Super helpful. I don't understand you send a lot of stuff to archive. I don't really understand what archive is or how to utilize it. Why not just delete it?

Hi Todd... I think I noticed you did not even mention Outlook tasks... I struggle reconciling Outlook Tasks.. with the newcomer "To Do" App... Seem confusing and redundant. Seems functionality overload. Anyway would be good to get your thoughts, thanks.

Outlook tasks syncronize with tasks in Microsoft To Do. I don't use Outlook tasks. Too messy! Flagged emails also go to To Do with a link to the original email...

Perhaps you should do a video on how all different MS Office products can interact with each other. Since I am paying for MS Office, I am analyzing if switching from Gmail to Outlook, Notion to Excel (for databases related stuff), and Evernote to Onenote would be worth it. Perhaps if they all play well together and make everything easier and faster, to retrieve data and also collaborate easily.

Love this Todd, I was using categories on the web app but realized categories did not exist in the mobile app. I will tweak and use this method. Is there a way to move or flag an email to a specific list ie WAITING, to save a few steps? Too bad quick steps in the desktop app does not support more depth to todo.

Thanks for this great content, I never considered to use the web outlook to read the mails. IMicrosoft is changing things and adding features at a pace I almost cant follow and I am very tech interested....You forgot to tell us about why you suggest to use the web version to read and process and the client to send. Maybe the secret will be lifted in the next video? Regarding GTD I think it is great and using this since at least 10 years. I wish I had known this system before. However I tried all types of tools and technologies to implement it and have lost track a bit of my own system. I am looking forward to see more content about this topic.

Great to see a more work oriented approach to email productivity! Thanks for the insights. How would you manage the link to email from a task in To Do if the original email message is archived or moved to a different folder? Doesn’t it break the link, thus preventing achieving inbox zero for those emails that are converted into tasks and you don’t need to see in your inbox? Thanks

Only thing I’m not sure about is why archive things that you won’t take action on. Like the LinkedIn notification…shouldn’t that just be deleted rather than archived? Otherwise you never actually delete anything

Hey Todd, I found your video very compelling that I may try it out for myself. What I would like clarification on was in relation to Part 1, you mention using Outlook web for reading and responding but never touched on why using the client for sending (unless I missed that)? Can you explain please?

I like using the web version because it can be saved as a PWA -- a progressive web application -- my sense is that Microsoft is building more functionality into the PWA than the standalone version of Outlook. Does that help?

@@Dave-FIREd in my mind, there are some things that work better with the local app like sending a OneNote page as an email or capturing contact info by dragging an email onto the contact icon.
