I’m sure you know this situation: Suddenly you remember that you needed to call Mr. X due to product Y. However you’re in the middle of another task, which must be done quickly. At the same time the phone rings nonstop to your attention.

Sure, you could create a new task in Outlook. But let’s face it, in the hustle and bustle of everyday life you don’t have the time to click through the task form.

We have good tip how you can make a fast entry in your Outlook tasks. Type your task in keywords directly in the task list without creating a new task form. With the Tab key you can go into the next field. Later, if you have enough time, you can still specify the task.

Also you can type directly the due date. Instead of selecting a date you can e.g. write “tomorrow” or “next week”. Then confirm with Enter. Outlook will now automatically select the correct date.



Just try it out.
