While I love the completeness of Outlook, it does make some small things in the real world rather cumbersome in the digital world.

For instance, I have a paper daily planner on my desk which only lists the days of the week in columns. For each day, I simply write down a few words or lines to remind me what I want to do today or what I should do that day; this process takes only a few minutes to clear my head of things to do without getting distracted.

If I were to do this with Outlook Tasks, I need a whole bunch of clicks and open new windows, carefully clicking the correct day and basically lose my train of thoughts.

Is there an easy way in Outlook to emulate the ease of use my beloved “Daily Task List Planner”?
