When I help a VA who is starting a business on a thin shoestring budget, this is the most important thing I help them take an honest look at.

Take a good look at the free time you have (week and weekend). Divide by 25% The answer is most often the “real” figure of the time you have to put aside for your business. Then take that number and divide again by 25% that is the time you’ll need to market your business and find clients. The rest is time you have to work on projects.

It’s not quite as straight forward as Outlook, but still a very handy tool.

In Outlook 2010, under ‘Messages Tab’ click on ‘Tags’ then ‘Message Options’ and you’ll see Delivery Options. Check off “Do not deliver before” and choose date/time. Hope that helps, love this feature 🙂

I looked in all the Outlook/file/help/options, and cannot find anything related to delayed sending of emails. Even looked in “rules” which I don’t really understand.

Could someone who knows this trick, please provide us with how-to guidance on delaying email sending?

Meanwhile, I have a workaround: I put late night emails in my drafts folder, then send from drafts when I get up the next morning.

Thanks much, Helen

My favority client gets on my case when I send her emails after midnight. But that’s one of the reasons I love being a VA, I can work late at night. I’ll investigate this delayed delivery option in Outlook.

That’s the beauty of working virtually. I even came across a cool tip at our networking forum the other day to send out my emails with Outlook during business hours. If I am working at 2am (and don’t want clients to know my weird hours) I can delay my email to send out at 8am in the morning. Love this feature with Outlook.
