Feature request: Add to My Day (Tomorrow)
I love the Add to My Day feature. I love that it disappears when the day is done. It's fantastic. But it only works for that day. I believe there is evidence that setting up a daily list the night before is more effective for productivity.
I would like to request a feature for Microsoft To Do: Add to My Day (Tomorrow). This would be just like Add to My Day, except that the item would appear as already added to my day when tomorrow arrives. That's it.
This is different from setting a due date of tomorrow. It's just putting it on tomorrow's My Day list. It may or not be due, but it's on the list.
- I ended up going back to Todoist. I lost the ability for Outlook flagged emails to go into my task list and to see Planner tasks in one place, but To Do is too limited and not getting any new development. It is sad that in a personal productivity area that nearly every Microsoft user has some needs that they don't invest more. But alas it does not generate revenue. I wonder what @Satya Nadella uses?
there is 7 requests for this feature. Each request essentially asking for the same thing. If Microsoft could add the votes for all of these into one, the number of views, likes Replies etc the number of votes would be very high.
1)this request
2)My Tommorrow - Microsoft Community Hub
3)Feature request: plan my day the night before - Microsoft Community Hub
5)Create a 'My week' just like 'My day' - Microsoft Community Hub
6)To Do Tomorrow / This week / Next week - Microsoft Community Hub
7)To do app "My day" - Microsoft Community Hub
These are all contributions / requests from people struggling to forward plan
- There is so much attention to AI when this one little change would make so many ACTUAL current users happy!
- Absolutely agree. Every manager plans his day no later than the night before. No one plans their day over morning coffee. This app is pretty good today. But it would be really excellent only with the function "My tomorrow" and "My day after tomorrow". From a programmer's point of view, I don't see a real problem with this. Nothing replaces these functions.
- I came here to say exactly the same. My Day Tomorrow would be a perfect feature.
Perhaps they have accomodated this request a different way. I noticed that now, tasks with a future due date show up in My Day automatically. Therefore if you want a task to show up "tomorrow", just update the due date for tomorrow and it will show up in My Day.
I'd say it is not the same as being able to add something to My "Tomorrow" Day, but it is a step.
RyanW- You are right. This seems to be a recent change. It did not work like that before.
gtuckerkellogg if this satisfies, maybe mark it as answer...and MS should update the wishlist... it would make several people happy.- No, it is not the solution. AND, almost worse, it only works on iOS platform. So if you look on your phone you see a different Today list then if you look in the web. Maybe this is just slow to rollout, but it should fully roll out to all platforms to not have this inconsistent behavior.
But automatically adding things with a Due Date is not the same as a Tomorrow List. (or for the Today List not to be wiped clean every day)
- How is this still not a feature? On the way home, my mind is racing and I instead of being able to write it down and starting the day confident. I end up with random notes, mails to self and other nonsense.
- Very good idea!!!
Yes, this would be a nice feature!
I fixed it for now with Microsoft Power Automate (web-version) in four easy steps:
1. A trigger for new ToDos in my list "Tomorrow"
2. Get a future time (now+24h) to get date of tomorrow
3. Select the current ToDo
4. Update the selected ToDo-task with due date
This make all new ToDos added in list "Tomorrow" automaticly (in a minute or two) get the date of the next day, and the move to ToDay the next day.
In Swedish the 4 steps looks like this (listname in swedish is "I morgon"):ehrenberg155 Thankyou
I will try to find a way to make it work for me. I will see if I can get the flow to work with planner tasks also.It is sad that still no word from MS of this request. If only we could forward plan like we could with the old SP Task Lists. If Only we could have some time metrics.... it would reduce a lot of stress about the globe.
- YES! Please!
- Yes please!
