The only way to add tasks to this list is to assign a reminder or due date to an existing task. Tasks that you create with a reminder or due date will automatically appear in this list. Planned is a Smart List that includes tasks that have a reminder or due date and have not been marked as complete. Important is a Smart List that includes tasks that you've marked as important. You can mark a task as important by right-clicking it and selecting Mark as important, or by selecting the star icon next to it. Suggestions includes tasks that are due today or in the future, are overdue, were previously moved to My Day but not completed, or that might be relevant to start working on. Select Done to close Suggestions and return to My Day.

Select the plus sign (+) next to a task to add it to My Day. To see suggested tasks, go to My Day, then select Suggestions at the top of the page. Suggestions are tasks that aren't completed that you might want to add to My Day. Tasks that appear in My Day are stored in other tasks lists, so they aren't deleted when My Day is cleared. Note: My Day is cleared at midnight every night.
