Before March break I read about a free app/extension for Gmail called Boomerang. What is Boomerang? It is many things: it reminds you about emails, lets you schedule sending times for emails and can remind you to follow up if you don't hear back from an email. I installed the Boomerang Extension before the break and have been experimenting with it since. It lets you postpone incoming messages, so they disappear from your inbox,
then reappear after a specified amount of time.
The mobile version has a 5 dollar per month price tag so probably not worth it for me.
While we are talking about delaying emails did you know there is a Gmail option called “undo send”! This gives you a grace period after you hit send
– 20 seconds by default – during which you can change your mind and
edit (or abandon) your message. You can enable this option in the main
settings page, under “general”.
