* Turn a message into an appointment or task.

What's quickest way to deal with an email inviting you to a meeting or event?

Drag message onto your Calendar and a new appointment will be created. The entire message will appear in details section - all you need to do is edit subject line, location, date and time! Send an RSVP if necessary, and now you can delete email!

Not sure if you're going to attend? Set "Show time as" to "Tentative" and appointment will display with a dashed border rather than a solid one. In this case you should also drag message onto your Task Pad and a new task will be created. Edit subject line to be a reminder to register for event, and set due date early enough that you won't miss out if you decide to go.

* Print pages for your paper planner.

If you like idea of using Outlook calendar, but are more comfortable using a paper planner, Outlook allows you to print pages in daily, weekly or monthly layouts, formatted to fit a variety of commercial planners. Print whole year, or just today's schedule!

* It's not just about work.

There are many websites that allow you to download schedules right into your Outlook calendar, including sports teams and TV stations, among many others. You'll never have to miss your favorite team or show, and just think of time you'll save!
