Do you leave emails in your inbox so that you don’t forget to read and answer them? Do you sometimes write emails to yourself that function as reminders? And why wouldn’t you when so many of your assignments arrive in an email or require you to contact your colleagues?

The problem: If you’re using your inbox as to-do list, it is very likely that your inbox is a mess. 

The solution: A separate task manager.

Using a separate task manager prevents you from always having to go through your emails to decide which task to tackle first, which can increase your productivity significantly. By using an isolated to-do list that is synchronized with your emails, you can restructure your inbox and have the option of prioritizing your to-dos.

Fortunately, there is Wunderlist for Outlook which synchronizes your emails with your personal to-do list directly in Outlook. You can add tasks by email and later find the message the task was based on. Use subtasks for each to-do and categorize them according to their urgency or importance. And why not integrate your team into your current project management? Share your list within your team and delegate or feedback assignments.

Take your Outlook inbox to a whole new level.
