Manage Your Life with Outlook For Dummies

Managing your life takes more than meditation — it takes a better Outlook!
Technology was supposed to help us manage our lives. Instead, most of us feel we spend our lives managing technology. So this book is not about software; it′s about making the software serve YOU. Restore harmony to your life by controlling your e–mail, tracking your appointments, using custom shortcuts, and managing tasks, all with Outlook.
Take stock — analyze your current work/personal life balance and identify areas where you can be more productive
One size does not fit all — choose and customize the Outlook task–management processes that work for your personal situation
Tame the e–mail monster — use folders, categories, flags, and message rules to keep e–mail manageable
To do or not to do — empower your calendar, taskpad, and contacts to automate your schedule
Journal and take Notes — learn how these under–utilized Outlook functions help document your time and capture important thoughts
