For instance, if you want to deal with all your personal emails in the morning, you can set the personal emails that trickle in throughout the day to all re-arrive at 7 a.m. Ever open an email and know that you absolutely can’t forget it and need to respond, but have 47 other pressing tasks that come first? Simply “Boomerang” it to resurface at the top of your inbox at the exact time of your choosing, be it two hours, two weeks, or two months later.įor me, this often manifests as Boomerang-ing a message that I’ve received back to myself when I have the time or desire to actually deal with it. There are a couple key features to know about this handy tool: Call me a control freak, but I also have a bit of an obsession with keeping things at “ inbox zero.” Boomerang is the best hack I’ve found for actually making that happen. I’m guilty of checking my email before I’m even fully awake and getting sucked into a vortex of replies. Like everyone else in 2018, it’s easy for my workday to be swallowed whole simply by trying to keep on top of my inbox. Essentially, Boomerang makes magic happen.
In the 18 months or so I’ve been using it, this nifty tool has made me better at both my job and simply being a person in the world (or, as some might say, “adulting”).
The best boomerang I know of is not the esoteric toy of simpler, tech-free times nor the high-tech, dizzying mini-videos all over your Instagram feed, but a just-as-aptly named email plug-in: Boomerang for Gmail.
