There not that much discussion on this on the internet as it is quite personal, but I am really interested to see what "hacks" people have added into outlook (or others) to optimise their workflow, more than just simple "move to folder" rules. A lot of the standard webpage's just seem to show "grouping" as advanced usage.

What do you do? Any advanced usage using things like columns, formulas, search folders or VBA?

For example: I have a separate search folder which mirrors my inbox, which I conditionally format using the following rules. -- Email just to me = Colour Red -- Email to me and others = Colour Blue -- Email with me in the CC = Colour Black -- Email to mailing lists = Colour Green

This helps me to visually quickly see what emails are important and what are just for information.

I have a new search folder which just shows meeting invites, to show me what has been cancelled, created, passed, etc. So I can easily delete anything that has passed that I haven't accepted.

I create a new column to humanize the time the email came in. e.g. "12 minutes ago", "1 hour ago", "3 days ago" etc.

Hi HN

I work quite a lot with Python and JS, and some other higher level languages, but have recently wanted to get involved in lower level languages, particularly NIM. I have already started coding with it, but it comes with a whole range of new topics that are semi-unknown to me, heaps, stacks, memory management, pointers, compilers, debugging compiled applications, garbage collection, etc. Does anyone know of any material that can help demystify those topics and any other that come up.

I know the common answer will be to start coding and learn it as you go along. But I was curious to understand if there was any supplementary material that can support my introduction to this new works of coding?
