I always enjoy reading books on topics that I think I know a lot about. This is because I have learned that regardless of the expertise level of a book, I always manage to learn a few new things or get reminded of things I once knew and had since forgotten.
This book fell directly in line with the above thinking and came at an opportune time as well. Recently I had become dissatisfied with my current task management system and was thinking of returning to an Outlook based system again.
Most of us need more from an organizational system then just tasks with a subject and due date, often extra fields for classification and grouping are required. And with those fields comes the need to clearly view and report upon open items.
Outlook is fully capable of meeting all of these needs via extending objects with custom fields and the creation of custom views. This book explains exactly how to perform these tasks in easy to follow examples across the different versions of Outlook.
The book is a very easy read that wastes few words in demonstrating how to maximize time management with Outlook.
Whether you are an Outlook veteran like myself, or a relatively new user, you will learn valuable lessons from this book.

A bit dated, but learned few things I didn't know and re-discovered old tricks that I thought had been lost through version changes. Touches on a few older time management methods that actually work better than some new ones!
