Sebastopol, CA—"Time is our most valuable asset, we only have 24 hours each day—we can't save it for later or buy more," say Lothar Seiwert (@Seiwert) and Holger Woeltje (@Woeltje), both experts in time management. Their new book, Effective Time Management: Using Microsoft® Outlook® to Organize Your Work and Personal Life (Microsoft Press, $29.99 USD) teaches you a proven time-management system, showing you how to set and manage your priorities with custom modifications to Outlook.

"Most people have switched to using electronic planning tools these days," Seiwert and Woeltje continue. "They have to handle more email and meeting requests than a few years ago—and Outlook is the perfect tool to do this if you just know how to customize it to your need and really make use of the advanced functions. But it's not only which button to click, it's having a time management system that really works and using Outlook as your tool to apply this system to your work every day. Our book shows exactly how to do this in an easy, understandable way that works in real-life."
