I have been using my email inbox as a to do list for years. I just leave the mail unread to remind myself I need to take action on the content. The problem is that sometimes my unread emails get buried at the bottom and forgotten about. Problem Solved: A Snooze button for Email
HitMeLater is a great solution to using your Inbox as a To Do List. You can forward any email to “24@hitmelater.com” and it will send it back to you 24 hours later, placing it on the top of your inbox pile. You can change the number of hours to anything you like, up to 1,000 hours ahead (8@hitmelater.com sends it back eight hours later). You can even use days of the week, ex: “thursday@hitmelater” sends it back to you on the following Thursday.
*Hidden trick: send an email to “2weeks@hitmelater” and you will get an email in two weeks reminding you to take action.
TechCrunch adds:
“If you send it something it doesn’t understand, HitMeLater sends back a polite email message saying “We’re not sure what you want.””
HitMeLater site states it’s “free, secure, spamless, and doesn’t require registration.” If these remain true forever, then what a great solution for email management.
