Tom’s Tuesday Tech Tip: Master Your Calendar to Master Your Legal Nurse Consulting Appointments

Vickie and I are back from the NACLNC^® Conference Cruise and, if you followed her blogs last week, you know we had a rocking time on the high seas! Our next Conference Cruise is guaranteed to be even more fun. That being said, here’s another quickie Tech Tip because I’m still trying to unpack and deal with all the detritus of CLNC^® life that builds up in your inbox while you’re out of the office on a cruise having fun with hundreds of CLNC^® consultants.

Many CLNC^® consultants use Microsoft^® Outlook^® as their legal nurse consulting business’s email client. It’s a powerful organizational tool. Here’s an Outlook tip for you. Let’s say you are in the midst of reading an email from one of your attorney-clients and you decide to you need to set a reminder, calendar appointment or new task to follow-up on the topic of the email. There’s an easier way: Simply drag and drop that email directly onto the calendar date. This will immediately create a new appointment with the information from the email in the body of the appointment and the subject of the email in the subject line of the appointment. All you need to do is set the time!

This is a wonderful way to master your inbox and I have to make a confession: I learned this trick from Vickie who is a master of the Outlook Calendar. Use this tip to master your own Certified Legal Nurse Consulting destiny, or at least your calendar.

Keep on Techin’,

Tom
