In this popular program on “getting the most from your Outlook” for MS Outlook users, Randy Dean, author of the former Amazon e-mail bestseller, Taming the E-mail Beast, shows how to expand your capabilities with the market-leading Microsoft Outlook e-mail and professional organization software. He can cover either the Classic Outlook version (formerly Local Client) that is still being used by many organizations, or the New/Web Outlook version (or both if you have a mix of users!) He also now briefly covers options in To Do and Planner for those also now using those powerful 365 programs as part of their project/task management mix.
The speaker delves into Outlook-specific strategies for better higher-level AND day-to-day time/project/people/task management: setting bigger picture goals and building annual plans, managing multiple projects & tasks; maintaining “traction” when dealing with tasks and interruptions; clearing the clutter in your mind for better focus; keeping staff on task; tracking “who owes you what” and getting that information on time (including task delegation options); and better managing your calendar and contacts for better time and relationship management.
The speaker's goal is to help stressed-out performers learn several new and immediately useful Outlook strategies for finding a few minutes on e-mails, tasks, activities, and actions you are already doing, leading to at least an extra hour of productivity every day. Get more from all five of the key Outlook functions: Calendar, Contacts, Tasks (To Do), E-mail, and Notes (or OneNote); for greater productivity, sanity, efficiency, and work-life balance.
