Email is a great servant, but very a poor master. Many people basically use their Inbox as their To Do List and this ultimately results in poor email productivity. They will open an email, read it and then mark it as unread in order to come back to it later. They are then forced to constantly scan their Inbox looking for unread emails that they have not yet responded to. Some people will even forward old emails to themselves in order to bring emails back to the top of their Inbox! Clearly this double handling of emails wastes a lot of time and is not very reliable!

In this program, you will learn to use many of the little-known the features of Microsoft Outlook that can save you valuable time and dramatically boost your productivity with email.

Client Feedback

Hi Geoff. Firstly thank you for the training! It has changed my outlook life! Since the training I have been using outlook how you suggested (changing the visuals, using to do lists, using the 4D’s approach). I have noticed I am definitely more organised and able to remember to follow up things more easily. My inbox is no longer overwhelming and checking it is not a daunting task. I have also noticed I am spending less time in my inbox and more time doing work which has improved my productivity. Karmen – Planning Enforcement, Local Government Melbourne.
