Using Outlook Calendars to Improve your Productivity

In Calendars, FaceBook, LinkedIn, Office, Outlook, Photography, Productivity, Social Media, Training by Tim Miller

Inspired by a quick Skype for Business presentation I just did with three customers assisting them share their calendars I decided to write this short training tool. Outlook is the primary email management tool for most business people worldwide. It is also an extremely feature rich time management tool with many capabilities that a lot of people have no idea it can do.

  • Out of Office messages (technically not in the calendar) – utilising dates and time to send out of messages to either or both internal and external email recipients.
  • Delegate permissions – sharing your calendar with others in your organisation to see or edit calendar items on your behalf.
  • View multiple calendars – see multiple people’s calendars stacked side by side, on top or even overlaid to see calendars and find joint free time.
  • View and subscribe to external calendars – see others calendars or appointments.
  • Share your calendar externally – free busy time, free busy with subject and location, or all calendar information.
  • Use categories and colours for quick visual calendar – see the image.
  • Plugins (Tools from the Office Store) Find time is possibly the best tool ever – and its free! https://findtime.microsoft.com/
  • Create Skype for Business meeting requests right inside Outlook Calendar items by clicking the Skype icon on the toolbar.
