Im a senior guy in my office, and am very well versed with MS tools. However, Leila is just AMAZING with her tips. Every video of hers deserves a slow clap.
I colour code messages from my CEO and a separate colour from my line manager. These messages stand out from the crowd and dealt with first so really recommend it. I also showed staff how to add national holidays to their calendars - a real game changer as you only need to select once and no endless rearranging meetings booked on bank holidays. Love Leila’s presentation style - I have learnt so much in nice easy steps; thanks Leila - can’t wait to try these tips I will definitely try the sports calendar for the World Cup.
Leila, you are always teaching me something new. Thanks for the great tips. I use the Quick Steps to help process email quickly. Each Quick Step is assigned a shortcut with CTRL+SHIFT then numbers 1-9 after. 1-Archive, 2-Action (sends to a folder named Action), 3-Read Later, etc. I even have a couple of them set up to forward repetitive emails that need action to my team with a pre-written message that I adjust slightly based on the situation. I also use rules to automatically process some emails to other folders. For instance, I have a CC folder and all emails with my name in the CC automatically go to this folder. I process my inbox down to zero 3-4 times/day. I process the CC folder once per day.
gods, I’ve been using the ms office suite for years and still every time I watch your videos there is always something new to learn from them. you’re my go to channel on ms office content !
Don't clean up your folder. Rather enable the 'conversation' feature. All mails on the same chain will be grouped and indented depending on how many branches the convo is making. Much easier and using it for years!
Hello, besides you preferring the conversation feature, do you have a reason as why the clean up may be bad? Could you please let me know reasons specifically against cleanup? I'm working with projects and invoicing, so many of my emails have the subject like XYZ-0001 invoice approval, or invoice request. I'm not sure how outlook handles emails with same subject in different months, so I haven't yet dared to clean up. I'm also a bit concerned about the conversation feature of 'branches' and ' indentures' as it may be confusing. Thank you in advance if you reply.:)
Everything Leila teaches is so incredibly helpful. I wish I had discovered these tips years ago, it'd have made my working practices so much more efficient. Thank you Leila!
I started work at 5am this morning to put all these tips into action. Small things make a big difference. Thank you. Favourite tip, is the first. Ipswich Town FC fixture list added to my calendar.
Colour coding is fabulous, but for some reason, those that I’ve set up using Conditional Formatting in the Desktop app calendar show up only in colour on the Desktop app calendar, but not in the chosen colours on my iPhone. Have you experienced that, too? PS. Your examples are so practical and easy to follow. Your efforts are so appreciated! Thanks!!
from time to time I try to find something new in office to improve productivity and just learn a little bit more. Yesterday I came across your videos! they are great and really easy to understand in the way to link with our current work. Tks a lot! And I still have many videos to watch! :)
I’ve used outlook for YEARS; and still this video was informative and showed me some nice tips that I can heavily use for both work and personal e-mail productivity. Thank you very much!
You are an inspiration as to how much hard work you put in creating these videos at-least for me. Most ladies put pics on Instagram and try to make a living. But women like you establish the right path to use their mind and brain instead. Hats off to you and thanks for enlightening us and making our lives easy through your videos.
Thanks for the tips! Number 9 would be by far the best for me, BUT how does it handles attachments on prior mails? Does it delete them? I guess it does. Having an option to not delete the mails that include attachments would be ideal!
I like adding new, free text column, where I can make notes/short description - I am finding it useful if I have responded to a user and I know it will take a long time for the user to come back with required additional information - it is a good reminder and also very useful in shared inboxes to let other members of the team know the current status of a specific request.
My biggest find? Drag emails on to the calendar tab to create a meeting from the email. If someone sends an email with lots of info and says we need a meeting take the email and drag it it down to the calendar icon. Outlook will do several things automatically. It will create a new calendar appointment with the email copied into the meeting invite. It will also keep the subject line for the meeting. Then you can select a time and add some people and voila!
Fabulous tips Lelia! I've had you "saved" so I can take the time to listen and learn. I loved the Drag & Drop from Outlook to Teams! Thank you again for putting these together.
Thank you Leila. I get a triple advantage looking your videos: 1. for the very interesting tricks and tips, 2. because I learn english (I'm italian) and 3. (last but not least) because you're awesome. Bye
7 out of these 10 tips are total game changer for me. Hard to figure out which one I like the most. That, I believe is sign of a very useful and well researched video. Keep up the great work.
The tip about having an action required folder is genius. I'm already really heavy user of categories and flags to help stay organized but having emails in the main inbox color coded and flagged for action leaves me with a messier inbox than I would prefer.
Not that it's my favorite for productivity, but being able to link sports and school schedules to my Outlook calendar is absolutely awesome! Thanks for the great video.
Leila, I love your videos. You present material in an easy to follow way and your diction is superb. I spent an hour trying in vain to follow another you tuber who was talking about patches and batches with little distinction.
Hello Leila, Thank you for the video. Do you know if the cleanup feature keeps the attachments? also is there a way to use that feature in archived folders?
Being able to show available time slots in my calendar has been a game changer for sure. Third part apps tend to have issues when using multiple calendars, this works much better.
Thank you. You are a genius. Again, thank you. Not sure which one is my fav just yet, but I will review this video again at my office this week and try a few of them. Cheers!
Wow. This is by far the best got me motivated video I've ever watched, to get my butt in gear in organizing and time management. Thank you so much. I'm actually excited to start my Outlook journey. P.S. cute shirt btw 💜
Hi Leila thank for the time you spent making this helpful videos, by the way what is the model of your laptop? Thank you very much, Alfredo Soto from México.
@Leila Gharani, Thank You very much for sharing your knowledge on various Office 365 programs. I am continuing to explore your demonstrated videos and will highlight key skills to be implemented in my CV and will soon carry the skills to my working life. Overall please memorise @Leila Gharani videos no point in viewing if you don't understand or memorise. Inshallah the Almighty Allah SWT will increase her wealth even more and keep her on good tidings Amen. You're a Star!
If I ever have any specific queries about Microsoft Office you are my go to You Tube Channel. I wondered though if you would consider doing series of videos tailored to a specific role. For example I am a Personal Assistant and unsure of how best to use outlook to maximise it's capabilities in this way.
The cleanup option is great!!! Can't believe I've never used it. Would have made my life so much easier in my last job. Thank you for these great tips! 😊
Hi Leila, I’m new to your channel and I’m getting new tips from your videos. Please keep posting new tips and tricks. From this video I didn’t know about no.6 Schedule shorter Meetings, and I always think why outlook give us minimum 30 minutes times for meeting. Thank you very much for helping people in technology. God Bless you.
Outlook 97 for Office 97 is the best. It was just fantastic, useful for the expensive gsm 14.4 modem connection. Was able to dwload faxes from the fax inbox, just as downloading E-mails. If someone is stuck with older clients, the 1-2 kb crt files can be still imported to other computers or phones.
05:15 How to Show Total Number of Items in an Outlook Folder - That would be kinda useful to me, however when i press right click on the folder my menu looks different, for example i don't have the "properties" option in there, i'm using mac as well, why it would be different?
You have a gift for teaching. I am glad your channel was suggested. Can you go over the new search box located in the title bar in Outlook? Can we customize frequent/saved tasks? Mine doesn’t auto suggest as I type a name.
Great video! One question on cleaning up conversations. If there are attachments in the mails in conversation that are not part of the latest email, when I clean it up, will I lose the attachments?
Hey, this was very Informative, I do have a question how can I change color of today column when I am looking at work week calendar, thank you in advance

On Outlook how can I extract all data from signatures contacts (name, function, phone, company, address...) and put it on a excel ?

How do you do that
@@JillBayno View > choose "Show as Conversations" (it's in Messages tab)
I find Conversation View is vital.
Rule #1 should always be: Get your tools to work FOR you.
Yeah... I used those features for many years
Thank you, Leila. Great tips!
Thank you!
Love that I can add my daughter's HS and college school schedules to the Calendar function! Wow. Thank you, Leila!

My favourite Outlook tool is rules. It is so good to have emails for different projects land in different folders.
True, rules rule 😁
I appreciate you for teaching us how to use MS Office more effectively. Thank you!
The to do Bar and send your calendar are my favorite features you have shared. Thanks!
Thanks for the tips! Number 9 would be by far the best for me, BUT how does it handles attachments on prior mails? Does it delete them? I guess it does. Having an option to not delete the mails that include attachments would be ideal!
I tested that. It will keep the message with the attachment.
@@LeilaGharani That is great! Thanks for checking that!
I was wondering how it would handle stray or orphaned messages. For example, someone replies, but the next person replies to a previous thread.

I'm a Dallas Cowboys fan and now I know how to use Calendar to keep track of all their games. Thanks, Leila.
As usual.. Leila videos are always helping to work it better
Glad you think so!
Watched few of your videos just now. One thing I noted is your presentation style is very soft, simple, and effective 👍
I appreciate that!
The tip about having an action required folder is genius. I'm already really heavy user of categories and flags to help stay organized but having emails in the main inbox color coded and flagged for action leaves me with a messier inbox than I would prefer.
Same. All my colors just leave me so overwhelmed. I love a folder for seriously dire situations
Not that it's my favorite for productivity, but being able to link sports and school schedules to my Outlook calendar is absolutely awesome! Thanks for the great video.
