Product Description
Total Workday Control Using Microsoft Outlook is a book for the over-extended office worker whose workday feels out of control. It shows how to regain command of an over-committed workday and an overflowing, unmanaged e-mail in box. It does this by teaching the author's system of time, task, and e-mail management, and it shows how to implement the system in Microsoft Outlook.

 Interesting and Helpful Concept September 9, 2010
awest
Not only do I love the book, but I bought copies for some of the managers in the companies that I manage, so they could use the same concept. If you get frustrated with feeling like you aren't getting your tasks done on time, this is the book for you. The idea is instead of using a fictional due date that you'd like to get something done, you plan on when you would like to start it. Breaking your tasks into what you want to get done today, what need to be done within a week and what is farther out. After starting this process I can honestly say that I am more productive... and after those pesky interuptions I don't stare at my desk for a half hour trying to get my arms around what I need to do. I just go to my Outlook To Do section and everything is right there! Well worth the money and the best thing is you can get up and running after reading just the first 4 chapters... and chapter 3 is about how to configure your computer. Easy read, easy to maintain!!! LOVE IT!
Practical, useful, must give it a chance July 26, 2010
Erick Van Houtte (Westford, MA USA)
This book is not about finding the magical solution (discipline and being organized are). However, the book does provide very practical tips and tricks to use Outlook tasks to "take control." Give it a chance; try it! You will give up..you then need to come back, and again, and again. Once you've hit rhythm, your world will change. You will often say "I know this." My take is why does no one do it? So, try it. I've purchased a book for my entire team; so far, so good. What counts, is "pick a method and stick to it." This one is worth the extra time investment.
 Gain Control of Tasks Works Great May 31, 2010

Michael Linenberger's approach to customizing the To-Do Bar was ideal for my client who was using Calendar for everything he wanted to accomplish. Thanks, Michael! I particularly like the underline feature; it draws your eyes to the most important tasks each day. I was glad I already knew how to use Tasks and how to customize folder views. It made understanding Linenberger's directions easier.
You may want to check out "111 Ways to Streamline Your Time" with Microsoft Outlook 2007 and 2003. It gives you the most popular time-saving and stress-reducing strategies and techniques valued by executives, professionals and support teams I've coached and trained. Knowing what's in 111 Ways to Streamline Your Time / An Inside View of Outlook makes it easier to digest all that Linenberger recommends and you'll make faster progress in gaining control of your workday.
Useful book April 26, 2010
Abid Saifee (Seattle, USA)
Very useful and practical book. The irony of most of these kinds of books is that if you really need a time management book, you won't actually make the time to read the time management book, much less put the lessons into practice.
Unlike most "get organized" books, this one doesn't require very much time investment (1-2 hours) to start seeing a benefit. You can start by just following the step-by-step instructions to reconfigure Outlook so that the task system works more intuitively than the default settings in Outlook. I've done that, and it's worthwhile.
The "mastery" sections are optional and available when you have time to invest in time management.
 Outlook mastery April 10, 2010
J. Fugate (NEWBERG, OR, US)
This book helps teach you some great tips on how to use Outlook and it's task area more effectively. I learned some great tips on the system. Overall, It is a bit complicated and honestly just easier to keep a task list on paper (I carry a small folio with mine...) Enjoyed the book though - it's a scan read, not a line by line read.
