Turn an Outlook Task Into An Appointment

Do you ever have a task in Outlook that seems to just keep getting put on the back burner? Maybe if you set up an appointment with yourself to complete the task you might have better luck in getting it done. Outlook makes this very easy.

1. Go to the Outlook Tasks List
2. Left click on the task you want to set an appointment for and drag it to the Calendar icon
3. Complete the rest of the appointment information

You now have an appointment to work on that dreaded task. You can use the same process to turn and email into an appointment or task. Just drag and drop the email to the Task or Calendar icon. In fact you can use drag and drop all over the place in Outlook. Very useful!
