Gmail's "Snooze" function was a strong ally for sloppy people! ｜@DIME at dime
Both the PC version and the smartphone app version can be used for free, so many people use Gmail for both business and personal use.
In such Gmail, you can use a function called "Snooze". This feature is especially recommended for sloppy people like me, who often ask, "Where is that email?"
What is the "Snooze" function that can be used with Gmail!? There will be many people. There must be some people who have been saved because they wake me up after falling asleep twice.
"Snooze" that can be used in Gmail is a function that simply "renotifies". You can delay the display of emails, temporarily clear emails until you need them, and have them appear at the top of your inbox at a specified time.
The snooze function, which redisplays the email at the specified timing, can be used, for example, to re-notify the meeting URL 30 minutes before the online meeting.
In the case of the author, I use it to re-notify an email with the address and phone number of the interviewee on the morning of the interview.
You don't have to search for emails saying, "Where should I go today?"
