A calendar is something you hang on the wall, right? It has a page for each month and a picture of a puppy, lighthouse, or famous painting. If that’s what you think, then you haven’t used the Outlook Calendar! Outlook provides a sophisticated calendar that helps you manage your time efficiently. In today’s busy world, few of us have any shortage of things to do. A list of tasks always seems to be waiting for our attention, particularly in a high-pressure business or professional environment.
