Note: You can use the drop-down menu to change the Where I am condition. By viewing your messages in conversation view, you can easily see which conversations have had the most back-and-forth discussion.

In those cases, you might want to read and respond to only the last message in the conversation. You can also select an entire conversation and act on it. For example, there might be a lengthy series of messages where the last one simply states, “Thanks, that answers my question,” so you can just delete the whole conversation. You can also see messages from other folders when you are in conversation view, which is very helpful when you receive a new message on a lengthy conversation — you can see the whole history, including your replies.

A best practice is to use separate mail accounts for work and personal communications. You should, however, reduce the number of email addresses that you have to deal with. Fortunately, with Outlook, you can view multiple accounts simultaneously. In addition to your work email account Exchange Server , you can add other accounts such as Outlook. Read and unread states in Outlook help by showing you quickly which messages have been read at least once and which have not. Some people try to use the read and unread states to indicate whether a message is new or a reference item.

Inevitably, messages will be reread, and the mental tax of figuring out what you need to do will be paid again. A far more efficient Inbox plan is to go through your messages and decide what to do with each one.

Then it should leave your Inbox — not remain “unread. By having a limited number of folders to look in 1-Reference and 2-Personal , you don’t have to worry about misfiling a message or needing to copy it into multiple folders if it applies to more than one topic or project.

That’s not to say that there isn’t a need for browsing through messages that are all on a particular topic or project. Outlook provides better tools — such as categories and search folders — so you can search effectively.

By having a single folder, you don’t have to think about which folder holds which messages, and you know that everything in this folder is something that you have looked at before and wanted to keep. Having multiple folders means that each time you file a message, you are forced to decide which folder to use. This becomes even more complicated if there is more than one appropriate folder per message.

Since many folders go unused when there are multiple choices, this creates clutter. Although it might seem like a big deal to leave all of your messages in your Inbox, there is a hidden cost you pay every time you look at a message and wonder, “Is this something I have to deal with or is this just here for reference? Your Inbox is a place that other people can manipulate; what you put in your reference folder is strictly up to you. Different archiving rates You should have different folders for different Contact Groups based on topic and frequency of AutoArchiving.

For example, if you are on a carpooling Contact Group, the messages in the Carpool folder should be deleted daily. A Contact Group covering a work-related topic should be archived less frequently, such as annually.

Efficient conversation grouping When you have separate folders for topical Contact Groups, you can see entire conversations grouped together. Should you need to, you can efficiently search within a folder. Messages sent to large distribution lists and to RSS feeds can easily overwhelm your Inbox. Treat these streams of information much as you would a large newspaper — there might be a useful or interesting article, but reading the whole paper would take considerable time.

Let rules help you to read what is most interesting and pertinent to you. Corporate-level messages with important news for example, from the CEO and messages from your IT department about server downtime should not go into a folder. Messages to a Contact Group that only occasionally contain useful or interesting content, regardless of frequency, should have a rule and a folder.

If you subscribe to several RSS Feeds, treat them like another distribution list. If your corporate policy dictates that you have multiple folders for each type of item, follow that policy. As time goes on, you will likely receive more and more messages. Rather, just read the messages that are important for you to read. Rules will help you prioritize important messages and minimize distractions. Two days from now or the last day of the work week, whichever comes first.

With the default settings, on Monday, this is Wednesday; on Tuesday, this is Thursday. This action will delete old tasks and remove the flag from flagged messages and contacts without deleting the items. Delete all of the categories that you don’t plan to use.

The same category set applies to all items, so if you use a category for contacts, keep it. When creating color categories, be thoughtful in your color choices. Over time, you will be able to look at your task list and determine just by color whether the task is presently actionable. For example, if Home is purple, and you are at work, you can’t do any purple tasks. If you have a busy calendar, this might be the only way you can get dedicated time to do your job.

It also helps you to make a commitment to doing work — if you put it on your calendar, you should be committed to doing that work at that time. If someone schedules over your work time, make sure to reschedule your time. Don’t cheat yourself! If you have more than 20 items in your Inbox, process the last week of messages and then select the remaining messages and move them to your 1-Reference folder.

Yes, you can do this, and it will feel great. If you feel overwhelmed by messages, you are probably receiving more than you can possibly handle, and you might need to set up more aggressive rules. Try analyzing where your messages are coming from by arranging your messages by From and then collapse all of the headers.

Are you reading Contact Groups that you don’t need to read? If so, create a rule. If you change your view, don’t forget to change it back! If you are short on time, for example, between meetings, you can read the messages in blue — messages sent directly to you.

Often these messages are waiting on you for the next step and are the most important. For many of us, reading messages is nearly an addiction. Spend 20 minutes in the morning going through your messages, and then turn your attention to doing a daily review of your task list. Then get on with your day! Limiting the time you spend reading messages to once in the morning and once at the end of the day could significantly improve your productivity.

Try it for a full week and see for yourself. Some tasks require more room for planning. For these tasks, use OneNote. For example, if you are planning a project with multiple steps, nested tasks, and so on, OneNote is a more appropriate tool. If you just want to remember a few related tasks, list them in the body of the task. If there are related messages, drag them into the task.

If possible, keep your personal and business tasks in one place. Keeping one list reduces the number of places that you need to look for what needs to be done. Even if you already have only one list, use categories to sort your personal from business tasks and manage your list effectively. Your personal tasks will be stored on your company’s Exchange Server and could be visible to your IT department, so only put appropriate personal tasks on your list.

Keeping tasks in your head doesn’t work. You can stop spending brain power reminding yourself of your tasks “Okay, remember to send John a message about the templates, send John a message about the templates…” and focus on the activity at hand.

You can have easy access to a set of messages on a particular topic for a meeting. As you receive messages on that topic, mark them with the category. When you meet, mark complete on the messages that you have discussed. There are many excellent books and philosophies of time management from the following sources:.
