A quick Outlook tip… When I get an e-mail that I need to follow up on by a specific date, I move it to my calendar. This gives me a few options.

  1. I can schedule the item for a specific date and time and work on it then.
  2. I can schedule the item to get done sometime over a span of days (by scheduling it as a multi-day all-day event, with Show Time as: Free).
  3. I can schedule it for review the day before it is due.
To move an e-mail message to my calendar, I right click on the e-mail and drag it over my calendar button. Then select Move Here as Appointment with Attachment.
