Learning On the Job
It’s been a while since there was a lunch and learn at MHRI,
but they’ve made a comeback! Our first forays into this event were on Excel
and SharePoint,
and our most recent was on Outlook.
"Optimizing your Outlook" with Kelly Rosendall was
attended by a packed house at University Town Center and more than 40 associates
via WebEx. Kelly walked associates through some steps that they can take to
simplify their email process and work their way to a clean inbox.
You can download her flyer with the steps to complete
several different aspects of Outlook optimization here.
There are also specific instructions available for archiving calendar events, if you frequently find that you are running out of space in your email. These are from Clark Bean, our Director of Information Technology.
She also covered some basics on using the Office Communicator
that is installed on all MedStar computers, with some great ideas for collaboration.
Thank you Kelly, for sharing your experience with us! If
anyone has an idea for a future Lunch and Learn (or would like to share their
expertise), please contact Michelle.L.Laubach@medstar.net.
Kelly's presentation helped me, a chronic inbox hoarder (defined by an average inbox balance of 1,000 or more) to spend a few hours on the weekend cleaning out my inbox, assigning myself tasks, and getting to Zero! I am almost two weeks in and I am able to say I feel less stress each day when I log in and only see a handful of e-mails to sift through. Thanks Kelly! I never believed it could be done :)
