@coffeewithsimon: Most of my work — tasks, requests, and follow-ups — lives in my inbox and IMs. So instead of fighting it, I turned my inbox into a productivity system that manages my to-dos and leverages Microsoft 365 Copilot. In today’s episode of Quiet Productivity at Work, I share the simple workflow I rely on to stay organized and productive at work: • A 2-minute rule to clear quick replies • Forwarding emails to myself so I can rewrite the subject line and add notes for clarity • One “My To-Dos” folder that collects everything in one place • Using Copilot to summarize tasks and help me stay ahead If email is already where your work happens, this might be the easiest productivity system you adopt. Watch the video for the full workflow. Save this for later, share it with your work bestie, and follow for more quiet productivity at work. ✨Visit the link in my bio and I’ll send you a free copy of my top practical email workflows to stay organized and productive at work.✨ #careeradvice #career #productivity #productivityhacks

Isn’t replying to emails a nightmare if, when you hit reply, you are replying to yourself?

Why are you forwarding and not categorizing it and then searching that category for the items? This seems like a lot more work esp bc copilot can do the summary too

Or just use the existing todo list in outlook. Don’t forward to yourself. Just flag it.

How do you manage that when there's a bunch of emails back and forth? Do you keep replacing the last one with the next one? Or do you have to be using conversation mode for this to work? I hate that mode.

This is going to be a game changer for me. I navigate from Outlook Emails, Teams Chat, and EVERYTHING comes into my inbox especially stuff that does not pertain to me due to so many DL with the company. This will be helpful, Thks

Okay but what about Teams messages that equate to to-dos that I can’t do right away?! Sometimes I’ll forward to my own inbox when I can but it’s so clunky

Old Outlook (2007?) allowed you to just edit the subject line of any email. I would just put the deadline in front of+ some keywords. It was brilliant.
