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.

 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.

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.
Everything I hoped it would be...and more March 19, 2010
Antone M. Goyak (Wisconsin, USA)
What I appreciate about Michael Linenberger's approach is that it is simplistic, yet very powerful. I felt like my workday was not as effective and productive as it could have been - mainly because of the way I approached the planning and tasks that came with each new day. What excites me about this process is that you do not have to use everything in the text to be effective - it is not an all-or-nothing venture. I have utilized a few key aspects and have seen immediate results. I have learned how to competently organize my day, all while staying current with emails and tasks. Michael's thought process and approach to tasks and emails is getting the job done for me. Along with the crucial basics, I am now learning some of the finer aspects of workday management in later chapters so that my thinking is getting transformed along with my actions. I feel like my day is not disjointed anymore and that I am able to tackle what is most important and not let the menial tasks fill my day. What I received for the price of the book has been remarkable. Kudos to Michael for a text that is well-written, fully illustrated, and easy to read.
