Questions & Answers about Quant à moi, je distribue une tâche à chacun.

Why do we use moi instead of je after quant à?
Quant à is a prepositional phrase, and in French, prepositions are always followed by stress pronouns (like moi, toi, lui, elle). You cannot say quant à je.
If quant à and en ce qui concerne mean the same thing, can I say en ce qui concerne moi here?
Not exactly. While they are often interchangeable, if you want to use en ce qui concerne for yourself, you must say en ce qui me concerne. Saying en ce qui concerne moi sounds unnatural. Quant à moi is perfectly standard and often preferred for being shorter.
Does the accent on tâche matter, or is it just a spelling detail?
It matters a lot because it changes the word's meaning. Une tâche (with the circumflex accent) means 'a task' or 'a chore'. If you write une tache (without the accent), it means 'a stain' or 'a mark'.
Why do we need the preposition à before chacun?
Because of the verb distribuer. In French, you distribute something to someone, which is phrased as distribuer quelque chose à quelqu'un. Since chacun means 'each one' or 'everyone', it needs the à to show who is receiving the tasks.
