Optimize Your Outlook Habits

OutlookToday begins a new personal experiment.  As I posted on Twitter, I will attempt to only access my Outlook email just three times throughout the day today.

The impetus is an evolution of my reading over the last few weeks and the discovery of “email bankruptcy” on Tim Ferriss’ blog.  If you have 7-10 minutes available, view the related video and read the New York Times article about the subject.

So I will update periodically on my Outlook habits and determine whether or not the decision to reduce its use increases my productivity through the day.  You might want to give the experiment a try as well.
