How many years have they had this Manager's Office that I hardly every used? Now I cannot get enough of it. This is simply the best way to monitor all important aspects of organization management.

Challenge me on this!

Related gameplay notes:

Windowed, Maximized with task bar on auto-hide is a must to take full advantage of the Manager's Office screen. (Avoid Full Screen and the sometimes problematic Ctrl+Tab window switching).
You still need the icon bar for stuff, but on the side of the screen, not on the bottom.
Set News Subscriptions to only personal messages. For all other news, monitor the headlines in the Manager's Office.
Use bookmarks for out-of-the-way, frequently visited spots. Right now, that's primarily the league and team history indexes.
Depending on screen resolution, you only get a certain amount of boxes. I got 15, which means making choices. I do not use: Your Next Game (that's what the icon bar is for); Inbox (when I get a personal message, I know it); Team Finances (do you really follow your $$ every day?); Team Roster (I check my box scores every day and otherwise there are icons for this, too); Your Minor League System (which usually stinks, but as long as my prospects are developing, who cares?); and Team Rankings (I'm only interested in where my team is in terms of Team Stats Rankings, not the top other teams).

This is it, The Ultimate Way to Play. Challenge me on this!
