your To Do list [using any application] by focusing on what really needs to be done first, in a realistic timescale.
The To Do App from Microsoft is a List manager available both as a Web App [easily accessed using your browser] and as a Smartphone App that you can download.
The App lets you manage any information [in what it calls Lists & Notes] that you can keep in either personal Lists or shared Lists.
The Lists are made up of a collection of individual Notes containing information you decide to keep on any specific topic.
Each Note contains at least a title that appears under the List heading and can optionally be given a reminder date and a due by date.
These Note entries can be expanded to include a body of text to hold additional related information. However if this body of text starts to grow in size it may pose performance and / or capacity issues with less powerful older equipment. In such a situation you could consider putting this additional lengthy information into an online data storage facility like Google Drive, then in the body of the small Note just enter a short description and the URL linking to the location of the larger document.
