LeanMail Plan is for any Microsoft Outlook user that wants to ensure that mails are never forgotten or answered too late, and who want a clear overview of what needs to be done and when mails need to be answered.
The problem is that it is very time-consuming (re-wording subject lines to task subjects, adding deadlines and priority) and when the pressure is on, the chances of you doing this consistently are significantly lowered.
There is also confusion due to the fact that you either have a copy of the task in your inbox (the original mail) or you’ve deleted or filed away the original mail (do you remember which?) which makes it difficult to respond to the thread.
Dragging and dropping to Calendar works too until the day that you forget to move some items that you didn’t get to. Since Outlook won’t move undone items forward automatically, you find yourself in embarrassing situations.
Taking notes on paper or even digitally works as well. The paper method, however, doesn’t allow for back-ups, is extremely difficult to keep up with if you receive more than ten mails per day, and must be re-written very often since you can not automatically adjust the items as time goes on.
While a spreadsheet might be a better alternative, going back and forth between Outlook and Excel as well as constant cutting and pasting in order to keep items in order can drive even the most patient people crazy.
If you want to see a mail on January 28 you have to go through a minimum of four steps – and then you are stuck snoozing alarms constantly. Finally, you miss actioning the mail because it was one of the 47 that you kept snoozing.
The all time favorite is “on the fly” or by the seat of your pants planning. This non-system or anti-system approach assures you that you will miss important mails even if you are very proud of your memory.
