Tip Tuesday - Outlook categories

Are you looking to start September in a more organised way? Did you know that the categories in Outlook are the same in Calendar and your Mail view? - What does this mean, well...

It means that you use categories across both parts of Outlook to visually see where your time is going. For example if you are a business owner, you could have one colour for client work, one for business management, and another for suppliers. By using the categories both in your emails and on your calendar you'll be able to quickly get a visual on where you are spending the most time, helping you to make sure that you are prioritising your time accordingly and therefore helping yourself achieve your goals.

To set categories up, go to the top tool bar and select categorise to get started. Or right click on an email or calendar entry, select categorise, and select edit categories to get the full menu.

Happy organising!
