Often they need help with daily operational procedures and learning how to make the most of their time. - organize your email in color! I have a visual personality so sorting by color organizes me quicker and without much thought involved on my part so it works for me. If you use Outlook or even Outlook Express, use color to organize your email. Maybe it will for you too! This way I can easily scan priority email every morning.

I have all my clients email headers in red, my personal email from friends in green, family gets blue, e - lists get purple and the vendor email is brown. - it also makes the spam stick out since i leave this black and can scan through it easier to click and delete. The first thing you need to do is to select a message from the person you want all messages color highlighted. So how do I color my headers in my email box? Next you' re looking for the Organize button located on the Standard toolbar. (You can also find Organize in the Tools menu) . On the left you should find the" Using Colors" option. The Organize feature will open at the top of your mailbox.

Click it. - by default it is trying to color messages" from" someone and the senders name from the highlighted message is already filled in, so. all you have to do is to pick a color from the drop down list at the end. The statement in this feature is simple enough. Click the Apply Color button and never overlook an email from that person again. Don' t keep your e - mail box open and check constantly throughout the day. Another tip: Get into the habit of scheduling a certain time of day to read your e - mails.

When you do, your Outlook owns you. - a simple just send a quick e - mail can turn into valuable work time being wasted. You will find you will accomplish so much more when you do this.
