Outlook should allow task entry and display on Calendar

[rjackb]

Each day I have a set of tasks that I would like to accomplish. I would like
to be able to enter these directly onto the Outlook Calendar, have that day
automatically assigned as the due date, and have them displayed on that day
on the Calendar. Each day of the Calendar should reflect what I have to do
that day which includes both task and appointments or meetings and they
should not be separated. It's fine, important even, to have a separate Task
area for long-term tasks with no due date.

See http://www.taskline.biz for a tool that will help you do this.

Thanks for the suggestion but that's not quite what I'm looking for. I don't
want any time-of-day or length of time associated with the tasks, they're
just something I'd like to try to get done sometime that day. I'd like the
tasks to be displayed very similar to all day events except that they would
have a checkbox next to them for marking them completed.

Then you're totally out of luck. Outlook can't do that.
