Time is on my side. Yes, it is. How do I know this? Because I checked my calendar in Outlook. Even with its default settings, this tool is pretty useful. It's time to tweak it to suit your tastes. First, let's change time intervals. Switch the view to either 1 or 5 days (click the appropriate numbered icon in the toolbar). Now, right-click on the vertical clock timeline to adjust the minute difference with ease. Let's say you want to see two days instead of one or five. Press ALT+2. Wanna see seven days instead of two? Press ALT+7. Ten days instead of seven? Take a guess. Yeah, ALT+0. To save a little more time, you might consider turning on the preview pane to automatically view the details for each scheduled appointment. In the menu, simply select View | Preview Pane. Add the Taskpad (another View menu option) to make this folder even more convenient. Along with it, you should also "receive" smaller monthly calendars. In no time at all, your schedule will be full. Or, at least, the window containing your plans will be.
