Hi all,

I don't know what the differences between todo-list and calendar.
Can anyone please explain to me?

Thank you in advance.

Pretend you have a paper calendar.
Pretend you have a piece of paper on which you're jotting down tasks and
specifying how important they are and when they need to be done, but they're
all in a list.

They aren't the same in Outlook either. You can use both, both will
"remind" you, but your tasks don't show up in your calendar and your
calendar items don't show up in your tasks.

Sound like they are the same with just few differences. Why don't have just
one with all features?

Thank you.

Because they're two entirely different things, just as your paper calendar
and paper to-do list are. What is it you're looking for?

Not quite the same. One difference is that on a calendar, it's not
practical to have an open-ended job for yourself. In a Task list, it's
perfectly appropriate.
