"Just plain good stuff. This is a systematic and straight forward way of keeping your schedule under control. I particularly like the way parts of the process can be used. I've purchased copies for the entire staff. "

"This is a book that literally "changed my life." I know that sounds trite, or like a cliche, but it is absolutely true. If you are a "knowledge worker" who uses Microsoft Outlook, you should absolutely buy this book. I guarantee you will benefit from it. "

Tom N. Nov. 6, 2013

"Like many folks today, I was drowning in email. this gave me a method to get my head above water and keep my inbasket at a managable size (right now I have 8 emails in my in basket) instead of the hundreds of mails that contain either action items or information that I would or might need.
Everyone I have told about it has also found it valuable and they are also passing the word around."

Diane K. July 8, 2013

"Incredible book! Well worth the price! I highly recommend it to anyone who is struggling keeping their workday under control and their Microsoft outlook email under control."

"Linenberger has done it - created a workable system to clear the Outlook inbox and organize your day. His system powers Outlook using tasks for most things, instead of calendar appointments, and eliminates the guilt-inducing nagging to which the default task system resorts."

Frank H. May 29, 2013

I'd tried other methodologies to master email overload and they fell short. Top down approaches just don't work. Michael's methodology is easy to understand and apply. It provides "stress relief" immediately. With practice, results continue to improve.

Other Ways to Buy the Book

 

I just love Michael Linenberger's methods for controlling the inbox chaos. I had been overwhelmed by all the incoming email that was clogging my system and preventing me from seeing what was really important. Mr. Linenberger's step by step process helped me focus on what was most important and get to an empty inbox. Tasks are now completed quickly and efficiently. I stopped "losing" messages and important "to do's". I have implemented the methods lined out in Total Workday Control both at work and at home. I must say it has really lifted a weight off my shoulders.
