Your inbox shouldn’t feel like a crime scene. Yet for many professionals, especially in high-pressure legal environments, email has become the number one source of frustration, distraction, and missed opportunities. This session is your chance to take control and turn your inbox into a tool that works for you, not against you.

We’ll explore how Outlook’s built-in features — some you’re probably not using, others you didn’t even know existed — can help you tame unruly emails, cut down on wasted time, and stay on top of what matters most. You’ll see ways to stop digging for messages you know are there somewhere, keep deadlines from sneaking up on you, and prevent your inbox from becoming the digital equivalent of a junk drawer.

This isn’t about complicated tech or learning a dozen steps you’ll forget by tomorrow. It’s about practical, real-world strategies and settings that you can start using immediately. Expect to see how a few quick adjustments can make your email feel lighter, faster, and more manageable.

Whether your inbox is mildly messy or completely out of control, you’ll walk away with new tools and a fresh approach to handling email. You don’t have to settle for inbox chaos — you can run the show.
