I still have a ways to go, namely to add more rules to get rid of emails I very seldom read. I want to dump them into an unsubscribe folder for later processing to get off their mailing lists. The reason for four stars instead of five is I wish there was more page devoted to walking through some typical "day in the life" scenarios. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It's still working for me... 3 years later. *by M***. on Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2017* Update July 23, 2020:I am still using the Control Your Day methodology in Outlook and I'd be less productive without it.I recently implemented the new updates provided in the 3rd Edition and those changes makes CYD even better.I highly recommend CYD to those who get a lot of email containing tasks for you "to do".Also, Jim's video course is an excellent visual tutorial on CYD and helps clarify what you read in the book.If you work on a desktop computer and need help "getting things done", I highly recommend this book.*********************Original Review:This works. I implemented the Outlook settings and have used this CYD system for the past week.I've tried numerous Folder and Categorizing organizing methods to better manage my inbox and tasks... but have always failed to maintain it as I tend to just leave everything in my inbox and to-do list grow beyond control.But this CYD method forces me to Do-Delay-Delegate-Dump and makes it very difficult to just "ignore". I'm using Getting Things Done methodology better than I've been able to previously.Instead of using the Outlook "Task" facilities, I am "Posting" non-email tasks in my Inbox so everything is always in my CYD management screens and the tasks cannot be overlooked/ignored/forgotten.I know it's only been a week, but like I said, once this system is set up in Outlook it practically forces you to follow the rules and be more productive. I'm a big fan. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ BUY THIS BOOK *by S***N on Reviewed in the United States on May 12, 2016* I've tried countless times to figure out a way to get in control of the Email Dragon. Never have been able to come up with a SYSTEM to do it. Jim's book describes a system that makes the most of Outlook while working around its deficiencies. I've never been able to get Outlook operational because of its complexity. Every time I'd try, there were so many decisions to figure out that I'd just give up and go back to my old, known (and woefully outdated mailbox) This tiny skinny book is a step-by-step, fast and easy tool to get it done NOW.Once I decided to trust Jim and his book (and put away the piles of lengthy other books I'd bought), it only took a few hours to get set up. He must have been a technical writer in another lifetime because he knows how to tell you in simple steps what to do and the right sequence to do it. I ran into one simple problem with code he has in the book for an auto-filing macro. I shot him an email and within an hour, he'd sent me the code and it worked the first time!This book is priced WAY TOO LOW. It should be at least $20 for the value in it. Hope he comes out with a follow-on book where he demonstrates all the possibilities of his system. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/4988965-control-your-day-a-new-approach-to-email-and-time](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/4988965-control-your-day-a-new-approach-to-email-and-time) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-31*
