I also learned at a "Working Smarter with Microsoft Outlook" seminar that we should not use e-mails as urgent requests. I had a situation a couple of years ago where I had replied to an e-mail that I had mis-read and that caused a bit of kirfluffle (not sure how spell that). This little tip has been a huge time-saver for me.

I’ve attended numerous seminars in leadership, time management, MS Word, Excel, Outlook, meeting planning, event planning, and disaster recovery planning (Joan Eisendot and her website are fantastic resources) as well as is Tyler Davidson at Meetings Focus magazine/website, and freely shared the knowledge with my peers and anyone who asked.
Expert insights. Personalized for you.
