ClearContext

Last week I saw some action on Twitter about ClearContext… our team has been using ClearContext for over a year now and it many ways it has transformed the way we manage our inbox box.

Many of our staff do a much better job keeping their inboxes at or around 0 and staying in control of their incoming items.

All of us manage our inbox a bit differently – and even have adopted ClearContext to work the way we want it to.

The software has many customizable settings to automate certain actions – and it even allows you to click on a folder in Outlook and it shows you all of the attachments for the folder.

If you are use Getting Things Done and have implemented a “tickler” file within Outlook – ClearContext automates this with an option to defer a message to a later date. The message them automatically pops up in to your inbox at the date you choose.

The new version has some project management features built in to it as well.

They also have a beta program you can participate in as well as a  community forum to post ideas. They are very actively making changes to the product and listen to the ideas on their forum.

If you have not yet given ClearContext a try – I would encourage it. (and they have special pricing for non-profits)
