Some tips that I personally developed after more than a decade of working in insanely big corporate environments: - Use smart folder called "To me" where i'm in the "To" list. Similar to what Leila has for "CC" emails, but without conditional formatting. - Extensive use of "todo" flags: today, tomorrow, this week. - Similar to what Leila suggested, I have 'blockers' in my schedule for desk work: writing reports, doing research, compiling financials. I mark these appointments as "Personal" and do not respond to any mails during them. - Archiving emails is great, but I went even further: I'm archiving all mails that have attachments and are more than 1 month old. - With the introduction of Teams, I enforced the etiquette of not attaching bulky files to emails, but putting them into specific Teams (or Sharepoint) folders and sharing only links.

@rjbush7955 3 года назад

This is great. I've got used to inbox-zero. I also use defined search folders of key people/companies, instead of proper folders/sub folders, which I agree can get out of hand. I've got into the same practice of; if it can be done in minutes, do it and send to archive. If it can wait a bit or might be interesting to read later, I flag it as follow up and move it to archive. It still shows up in the To Do list when it's due. Some feel happy seeing thousands of unread emails. I can't work like that.

@eklektikTechno 2 года назад

As an IT Professional she is definitely right, i spend the majority of my day filtering through emails.

I 100% agree. This is a good happy medium. Once you develop an email routine it's easier to manage it all instead of having the email inbox open in the background and checking whenever a notification appears.

@nudledoo 3 года назад

Thanks for the tips, I do not use an action folder (only follow up folder) I also add a category/colour to focus on a few emails for action in my inbox. yellow = to do, red - urgent, green = waiting for input from someone else. when i put both colours, for example: 1st green, 2nd yellow, that means:1st waiting for reply, 2nd then I need to take some action after that.

Picked up a couple of great new ways to flag my mail. I really hadn't played with the flagging feature in outlook.. Thanks again for your simple well directed info. To many don't keep on topic and jump around to much.. each feature you talked about you were careful to fully explain that feature before moving on. I can't follow those who try to talk flagging an email while showing how to sort it to a new sub folder and marking it to alert you later. It's the difference in demonstrating what you can do and teaching some else the features so they can figure out how to use them;

The best thing I have done is to enable VBA in outlook. That meant a few reports are created automatically by reading the email and adding information in Excel files. Off course it depends on your work, but that has saved me probably about 1-2 hours a day.

Hello Leila, first of all, thank you so much for these great tips (as always), I learn a lot whith this channel and I really appreaciate the way you show it, this is both very pleasant and easy to understand. 😊 Just to add my personal contribution (sorry if it had already mentionned, I did not read all the comments) : on my side I like to use flags, I find them very handy to use as you can define categories that you can apply simultaneously for emails, meetings and tasks : - 1st, you can keep a certain logic to organize and view your data - 2nd, you can use the flags to create search folders afterwards, so when you put a flag on a email, this one is automatically assigned o the related search folder - 3rd : you can use flags to narrow researches (mails, meetings, tasks) PS : sorry for my bad English 😕

@leybourne 3 года назад

Excellent tips! Thank you, Leila! You drew attention to often ignored simple but important aspects. Notifications, be them for emails, Twitter or anything else, are sometimes a real nuisance!

@danielg.5070 2 года назад

Turning off the notifications is something we should carry FOR LIFE. It up to WE to decide when we are going to check e-mails, messages app and social media. Everytime we leave up for notifications, we lose autonomy. Notifications should be set only for important reminders, not routine new mentions

@StarWarsFreak2111 2 года назад

Later on, when I have set time aside to handle tasks I go to Microsoft To Do and handle the flagged emails there along with other tasks. Outlook combined with Insert and Delete keys and Microsoft To Do work well together!

@jrgarciab Год назад

The 2 most valuable time management lessons I've learned over the last 20+ years: 1) There are many time/life management systems out there--Franklin Covey, Getting Things Done (or GTD), etc. Pick one. You can learn it in one day on RU-vid, for free. 2) Stop being so meticulous with email folders. (I'm not referring to the ones Leila described in this video). Email search has become so good that you can just put ANY read email into the Archive folder. If you ever need to find an old email, the search function will find it in seconds. I promise you, this alone will save you so much time.

Fantastic advice! I’m a business financial consultant who receives a lot of informational and action oriented messages.

Your advice will help me reconsider my rules and organization to simplify things more and make things more manageable.

Hi, I just recently found your channel. As a very basic user of office programs I'm amazed by your skills and all the functionality I had no idéa existed. For managing emails I use flags and a queue-folder with sub-folders. Very similar to your action folders. Some, less important e-mails I just let stay in the inbox. I will try rules.

@Pete.C 2 года назад

Great tips, I am a new subscriber. I actually use a rule and a separate folder for emails where I am in CC and only look at there occasionally. This alone largely reduces the number of emails in my inbox. I use colour coding to mark emails coming from Managers I report to, so I know that is something I need to look at with more importance than others. I work in a large corporate environment, a global IT company with 100K+ people. I have been using the newsletter folder and rule for many-many years now. I will start to promote your videos for my team, we can learn a lot from them.

@titanmanification 3 года назад

The BIGGEST Issues that I have: "Email etiquette:" - Getting emails that require an action from you when you are CC'd. - Getting emails that don't follow a thread - like answering an email that doesn't follow the subject line - TIP - I use conversation view - So I can see the first email in the thread and the responses to that thread - Getting emails with vague subject lines that are big tasks - The screen clip emails that have important information that require research and you are stuck sifting through the whole email looking for the task in screen clips. - I work in an ERP/MRP centric company - That is very task oriented and I can get upwards of 350 emails a day (BTW the record is at 634 emails in one day) where 50% of them are actionable(either by me or my team), 25% are important information to retain for something that will be needed 1-2 months from now and the remaining 25% is other stuff (HR communications, IT Comms. other things that are important but not immediately actionable). So the hardest part of dealing with that is reading to determine what category they fall in when the simple rules are not followed. -TIP use CATEGORIES - This is a great feature but requires a good time setting up but once I had it - timesaver. - I also get emails for tasks from my Boss, their boss, Managers, Directors, VP's and the President of the Company. Requiring Action and they don't always act responsibly with etiquette either. - Also - the dreaded instant messaging software. Nice for quick ask questions but infuriating for asks that are multistep and WHAT A DISTRACTION. So teaching people how to email is big in my book. I enforce the behavior of my team to act responsibly with sending emails. - First thing I always say to them if you want me to action something and you CC me you may not see a response right away. - I teach them to move the names around in the email from To: to CC: based on the person that has to action. No vague requests and above all else - Read and re-read what you are sending. Have some structure to your email. - Don't answer OK to a task oriented email without completing the task (I know you got the email/meeting request I do not need affirmation of that outside of the normal means).

Wow, all great tips! Thank you! Upwards of 350 emails a day is crazy. Hats off to you for staying organized in such an environment.

@cesarprieto395 3 года назад

I think one way to keep it organized is to use the other microsoft apps. For example, Yammer for internal communications only (this would take a lot of comm. emails from your inbox). Planner for specific tasks instead of delegating them via email. Teams for faster communication, etc. A tip that works for me is to categorize the emails as Follow up and Urgent and then have a search folder on my favorites section to concentrate all the categorized emails. I hope any of these can help you with the big load you get daily!

Another idea. Under options, reading pane set your inbox so emails only get marked as read if you open them. This way you can scan through your inbox in the reading pane and move or delete non action emails leaving the action emails as unread, letting you know you need to action the email.

I’m the type of guy that keeps all in inbox. I actually color code CC emails in light gray, so that they do not catch me eye much. Also emails from bosses in red because you need to keep them happy. One tip I did not see and actually is great (for me) is the conversation view where all mails on the same subject are joint together.

All good work places advise that this is how to go about doing it. Better still use one note along side outlook

@@MsWatchdog can you elaborate? Are you able to take notes in Onenote from Outlook?

Stanford did a study showing multitasking doesn't exist. We're like working on a single core processor and we use pre-emptive multitasking. A little of this, then a little of that. Back and forth, back and forth which is why we don't do a good job on either task.

On my previous job, we usually receive hundreds of emails everyday. In order for us to address concerns on a timely manner and based on priority, we set up a Subject Line format that each team members should follow - this will ensure that the rules we setup on our inbox are going to work every time. E.g. If the concern is to rebut an audit finding, the email Subject Line should start with "Reconsideration Request:". When we setup this workaround, callouts and escalations were dramatically reduced as disputes were addressed within our rebuttal timeline which is 48hrs. So this is something that everyone can follow. You not only managed your inbox but as well as your team's. :)

Thanks Leila jan, the conditional formatting tip is really helpful for us! For action folders I use PARA system to organize and instead of folders for actions I use Tags 🏷️ with shortcuts.

@caeciliasaori1355 Год назад

These are fantastic tips! Thank you so much! Particularly love the "Action Folder" and also that I can choose which folder opens up first when I start MS Outlook 😊 Conditional formatting is also very useful.

My biggest problem is how long it takes me to write an email. I want everything to sound perfect and end up rewriting them 20 times and an email that should take 5 minutes takes 2 hours. Such a drain sigh
