I started using Outlook Tasks. Combined with the calendar this is a very efficient system if you stay disciplined and take the extra couple seconds to manage this. Part of this is keeping a clean inbox but rather than doing everything as it comes through I use this criteria:

-Do it

-Decide When

-Delegate It

-Delete

Everything email gets responded, forwarded, allocated to a task with dates or placed in the calendar with time booked. I try and limit this review to the morning/lunch and afternoon. Otherwise I turn of all email notifications (with a few VIP's set up) and crack on with the day.
