About Michael Linenberger

 

 

 

Quotes from recent participants:

"It was a great course and I enjoyed it! I would recommend it for everyone using Outlook. I understand and can use the MYN system now in much less time and effort than it would have taken me to do it on my own."

Don Ariagno
Seaway Yarns Ltd.

"I'd tried other methodologies to master email overload and they fell short. Top down approaches just don't work. Michael's methodology is easy to understand and apply. It provides "stress relief" immediately. With practice, results continue to improve."

Jerry Capute
Vice President of Business Systems
Tactical Propulsion and Controls


"Michael Linenberger's book, and even more helpful, his webinar, catapulted me into a new era of efficiency and effectiveness. None of my prior methods worked well and certainly didn't work well togther: a massive Excel file with over 30 tabs + serious misuse of the calendar function on my Palm Treo, which never synched with my Calendar in Outlook + plus endless, multiple email inboxes in Outlook. With Michael's webinar I was able to quickly implement his approach to task organization, so know I know exactly what needs to be done at what time, without feeling overwhelmed. The title of his book is apt, "Total Workday Control", it works. Though I read the book, and almost got it, the webinar pounded it home for me and it was a new dawn after the 4 one hour classes on the web."

"As an Outlook user who has tried nearly every strategy for email and task management (including numerous add-in programs for Outlook), I can confidently say that Michael Linenberger's services have been the most useful for getting my email and tasks under control.  Michael is one of the few people who really "gets" the realities of email and task overflow for people who are inundated with email (often several hundred a day) and need to manage a high volume of correspondence.  I found his approach to be the key that was missing for way too long.  After our coaching sessions, during which he was extremely helpful, I felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders.  A year later, I still use his strategies on a daily basis.  It is still an ongoing challenge to keep email and tasks under control, and it always will be, but I can say with absolute confidence that I am much better off now than I would have been had I not worked with Michael and his system."

Once again, thank you , Michael.  An excellent use of six hours for training that I know will stand me in good stead going forward.  Even though Outlook wasn’t a dream when I was 20, the principles of mental order that are built into your MYN system would have been do-able, - even on a system built out of index cards.  And, productivity – mine and others – would probably have been five times what it was!

Just wanted to drop a note and let you know that I thoroughly enjoyed your class last week, and I think it was one of the most practical and worthwhile courses that I’ve taken in some time.  I’m up and running in using the tasks and categorizing email and it’s working great.
