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
