I had to train myself to immediately go to Outlook and enter those tasks in the moment the meeting was over.Īnother key habit I quickly had to work on was setting tasks after verbal discussions with team mates. This is a key habit change some of you may need to work on (I know I did). When I first started using Outlook tasks to manage my tasks often I found myself writing down action items from meetings, then forgetting them as they never made their way into my Outlook task list. Outlooks built in task management area has all the necessary options to get your tracking your tasks,Īt this time I do not use it for assigning other tasks to users, just for myself. Outlook as this feature built in, so why not use it! So often I see people using a text document or a physical notepad (and sticky notes) to manage their task or todo list. To effectively manage my time and make sure I focus on only the important things (but also not forgetting about the little tasks as well) I use a particular set of Outlook features to achieve this. I work well with Outlook and hope that my experiences can help you too! Each person I meet or talk with has a different way of the problem of managing your time and tasks. So one tool does not necessarily fit all users. One thing I have noticed is that task lists, time management, todo lists and prioritizing can all be done in many different ways. In the rest of this blog I will be mentioning 5 ways I use Outlook to manage my tasks and time.
I recently did a review of Office 2013, I would suggest you also give that a read if you are considering upgrading.Īfter working with Crucial for around 4 years now I have come too heavily rely on Outlook to manage communication, time and tasks. Still to this day I often have to remind myself that I do not use the full feature set Outlook has to offer, even with Outlook 2013 being available, I am still playing catch up. Then I started having to attend meetings so I began using it to get reminders about those. During my entire time working in the I.T industry I have always used Microsoft Outlook to manage my calendar (usually with Microsoft Exchange), over this time I have continually used more and more of Outlook’s features. Initially all I used it for was emails and that was about it.
