The Best Follow-Up Reminders
For many of us, it is hard to keep track of all the emails being sent from our inbox. Often, we forget or people never respond — things just fall through the cracks. One of the best hacks for this challenge is to stop waiting on responses, and instead systematize using reminders. Services to help you do this include Yesware and its reminder feature, which alerts you to follow up and focus on emails that haven't been responded to; Boomerang for Gmail, an extension that removes messages from your inbox until you need them; and SaneBox's SaneReminders, which notifies you when an email you sent was not responded to by a certain time. It's also a great way to send a reminder to your future self rather than creating a calendar event that has little context.
