So the more you take away, the more restful it gives. Wanting or having to have an empty inbox can be stressful and it doesn't have to be. You have less control over crowds, but habits all the more. After you have read emails, you can delete them or move them to one of the 9 folders. You don't have to do the task right away. What you do is filter relevant information from the Microsoft mail in order to process it. As follows: Organize contacts If you receive e-mails from new colleagues or new clients, put the contact details immediately in your Outlook Contacts and in your mobile phone. So: Name, company name, telephone number and e-mail address.
Often I just paste the email signature into the annotation field. Enter name and save the record. That way you always have everyone with you. Organize calendar You can indicate one or two priorities for each working day in your agenda. This is how you job function email list structure the week. If you do not work between 06:00 and 08:00, you can place two 'half an hour' appointments in that time interval. Purely for yourself. They are reminders that catch the eye as soon as you view the Agenda. It focuses your work week when priorities are spread out over the week. You leave the daily schedule between 09:00 and 17:00 empty, because you only put the 'real appointments' and tasks there.
If you are scheduling a meeting, block for 30 minutes both before and after each meeting. This is for preparations, breaks and for actions after the consultation. You can also put notes in these 30-minute blocks, such as the talking points. You have probably shared your Outlook Calendar with others. They can then view all your appointments. But know that you can also protect Microsoft Outlook appointments. Go to 'Personal' via the ribbon or menu and choose 'shield appointment'.
