In this short post I will explain how I deal with emails that generate a next action.<br />When I get an email that requires an action I flag it for follow up in Outlook. I use the ability to set up virtual search folders in Outlook 2003 to keep my flagged emails grouped by client or porject. I then use the send to OneNote function to send a copy of the email to OneNote. I have set the default target location for these emails to my Today section rather than my unfiled notes section. This will then open up a copy of the email in OneNote - from where i can tag it to be processed. I can the process this as I would any other item I collected that day - usually tagging it as a project and adding any next actions to the OneNote item.<br />Once any actions are completed and the project finished I can switch back to Outlook and find the item quickly, flag it as done and file it away.Robhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10705936779091146429noreply@blogger.com
