Looking at a free web page program webs.com and making some pages on our different areas of communicating electronically that we have looked at. This is reasonably intuitive and offers the addition of buttons backgrounds you tube and other URL inclusions.

Microsoft outlook has a lot going for it:

§  easy to use spam filters to sort out the junk

§  virtual folders,

§  fast message searching,

§  flagging,

§  grouping  RSS feed reader turns up news items as emails automatically.

§  Social networking, does deliver another kind of news in often helpful a manner. Once set up to work with the networks you're using.

§  Outlook 2010 goes to great lengths protecting your privacy and security. Outlook supports S/MIME message encryption, lets you display all mail in super-secure plain text and even sports a custom, more secure (albeit a tad clumsy), HTML message viewer.

§  Email editing works well with all the comfort you know from Word.

§  Comes with built in calendar, tasks and a comprehensive contacts list

 

Some of the problems are:

§  It's a pity you can't train the junk mail filters  

§  Outlook also offers no way to apply categories to messages in IMAP accounts

§  Outlook is probably as well known as a target for viruses as it as a personal assistant.

§  Flexible message templates are not included.

§  Tasks only come with date and not finish time thus limiting their usefulness

Had a look at time management today. this included 168 hr week in the desk
We also looked at a time management quadrant looking at important, unimportant, urgent and non-urgent tasks for our week. not sure what to think of this. I found it hard to classify tasks. Here is my quadrant.

Time Management Quadrant

	Urgent	Non-urgent
