"building blocks".

Flag time-sensitive messages to remind you to follow up, reply, call, and
more.

select Add reminder.

options.
Tips
7) Move Non-critical Emails Into A “To-do”, “Follow Up” & “Someday” Folders
Use these folders to organise messy Inbox & overcome email overload.
• Inbox – Emails that you should answer immediately, either urgent or can be handled quickly (in <= 3 minutes).
• To Do – Non-urgent emails that will require > 3 minutes response. You’ll follow up on these items later, but moving them
immediately keeps your inbox empty while you process the emails.
• Follow Up – Emails that are put on hold. Things like replies you're waiting to get or tasks that you've delegated.
• Someday – Emails don’t require a response, things you’d like read/review one day when you have time.
After processing your email, schedule time on your calendar every day to review and handle the items in your To-Do
folder.
1 2 3
Right-click your
"Inbox" folder, and
select "New Folder."
Title the folder "To Do." Repeat to create a "Follow Up" &
“Someday” subfolders under Inbox folder.
Tips
8) Use Task List Instead of Clogging Your inbox
To make sure that you have a reminder to take care of “To-Do” emails before a deadline.
Create a reminder by adding these emails to Outlook’s task list:
Drag the email and
drop it on Outlook’s
task list icon.
1
Add a due date and set a date and time to receive a
reminder. Save the task.
2
Hover your cursor over the task list icon to see a

Click on the task list icon to open your to-do list and
review the respective tasks.
3
If you set a reminder, the task will pop up
like a meeting reminder at the specified
time.
4
Once the task is
complete, mark it
as such to remove
the task from your
to-do list.
5
Tips

Click Home > Junk email options, then in the new window
that opens you can identify which senders you want to block
as spam.
1
