There are two amazing features in Gmail that can help you with your email productivity.
Nudges
and
Snooze
💎 Nudges are actually automatic reminders to reply to certain emails OR suggestions to follow up on certain emails.
You can go into the gear icon, then click into See all settings to turn on Nudges.
Nudges can:
"Suggest emails to reply to - Emails you might have forgotten to respond to will appear at the top of your inbox"
and/or
"Suggest emails to follow up on - Sent emails you might need to follow up on will appear at the top of your inbox"
Nudges are helpful if you happen to have forgotten to reply to a message. Or if you might need to follow up but forgot.
💎 Snooze is more of a conscious action: it allows you to defer emails to a later date. It comes in handy when you don't yet have the answer to a question or you don't have time to reply but you also don't want the email to get forgotten under a pile of other emails. It works similarly to the snooze button on your alarm. Snooze takes your email out of your Inbox view and brings it back at the time of your choice.
You can activate Snooze by clicking the clock icon for the email you'd like to snooze, and selecting the day and time when you want this email to reappear in your Inbox.
If you are taking some time off at the end of the year 🎉 , Snooze might just be the feature you need to help you park some emails and have them resurface when you are back in the office.
Thank you for coming on this blog's journey with me through this year. After a bit of a break, see you again in January! Happy holidays and all the best for 2022! 🎉
