- Well thought out and effective approach
I'd been tinkering with Outlook for a while trying to use it to manage my email and scheduling, but it just seemed too complicated.Mr. Linenberger presents a well thought out, efficient and effective method for using Outlook that I easily adapted to my own needs.
The day I first started reading the book I set about cleaning out the 2000+ emails in my inbox, and after a day and a half my inbox was empty.More importantly, I have been able to maintain an empty inbox each day for the past three ... Read More

Rating: - Good System for Handling Large Volumes of E-Mail
The system covered in this book works well, in my experience, for handling large volumes of e-mail.One of the central premises of this system involves transforming e-mails into tasks.This approach is action-oriented and keeps one focused on execution and deliverables.
A number of Chapters in this book may not be applicable for all users (e.g. the Chapter on "Topic-Based E-Mail Filing"), but the book is worth reading.
I have found the system covered in this book to work only if ... Read More
