UITS has finished migrating the last 14 days of email for all UWM users, and is now working on the last 90 days of messages. I’m still missing e-mails and folders-what’s going on? This helps with making quick decisions about which meeting to attend in case of conflicts, and whether I spend the majority of my time with the right client-centric focus.Īnd for anyone who also fills out a time card at the end of the week, this color on the calendar makes that a much faster activity, by having accounted for all my work on the calendar in the first place.After two weeks with Office 365, here are the answers to some commonly-asked questions: More useful color coding in Outlook I am applying: marking internally initiated meetings in a different color then externally/client initiated meetings and calls. I feel organized and much less stressed knowing that I have an approach that helps me be efficient and effective, manage my time well, and lets me keep my promises and commitments. Instead of “snow plowing” my committed work assignment in front of me I have a visual reminder that I need to just stop on red, and get it done. Should I have to move it yet again I am changing the appointment color to yellow (Wednesday at 8:30), and in the cases where I reschedule myself a third time – you guessed it – I am changing the appointment to red (Thursday at 12:00 noon for real).Īt this point when I look at my schedule for the day or the week, I know that something has been moved three times already, and I am at risk of dropping the ball.

Events are often draped around important meetings and conference calls.
