Stay organised with Microsoft ToDo

At university you have lots of competing deadlines so it's important to have a strategy to help you on track.  That's when a 'to do' list can help.  A 'to do' list can help your productivity by allowing you to plan out and prioritise your tasks to ensure they are completed on time.  Having a clear picture of what you need to get done can also help prevent you feeling overwhelmed.  

Digital apps can help with this as you can access them from any device, search for your tasks and easily prioritise the work you need to do.  We recommend Microsoft To Do.  Sign in with your London Met university email address and password.

Why we love it

  • Add due dates to your tasks so you can meet your deadlines.
  • Break down tasks into manageable steps.
  • Focus on what matters- add only today's tasks to 'My Day'.
  • Create themed lists e.g. you could have different lists for different modules.
  • Easily prioritise and sort your tasks- mark things as important.
  • Works with Outlook and Teams- flag emails and Teams chats to create them as tasks within your ToDo lists.
