It's psychologically a lot easier to put off a task than an event.

It also makes things that are seasonal-like cleaning the gutters-feel more urgent.

That shift in focus makes me more likely to stick to the date (which is important when I'm trying to keep my dog healthy or pay the government what I owe them). With a calendar, it's the opposite: you choose the date, then add the task. In a task list, the due date or reminder is secondary: you create the task, then add the date. I'm guessing there's some psychological or economic phenomenon that explains this ( commitment device comes to mind), but here's why putting some tasks on my calendar works for me. Why a calendar is better for specific tasks They have to get done on a specific date, and there's something about using a calendar that makes me more likely to do them. Things like 'Dog flea meds' and 'Pay estimated taxes'-those go on the calendar. Sure, I should get my kid a bedframe so their mattress isn't on the floor until they're a teenager, but does it really matter how soon I do it? I've had 'Buy kid bedframe' on my to-do list for way too long now. And, if I'm being honest, it's mostly for tasks that won't have too many repercussions if they don't get done. In addition to these improvements, Microsoft is exploring Cloud PC integration for the taskbar’s Task View and adding a USB4 hub to the Windows Settings.I do have a personal to-do list (in Google Tasks), but it's for things I need to do soon.

Again, we don’t know when the feature will arrive in Windows 11, but it won’t be included in Moment 3, which is expected to ship in May or June. Thankfully, Microsoft plans to add an optional toggle to settings that will allow users to revert to the classic taskbar grouping experience and disable the feature altogether. Currently, Windows 11 groups apps or app icons by default, making it difficult to find instances of the apps and can be annoying. For example, Microsoft sources informed us the company plans to add the “never combine” icons feature to the taskbar in the fall of 2023. Some of the removed features should arrive in the coming months. The changes weren’t well received – especially as the tech giant removed features like the ability to move the taskbar to the top, left or right side. Microsoft drastically downgraded the taskbar in the original release of Windows 11. Improvements to the taskbar are always a welcome change.
