Create Recurring Tasks In Outlook

Posted by on Dec 22, 2009 | No Comments

One of my favorite features of Outlook is the Task List. Every Monday morning, I create my task list for the week. I assign a priority to each task as well as due dates and reminders for those tasks that are time sensitive.

Furthermore, I also have a list of recurring tasks. These are all the tasks I need to complete on an ongoing basis, such as monthly reports. By making such tasks recurring, Outlook will remind me each time they come due.

To create a recurring task in Outlook 2007:

  1. Create a new task.
  2. Double click the Task.
  3. Within the Task window, double click the Recurrence button. The Task Recurrence window appears.
  4. Under Recurrence Patter, select Daily, Weekly, Monthly or Yearly.
  5. Select the pattern you want on the right side, such as the specific day of the week on which the task should occur.
  6. Under Range of occurrence, select a start and end date for the task. Alternatively, you can also select the No end date option.
  7. Click OK when you are satisfied with your selection.
  8. Click Save and Close from the Task window.
