Focus on Your Priorities

This Have you arrived at work, opened your inbox and the start of your day has been influenced by what lurks in amongst those emails? The problem is you probably already had some other priorities that slipped because you opened your inbox. By "Working Smart" you open to your Calendar. You can more effectively focus on your priorities and make better decisions when you go to their inbox. Here's how:

Outlook Users

1. Click on Tools, Options.
2. Click on the Other tab
3. Click Advanced Options.
4. In the Start up in this Folder window select Calendar.
5. Click OK to save and click OK on the Options screen.

Later versions of Outlook don't necessarily display the TaskPad.
To display this in Outlook 2003:

  • Click View
  • Click Task Pad

To display in Outlook 2007

  • Click View, Daily Task List
  • Select Arrange By, By Start Date

Lotus Notes Users

You can create your own Welcome Page that brings together information that is important to you from Notes To create a new Welcome page, do one of the following:

  • From the Lotus Notes setup page, click Click here to create a new Welcome Page.
  • From the current Welcome Page, click the top border of the Welcome Page that says Click here for more Welcome Page options,
  • Then click the Create a new Welcome Page button.
  • Use the Welcome Page wizard to set up your Welcome Page.
  • Ensure it includes your Calendar and your To Dos.

GroupWise Users

  • GroupWise 7 and 8 users now have the Home View to help focus on priorities.
  • Unfortunately earlier versions open to the Mailbox. At Priority Management, we recommend upon opening GroupWise go straight to the Calendar where the Calendar, Tasks and Notes are displayed.
