Description
Program Overview
There are three key strategies needed to get control of email;
- WHEN – you must get control of when you give your attention to this aspect of your work
- WHAT – you need a consistent and effective method or system for processing email
- WHERE – you want to be able to file and retrieve email easily and quickly
This program looks at a whole new approach to managing your email that shifts your working focus from being inbox-based, interruption-driven and reactive to one that is calendar-based, plan-driven and proactive. You’ll learn how to manage email in a structured, rather than unstructured, way; how to address email with full rather than partial attention; how to single-task rather than multi-task; how to be proactive rather than reactive to email.
The first step to this program is to complete Triage Your Inbox, which is now a separate program to the rest of Revolutionise Your Inbox.

File & Folder Management (90 mins)
This workshop covers the WHERE strategy and shows how to set up an email folder structure that allows you to quickly file and retrieve email. These days most email users have either developed a complex structure of email folders and sub folders (and sub, sub folders) that has been increasingly laborious to manage or they’ve given up on that and now leave everything in the inbox. In this workshop, you’ll learn how to combine the best of both worlds so that you’re able to automate your filing and harness the power of Outlook’s Advanced Find to retrieve email again quickly when you need it. It’s like ‘google’ for your email.
The WHERE Strategy
- A quick way to reduce mailbox size
- The principle of separating complete from incomplete
- 4 ways to simplify your email folder structure
- The benefits of using a single email folder for everything
- How to use Outlook colours and categories instead of folders
- Ways to harness the hidden power of Outlook’s Advanced Find (ie: Search)
What you learn at this workshop will radically simplify and speed up the way you file and find email, saving you 23 minutes per day (that’s 11 days per year), and reducing the frustration and angst you’ve so often experienced in the past when trying to find an old email.
