Outlook: Color Code Your Life

I had the pleasure of meeting with one of the coolest attorneys I know today. He recently relocated right here to Orlando and is in the process of opening a small office. He has a shiny new laptop - and not to mention a really hot assistant named Bella! - so I was throwing some tips around when one of them sparked this reaction "What!? You gotta tell people about this! It'll change lives!" Hehehe...I got a kick out of that and certainly do hope that it does   SOMETHING for you even if it doesn't change your life dramatically. We were poking around in Glen's Outlook calendar when I noticed that it looked a bit dull, it had no color. I'm a visualist so I've set up my calendar to take advantage of Outlooks color coding system. Glen's calendar, on the other hand, totally bored me. I commented on it and he said that the categories Outlook offers aren't useful for him; so I showed him how he can rename the category colors to suit his life and practice. First, in case you don't know, when you create an  appointment, you can assign it a color (called a Label in Outlook). It's very easy to customize the Label list. You can either go to Edit > Label > Edit Labels (not kidding) or you can look for the icon on your toolbar that looks like a little Rubik's Cube and click on it. Edit and save. Let me know if your QOL has improved.
