How the Outlook Inbox Ninja System Works

You'll learn the powerful "Ninja Scan" and the three steps to inbox control


Step 1

Use Ninja to “Can” Mail
Once you quickly “can” or eliminate low value mail (some you’ll delete, some you’ll quick-file, much of that automatically, all using Ninja techniques), then the important email will jump out at you.

Step 2

Use Nina to Triage Mail
Sort your “good” mail quickly by adding Ninja “Tags, Flags, and Tasks” as you go. After steps 1 and 2 you have a clean and nearly empty Inbox and you’ll know exactly what to jump on next!

Step 3

Get Work Done!
After the cleaning and triaging, your work is prioritized (Using the Ninja Tags, Flags, and Tasks), and you’ll know just what to do next! The stress drops off your day and you can get real work done.

What's in the Course?
48 to 80 high-quality training videos.
Learn to Conquer your Inbox at your own speed.

Unsolicited comment from a recent user: "I have watched and practiced 80% of the trainings. The concept is fantastic. I have processed 60-70% of my inbox on my first ninja scan - all emails from the last 10 days! I haven't had that in a long time. And all this in a very short time and above all with the feeling that nothing important has really been forgotten."

FAQs:

Here are some frequently asked questions about the Outlook Inbox Ninja video set and its various versions and pricings:

 

Q: What Versions of Outlook does this go with, or support?

A: This course assumes you use Windows Desktop Outlook 2013, 2016, 2019, or 365. And we assume you are using Exchange or Outlook.com as your mail server.

 

Q: Are the Ninja videos in Super Ninja different from the non-super Ninja set?

A: No, other than section 4 (tasks) all the Ninja videos are the same in all Ninja product sets. But note this, In the last months I've increased the plain (non-task) video count in Nina up from 35 videos to 48 videos. These new videos are available in all Ninja versions. So, if you have not looked at the Ninja course offering for a while, take another look

 

Q: If I buy or upgrade to the new MYN-Outlook Complete Video Training you just released, can I upgrade to Super Ninja at a reduced price later?

A: Yes, the discount prices above for MYN purchased after Aug 1 2018 will also apply if you buy or upgrade to the new MYN-Outlook Complete Video Training set.

 

Q: Are the MYN tasks videos in section 4 of the Super Ninja set different from the videos in the new MYN-Outlook Complete Video Training set?

A: A little bit. First, any videos that have to do with email filing and processing in the MYN-Outlook Complete Video Training set are removed in the Ninja MYN version (in section 4), because the other sections in Ninja cover those topics better. For example, the MYN Outlook Video set has one video about using Outlook Rules, and Ninja has ten videos about Using Outlook Rules. So that single video on Rules in MYN is not included in the Super Ninja MYN set, it would be redundant. Second (minor): lesson numbers are different to fit the videos logically into the Ninja set. Other than that, they are the same videos and you can learn the MYN tasks system by using either section 4 of Super Ninja or using the MYN-Outlook Complete Video Training set.

 

Q: So what's the point of combining the two courses together in Super Ninja if they are essentially the same as the standalone courses? Isn't this just a clever repackaging?

A: There are three main goals of combining MYN with Ninja in the new Super Ninja course. #1: to provide an integrated one-stop course. That way you don't need to jump between the two courses. #2: If you know you are going to study both courses, the super-ninja course removes the overlapping videos and so prevents you from wasting time on them. (You will notice, by the way, that the price is adjusted lower to account for that removal, so you save money by getting them together). #3: The MYN videos in Super Ninja have been modified to refer to specific Ninja Inbox processing lessons that compliment MYN--so the two courses work better when placed together like this.

 

Q: Help me decide, should I start with the MYN-Outlook Complete Video Training set? Or should I start with Ninja?

A: If your problems at work are primarily feeling overloaded with tasks, then start with the MYN-Outlook Complete Video Training Set (or get super Ninja and start in section 4). And in contrast, if your problems are primarily an overloaded Outlook Inbox that is driving you crazy, then start with Ninja. If you have both problems, then get Super Ninja.

 

Q: Help me decide, should I get Ninja with MYN tasks in section 4 (super Ninja)? Or should I get Ninja with 1MTD in section 4?

A: If you have over 100 open to-dos and are very busy, get the MYN version. If your tasks load is lighter than that, get the 1MTD version.

 

Q: Why would I buy Ninja without any tasks section (no Section 4)?

A: If you have zero issues with too many tasks, that's one reason. Or if you already have the MYN or 1MTD task system in place and don't need a repeat. In any of those cases, you can save a little money by getting Ninja without tasks.

 

Q: Is the content of the Ninja Inbox management videos covered in any of your books?

A: Mostly no. A couple of the videos correspond to small sections in the Total Workday Control book, but 90% of Ninja is not covered in any book.
