I rely a lot on the Outlook calendar page, with the 'Tasks' bar showing (setting: "Daily Task List" > "Normal"). I create tasks on the day I plan to do them and move them around when I need to adjust my planning.
But I run into a silly problem: I often need to move tasks from Friday into the next week. But with the "Work Week" calendar view (showing Monday-Friday), I can't see the next Monday so I can't drag my task there.
Question:
How can I easily drag a task into the next week? Is there a shortcut to toggle to the next week?
I tried holding the dragged item at the edge of the calendar, but that doesn't trigger a week change either.
This is with Outlook as part of a Office 2021 install, version 2108 (build 14334.20440).
What I tried:
One workaround I found is to right-click on the task and click "Follow Up" > "Next Week". Small caveat: this is with respect to the current week, so moving future tasks further into the future can get confusing. And they get placed on the next Friday, so I typically need to adjust it again anyway.
It sounds like switching to a month view would let me drag tasks around, but in the month view the tasks list disappears.
Though switching to the 'Next 7 days' is helpful, then I can drag my tasks across the weekend.
