Do you see your email, calendar and tasks as a hill you have to climb each day? Outlook, a premier productivity tool, should be working for you, not making you work harder!
Outlook is where most business professionals begin and end their day. In fact, email and calendar invitations are where most important action items stem from. With more calls to action to answer in the same amount of time we had yesterday, managing this influx is crucial to productivity and, in fact, survival in the day-to-day business world.
Most people think they know everything they need to about Outlook. How long has e-mail been around? But, what you don’t know about it is costing you hours of effort and duplicated actions. You may be missing meetings or wondering how so many meetings got crammed into the same time slot! There is so much Outlook has to offer to keep you on track with your tasks, help you know the right things to work on and schedule time effectively. Who doesn’t want more of that?
Think about your daily life in Microsoft Outlook. Do you ever find yourself:
- Reading an e-mail message you could swear you just read two minutes ago?
- Slogging through hundreds of messages just to find the important one from the customer you’re on the phone with RIGHT NOW?
- Struggling to stay out of “e-mail jail” with your systems administrator because you’re keeping too much in your inbox and subfolders?
- Making apologies to meeting hosts who thought you had their meeting confirmed, but you show something else for that time slot?
- Longing to see an empty inbox at the end of the day?
- Copying and pasting from calendars to e-mail and from e-mail to tasks to repurpose Outlook-based information?
- Forgetting to do the fourth step in a repeatable five step process with often received information requests?
