Whitepaper: Processing e-mail using Outlook 2007

I’ve produced a white paper on processing e-mail using Outlook 2007.

It provides my view on how Outlook can be setup and used to process dozens of e-mails effectively.

David Allen's article (http://www.gtdiq.com/media/pdf/Getting%20Email%20under%20control.pdf) provides the backdrop to managing e-mail with Outlook and also provides suggestions on handling larger volumes.

Stress Free Effectiveness is…

Stress Free Effectiveness is basically this – the ability to focus completely on what you are doing at any given moment, and the knowledge that what you are doing is the most appropriate thing you should be doing at that moment.

The issue for most of us is two fold: firstly it is difficult to completely focus on what you are doing because of interference from others and more importantly your own thoughts; and secondly, confidence you are doing the most appropriate thing at any given moment assumes you know everything you aren’t doing at that moment. The reality is that most of us don’t have a complete inventory of everything we should or could be doing.

The solution is both easier and harder than you may think… here it is…

(1) clear your mind and keep it that way.
(2) get everything you should or could be doing on to lists.
(3) keep those lists up to date and reviewed often enough that you trust the contents to be correct and complete.
