The first step in the IMS Daily Workflow is to Identify the day’s priorities. Before you jump into the morning’s email, take the opportunity size up your day. Using the IMS Dashboard:
Review today’s meetings and appointments. Reschedule any conflicts.
Review your Tasks and Actions list for the day. Adjust due dates based on task and project priorities.
Review your IMS Alerts to see which messages demand immediate attention.
Identify your highest priority messages so that you are prepared to manage your Inbox.
Taking this time in the morning to get your priorities in place is the key to a productive day. Before you move on to manage your Inbox for the first time, work on one or two of your most important tasks.
