Total Workday Control Using
Microsoft Outlook, 2nd Edition by
Michael Linenberger
Bridges The Gap Between Lofty Concepts And Mindless Minutiae
Total Workday Control Using Microsoft Outlook is a book for the over-
extended office worker whose workday feels out of control. It shows how to
regain command of an over-committed workday and an overflowing,
unmanaged e-mail in box. It does this by teaching the authors system of
time, task, and e-mail management, and it shows how to implement the
system in Microsoft Outlook.
Personal Review: Total Workday Control Using Microsoft
Outlook, 2nd Edition by Michael Linenberger
Michael Linenberger offers a no-nonsense and immensely practical guide
to managing email, tasks, projects and goals effectively.

I have read and admired the goal setting and time management concepts
of people like Stephen Covey, David Allen, Julie Morgenstern et. al. And I
am addicted (big time) to my Tablet PC and cellphone/PDA (Powered by
Microsoft Outlook). But try as I might (using both self built solutions and
software solutions from Covey and others), there was always a chasm
between the scheduling/communications/planning tools in Outlook and the
big picture, long range and strategic goal setting I needed to be doing. To
be perfectly blunt, Outlook couldn't do it. It just made additional work.
Linenberger has spent years (and now is in his third book) developing and
perfecting an elegantly simple, direct and effective way to use Outlook to
manage emails, to plan out multi-step tasks, to delegate and follow up, to
put ideas out of mind for now without losing them so you can come back
later, and to do it all with a minimum of fuss and bother, without
complicated or esoteric theory, and in a manner that actually REDUCES
rather than adds time to your processes.
It is all laid out in this book with admirable, step-by-step instructions. Or, if
you are lazy, Linenberger has an Outlook add-in software package that will
create the different task and email views in Outlook for you.
Once you're done with the book, you might be tempted to react: "This isn't
rocket science. Any idiot could figure out how to do this." That's the
beauty of the system. Simple, effective. Once you have adopted the
approaches outlined in the book they DO seem so simple and obvious.
But that's hindsight speaking. I, for one, never would have gotten there
without this book.
Highly recommended.
