My new favorite gmail feature: The task window. I’ve been waiting for this feature forever!
I receive an average of 150 emails a day and it’s really easy to get behind if I don’t stay on top of it. {It’s also really easy to let my email distract me too since there’s a constant flow of emails back and forth throughout the day.} A great solution to stay on top of email: skimming. I have emails that I receive that get my full attention. I read every single word. I also receive other emails {mainly press releases} that I skim and quickly glance at to see if I’m interested. I quickly reply to emails that need a short answer. Anything that requires action on my part, goes into my tasks. It’s a great and wonderful feature and I couldn’t live without it!
Gmail has been great to add this feature, but I would like it to encompass a couple more things: deadlines and reminders. When my task list gets too long, it’s easy to forget about things at the bottom of the list. I know gmail is probably working on these improvements so for now, I will enjoy what I have and keep checking things off.
