My Tools @Work
Bookworm | Jan 23 2006
The empty Windows section looked so sad, I thought I'd post something here. Any other Windows users hiding out there? [I can definitely understand the appeal of Macs (some wonderful software out there that's Mac-only, for one), but I've just always used Windows (or, *cough*, DOS) machines.] Outlook for email, calendar, and a little task management
Bonsai desktop (for the bulk of my Next Actions, task, project management)
I'm just doing my best to record everything in one of these two tools -- contact information, tasks, projects, lists, etc. 18 Comments

In Linenberger's book he recommends not using folders in Outlook but instead adding categories to every email and moving it to a Processed Mail folder. this folder he views by category so that an email can appear in multiple places rather than just one folder. Has anybody used this technique and does it work for you? I like the sound of that, and might give it a go. Here, our mailbox is only 50MG in size(!), so regular shifting has to take place. All my mail goes into one folder, similar to yours, but I don't use categories, relying instead on remembering who things are from, or using words I'm assuming will appear in the text, to find them later. Is that book any good then? Any other useful tips for heavy outlook users? » POSTED IN:
