Are you like me and spend all day in Microsoft Outlook, but know you are NOT using it to its full potential? I recently had a meeting with a co-worker, and he showed me his Outlook inbox. I immediately said to him, “Teach me how to get my inbox to look like yours!” If you are looking for  Outlook tips, shortcuts, search functions, and organization features, our Outlook Timesaving Tips series is just what you need! 

Having a full inbox doesn’t mean you are busy, just like having a lot of papers on your desk translates to being organized. If you use my methods of keeping your Outlook inbox organized, I guarantee you find the daily efficiency you are looking for. -John Roth

Create Rules to organize your inbox

Rules are a way to automate actions in Outlook that you would typically have to do manually. Rules are actions that are taken if a message meets predetermined criteria. If you receive a lot of invoices from various vendors or contacts, let Outlook handle the sorting process by creating a rule to send those emails to their designated folders automatically. Learn how to set up Rules in Part-2 at the 2:23 mark.
