A task is an entry for any activity that you want to see in your calendar, but that doesn't need to be scheduled for a specific time or involve the whole day. You'll see the Tasks area when you look at the calendar in Day or Week view.
For example, if you have a number of errands that you need to do, enter each errand as a task. When you complete a task, check it off. A completed task will stick to the day on which it's completed, keeping a tidy list of that day's accomplishments at your fingertips. We've shown this in the picture: the completed task has a check mark and a line through it.
You can enter a task with a scheduled start date and due date. If you don't complete a task on its due date, it will automatically move forward and appear on the current day until you reschedule it or check it off.
Tip To quickly reschedule a task, use the Week view and drag a task from one day to another.
