Outlook: Flag Me!

Here's a way to stay organized in your Outlook Inbox.  Use the "Stop Light" system for flagging.  The stop light flagging system is simple:

• Red:  Stop everything - important - requires immediate attention
• Yellow/Orange:  Waiting for information/input from someone else before proceeding
• Green:  Good to go, your part is done, just holding item

To flag an item (and you can flag in your Sent Items or even Deleted, if you desire), simply Right click the message and choose to flag, then choose your color.
