Using Outlook to its Fullest

Using Outlook is a lot simpler than you may realise and it is a very efficient piece of software

that can quickly become an integral part of your day to day life. Outlook can be used for a lot

more than simply receiving emails. You will find that Outlook is able to replace your day planner

as well and can help you to schedule your life with a great deal of ease.

Considered an essential project management software tool, Outlook can really help you to

organise your life. It provides a place to store all your business and personal contacts and can

also send reminders according to your daily calendar or your own personal to do list. The

reminders come in very useful and display on your desktop so that they really cannot be

ignored. All you have to do is to remember to set the reminders.

You can also have the program set the reminders automatically when you enter items onto

your calendar or onto your to do list. Reminders can usually be scheduled, depending on your

choice, an hour before, a day before, etc. and a message will pop up on screen when

appropriate to remind you. The program then gives you the option to postpone the reminder or

to cancel it all together.

When it comes to your to do list, you are able to specify completion dates and even provide

status updates. Once you have completed the task, simply mark it as complete on your list and

you can go forward with your next list. Reminders can be postponed indefinitely although you

may find that means that nothing can really get done in time.

When it comes to emails, Outlook really comes into its own. You can sort emails very quickly

and simply and assign them to different folders. You can even automate this process to a large

extent – set the rules for messages and the program will automatically assign the specified

messages to various folders as specified by yourself. This is one area that really becomes useful

when it comes to project management software.

Overall, there are a number of things that you can do with Outlook. Keep all your contacts safe

and at hand for quick and easy access and make sure that you stay on top of your to do list as

well. Strictly speaking, of course, Outlook is an email program and most people use it only for

this. However, once you are aware of what it is capable of, you will get a lot more use out of it.
