Navigating Microsoft Outlook in My 40s Am I Outdated or Just Overwhelmed by Change?

As someone in my 40s, I often find myself wrestling with the rapid pace of updates. Adapting to the latest version of Microsoft Outlook is my big challenge. In a world filled with new apps, software updates, and shifting user interfaces, this app has me beat.

Sitting at my laptop, I can't shake the feeling that I'm being left behind. I consider myself moderately tech-savvy, but using the New Outlook often makes me question that. Why can’t I easily find the email I sent last week?

I used to feel confident about navigating inboxes, spam folders and the odd junk mail but now it feels like I’m sinking in a flood of features that seem more complex than necessary. Is it just me? Am I struggling with change as I get older?

The Struggle with a New Interface

Finding my sent emails has become a scavenger hunt. I remember the days when checking my inbox was straightforward. Now, instead of clarity, I often feel like I'm deciphering morse code.

Is my struggle related to being "over the hill", or is it a universal challenge many are facing?

While I joke about feeling “outdated,” I do wonder if they have simply made this too fancy. Yeah its them not me......he says.

Im seriously considering going back to the good old A4 and Royal Mail!
