We've got answers
How can I increase my billable hours by managing my email better?
Streamlining your inbox can save you hours each week. By using Microsoft Outlook’s categorisation, flagging, and quick steps, you can easily prioritise emails, avoid distractions, and allocate more time to your core tasks. This focus on efficiency can directly boost your billable hours.
What are some quick steps I can take to organise my inbox in Outlook?
Start by setting up folders for different client projects or tasks. Use rules to automatically sort incoming messages and avoid clutter. Set up categories for prioritising emails and use the search function to find what you need instantly. A well-organised inbox means less time spent looking for things!
How can I use Outlook to reduce distractions and stay focused on high-priority tasks?
Leverage Outlook’s "Do Not Disturb" mode or set working hours to avoid interruptions. Use the Focused Inbox feature to filter out low-priority messages and only focus on what needs your immediate attention. This helps you stay focused on high-value tasks.
Can I automate email responses to free up time for more important work?
Yes! Outlook offers automated replies, and you can use Quick Parts or templates to respond to recurring email questions or requests. By creating a few standard responses, you’ll save time and ensure you never miss a follow-up while you focus on more pressing tasks.
How can I use Outlook’s calendar and task features to stay productive and organised?
Outlook’s calendar and task features work seamlessly together. You can schedule time to review and manage your inbox, set deadlines for follow-ups, and add action items from emails directly to your to-do list. This helps you stay on top of tasks without feeling overwhelmed by the volume of emails.
