Good book for getting your time management skills into Outlook (or any other day timer). Good practical tips for some people.

Won't work for those who have hundreds of small tasks to do daily, because you'll be spending more time managing your tasks than you will doing them. However, if you have a reasonable number of tasks (or usually, more than reasonable (about 30 per day)), it works great.

Great take on GTD using MS Office

The author does a good job of mashing together David Allen's GTD methodology with MS Outlook to deliver an organization framework for the modern office. Highly recommended for those drowning in email!

Super helpful and changed the way I work. One of those methods that you have to invest in and live for a while before giving up on it.

A very insightful read on organizing your life with Microsoft Office Outlook. Gave me ideas on what to try in Google Calendar and Mail. Hope Sally will write a translation in Google Calendar as well.
