My Tasks and My Day help you see and manage all the work that matters to you—across personal tasks and shared plans—in one place. Use them together to plan your day, stay organized, and make steady progress on your work. 

Track your tasks in My Tasks

My Tasks brings together tasks from different sources, so you don’t have to switch between plans to find what needs your attention. 

My Tasks pane of the Planner app

My Tasks is designed to centralize all the tasks relevant to you and organized into four distinct tabs:​​​​​​​

Tasks in My Tasks consist of: 

  • Private tasks: This is a tab where you can create tasks that do not belong to a plan yet. You can then further organize these tasks inside plans by selecting the More options (...) menu of any task.

  • Assigned to me: Includes all of the tasks that have been assigned to you across Microsoft Teams meeting notes, basic plans, premium plans, task lists in Loop, and shared lists in To Do.

  • Flagged emails: All your flagged emails from Outlook appear in the Flagged emails section. You can also navigate to the emails directly from the task by selecting the attachment.

Plan your day with My Day 

My Day experience in the Planner app​​​​​​​

My Day is a dedicated space to plan and complete work for the current day. It helps reduce clutter so you can focus on what needs to get done now. 

How tasks appear in My Day 

  • Tasks due today automatically appear in My Day.

  • You can manually add tasks from My Day.

  • You can create new tasks directly in the Grid view in My Day.

Tasks in My Day remain connected to their original plans, so updates stay in sync. My Day clears itself every night, so you can start the next day with a blank slate. Any unfinished tasks in My Day that are left over before it clears will be available in the original plan they came from.

Organize your task list 

Use different views and tools to focus on what matters most: 

  • Board view is ideal for grouping tasks visually by plan, progress, due date, or priority.

  • Grid view is great when you want to scan task details in a table.

  • Filters can help narrow tasks by due date, priority, or progress.

  • Sorting in Grid view is great for reviewing tasks in the order that works best for you.

  • In Grid view, you can also show, hide, and reorder columns, so you only see the task details you care about most.
