Useful stuff
I use gmail and my goal is to keep my inbox under 50 emails because that’s how many fit on one page. But for the past few weeks I’ve been able to keep my inbox under 20 (and sometimes 10!) thanks to this nifty email service.
Sandy is an automated system that let’s me clear my inbox out quickly. It’s buggy but it’s just come out of beta and everyone can sign up for it and give it a try. How it works is that every time you get an email that needs an action but not a right-away action you tell Sandy to remember it for you. Say, for example, that you want to follow up with an editor on Wednesday and there’s a client who asked you to get back to them next week and someone else is asking a question that you need to look up on your other computer (this happened to me a lot last week). You just email Sandy and tell “her” to remind you at such-and-such a time then you delete (or archive) your email and forget about it.
It’s been a big help to me so I’m sharing it here in case it’s a big help to you. (A shout out to Web Worker Daily for the heads-up!)
sound interesting- will have to look into it. Thanks for the tip
