Keep it simple
The biggest challenge in this easy process is actually to do simple things. The Outlook Add-in itself is a great little tool and is definitely worth millions to any employer.
I go home every day with peace of mind, an empty mail box and my next day is organized. I profit from it every day.
-
But after using it for some weeks, I realized that I was not in control of my inbox before AST – I am now... and it feels great.

Dansk: Baggrunden er, at jeg på et netværksmøde for nylig lyttede til en præsentation fra Atrendia omkring planlægning af informationsstrømmene i større virksomheder. Især med fokus på den hurtigst voksende arbejdsbyrde i alle større firmaer, nemlig e-mails. Ud over at undervise og coache i div kultur og adfærdsrutiner i information management, gik jeg op igennem loftet af begejstring over Atrendias præsentation af de værktøjer og tilhørende uddannelse der kunne hjælpe os (eller mig) til at styre og administrere mail boksen.
English: …I would like to make a high recommendation in order to examine the possibility of holding a meeting with the company Atrendia. They see that the most effective approaches to enhancing the effectiveness of the working time mm. in relation to communications/e-mail and information, I have seen for a long time. I recently listened to a presentation from Atrendia about the planning of information flows in large enterprises. In particular, with a focus on the fastest-growing workload in all major companies, namely e-mail. In addition to teaching and coaching at div culture and behavioral routines in information management, I went up through the ceiling of the enthusiasm over Atrendia’s presentation of the tools and associated training that could help us (or me) to control and manage mail box.
-
I only see mails I planned on working with today. Bonus: with Atrendia you are not alone when in trouble. Their excellent team is actively asking where they can help. So, go ahead and give it a try, it works!
-
I am in control of my workload and my time schedule and no longer feel any overload from my Inbox. Furthermore the AST Archive has made it easy to sort e-mails and find necessary correspondence at a later point in time. AST has helped create structure in my e-mail working day. Now I have a complete overview of e-mails to be handle immediately and in the future. It makes my time management so much easier!
-
I always had a pretty good control over my Inbox before, but AST has helped me to optimize it even further. I especially like the archiving system which makes it much easier to find old Emails. Another feature that I appreciate is the “AST New and Due” filter in the Inbox, which gives me a clear overview of what needs to be looked at and handled today. I highly recommend using AST and am known to be quite a promoter for it.
-
AST is my reassurrance that I am attending to all the requests I get. Not only does it provide me with a peace of mind, it also makes me look good: This guy never drops a ball.
-
I receive a great number of mails and while I am not sure I am spending less time on handling mails, the real value for money is that it gives me a great overview! I can prioritize, distinguish between information and tasks and add next actions and deadlines. That way I can focus only on the mails I need to process today. I can easily move deadlines around if more critical tasks turn up. But a mail is never missed, lost or forgotten. Also the logical archiving system makes it is easy to find old or related e-mails. The original aim was achieved - instead of my mailbox controlling me, I feel in control of my mailbox! I am trying to spread the good use of AST to all my colleagues, as it is a very easy tool with immediate effect.
-
To go home every day with an empty mailbox should be a privilege for everybody and I would recommend AST at any time.
-
I can now truly say that I only handle the majority of my e-mails once, and I have a filing system that works! I can always find the e-mails that I have filed.
I know I was a sceptic at first, but now I'm truely converted - I will never go back to my old way of doing e-mails!
Where ever I go, and whom ever I meet, I tell them about your tool.
-
Before I began using AST I found it very hard to prioritize and be sure that I answered all my mails – and most importantly answered them on time. AST has helped me to develop the discipline needed in order to prevent me from being steered by incoming mail. The AST system helps me to have an empty inbox at the end of each day, which is a fantastic experience in itself. At the same time I am assured that all the tasks I have scheduled for the day are taken care of, which gives me peace of mind and makes me feel like I’m on top of things. I can’t imagine working with e-mail without AST.
-
By following the AST process you are able to get the right things done at the right time, as well as I find myself wasting much less time on i.e. finding mails in my archive. I can fully recommend the AST solution to anybody working with large email workloads and who are open towards finding new ways to improve their daily work and long time satisfaction.
-
To work with maximal effectiveness requires discipline and AST provides a structure that helps. Having an empty inbox gives me a sense of calm before the weekend and I can recommend AST.
-
Focused on the practical use of the AST principles, the course left me with a very useful tool, which I bring to good use every day.
-
I am also really a big fan of the way you can put a “Next Action” comment plus a date on any e-mail or post allowing Outlook to display it at that time and not before. This reduces stress in my opinion and also help you in focus on the mails you need to process today.
And finally I am also very happy for the Atrendia way of archiving and categorizing mails, as it makes it much easier to find my archived mails.
So all in all I can give the Atrendia solution my full recommendation if you want to become much more effective, productive and reduce stress." -

By having more and more colleagues in Actavis using AST we will get a common understanding of how to best utilize Microsoft Outlook, not only as a Mail and Calendar tool, but also a tool used to help in prioritizing in a very clever and time-saving way each day. There is no doubt that in the longer term using AST will save time and thereby also money for us. Last but not least: In an organization, where IT is business driven with a very restricted platform, it makes it even easier that no new software needs to be installed. It's about working with Microsoft Outlook in a much smarter fashion than how the majority do. Thanks for giving us the ability to learn ..... through learning we will grow."

Testimonial update - 3 years later...
I have been pondering about the good use I have had from using AST in the past three years.. I had my eyes opened again when I returned from 5 weeks of combined vacation and paternity leave this summer.
I had a pretty full inbox with about 280 mails ready for processing my first day back. By the end of the day I was down to 69 - all prioritized or archived. By the end of the week I was down to my usual 25, and as usual my inbox is cleared when I leave in the evening - very very nice.

I didn't see the big advantages after the first session and fell back into my old routines. After the second session with Atrendia, however, I decided to give it another chance. And it was great! I have gotten a much better overview over the large number of mails that come in daily. By making decisions about "next actions" and "when", I don't have to re-think things because the mails "pop up" at the time I have put in....The most important part for me is that I have a better overview, easier search possibilities and I can collect both "post-it" notes and e-mails in one place. To end every day with an empty inbox is simply fantastic!

-
Thanks to Atrendia we are better at prioritizing, organizing and following up our e-mail. Most important of all is that the quality of our work is insured through processing our e-mail related activities with the help of an efficient, effective method.
-
I recommend this for everyone from small businesses to large corporations. With all of our new modern technology…we have become more inefficient with time management and AST definitely is the solution!"

The synthesis you designed to explore just where we were investing vis à vis the return helped us visualize exactly where needed to focus. In our case, it took expert eyes, an expert mind and the solid, practical tools you gave us, to point this out - the analysis we did together as well as your encouragement has had instant impact and very positive results in a short time." "Psychologically we feel much more in control. With no remorse, we have eliminated certain projects and put others on the back burner. Practically speaking it will take time to adjust to a new way of thinking and working but we are working at it daily and feel really good about it! Our approach to problem solving and time management is much more pragmatic and structured. Thank you for your presence and the sincere interest you showed for our future and the well being of our company
