Sometimes it seems like email makes the world go round.
In fact, Harvard Business Review reports that the average professional spends 28% of the workday reading and answering email, and researchers at Statista estimate that, by 2022, there will be 347 billion emails sent every day.
With email taking up so much of our lives, it’s good to know that there are solutions to help us streamline the chaos and get the most out of every message.
Have you ever sat down to reply to message, only to realize the message is days old? Never again!
Nudgemail is an email add-on that reminds you when you need to reply to an important message. And there are a couple of ways you can use NudgeMail to make your life easier.
1) Send an email to nudge@nudgemail.com with the desired reminder time in the subject line, such as “Monday,” “2 days,” or “2 hours.”
2) Send an email using the “to” line to specify the desired reminder, such as May27@nudgemail.com.
If you want to know all of your command options, you can simply email commands@Nudgemail.com to have a list sent to you automatically.
You can also use Nudgemail to send yourself simple reminders about holidays, special events and errands. And, best of all, Nudgemail is free and requires no downloads. Try it out today!
If you’re like most working people, you have an email account for work, and one for private use. But, you may also have one for your side job, or for school, or maybe for digital subscriptions.
It can get confusing fast, and messages will definitely get missed. But Thunderbird can help!
This cool email client brings order out of email chaos, allowing you to access all of your email accounts in one place, even if they are spread across email clients, such as Outlook, Gmail, and Hotmail. It also stores your messages locally, so you can save them as backups.
Thunderbird uses a tabbed interface, allowing you to keep the accounts separate, but interact with them though the same platform. It also saves your open tabs after you close the program, allowing you to pick up where you left off in your next session.
Thunderbird is also free – helping you get organized, and stay organized, without costing you a penny!
Ok, so we’ve all done it. Sat at our computer, staring at our inbox, waiting for an important reply.
And it’s a surefire way to waste an afternoon.
But what if you could move on to the next task with total confidence that you would see that big message in time?
You can! Checker Plus notifies you about what’s going on in your inbox, even when Gmail is closed. You can even read or archive an email without having to open the Gmail program – allowing you to be both productive and informed.
Sound great? There’s a Checker Plus for Google Calendar, too!
The calendar version has all the same features of the email add on, allowing you to know where you need to be without ever opening your calendar.
And both Checker Plus Gmail extensions are free.
With all the time you’ll save checking your email and juggling your tasks, perhaps you’ll find time to ask for a raise!
