Declutter your inbox
When we are getting emails through to the computer every single day it can become a little overwhelming and this can make your days long when you have to sift through tonnes of different messages from colleagues and companies and marketing campaigns. However office has a feature called Clutter where you will be able to declutter your main inbox by placing marketing emails and ones viewed as not essential into a separate inbox. Simply use Settings > Options > Mail > Automatic processing > Clutter then select Separate items identified as Clutter.
Ignore group emails
Group emails can be annoying when you aren’t an active part of the group conversation. This is why outlook has a handy way of hiding these emails from you so that you don’t have to see them right away. You simply select ignore message and the chat will continue without you having to see every little thing which is sent.
Work offline
When working outside of the office you might not always have a stable connection to the internet and this can make things a little harder for you to work effectively. This is why office allows you to work offline and this means that you will never risk dipping in and out of service and losing all of your work. It is a good idea for you to do this whenever you want to head out for meetings and you will be able to still work effectively.
Use Outlook plugins
Outlook has the option for you to add plugins to make it more efficient. There are actually lots of great plugins which you can use for outlook and there are even ones such as PayPal which you can use if you wanted to send payments online between you and a friend.
Tell them what to do
Did you know that you can tell your applications what to do? No? Well this is a great tool for making your work more productive. When sifting through menus and options you might start to think about how boring it is, and you would be right. It is a great idea for you to use Alt + Q when opening an application and you can search for the option you need right away. It saves time and makes life easier.
With these Office 365 tips you’ll have no issues making your working day much more productive and simple today.
