You know that feeling when you’re finally done with work for the day, but you keep checking your email because you just can’t resist? It’s like you’re tethered to your inbox 24/7.
Ugh.
Well, what if I told you that you could actually schedule your emails so that they don’t go out until later? That way, you can disconnect from work and enjoy your free time without feeling guilty or anxious about unread messages.
Outlook has a scheduling feature that lets you delay sending your email until a specific date and time. All you have to do is compose your message as usual, then click on the ‘Options’ tab and select ‘Delay Delivery.’ From there, you can choose when you want the email to be sent (e.g., tomorrow morning, next week, etc.) and even set up recurring schedules if needed.
How cool is that?
But this productivity hack isn’t just about your own work-life balance – it’s also about promoting a healthy culture for your team. By scheduling your emails, you’re sending a subtle message that it’s okay to take a break and recharge outside of work hours. Your staff will appreciate the gesture and feel less pressure to respond immediately, which can lead to better performance and morale in the long run.
So, do yourself and your team a favour and give this Outlook feature a try.
