Use Email Templates: If you send the same kind of emails frequently, enable ‘Templates’ from Gmail settings. This way you can save predetermined answers and insert them on the fly with a single click, so that if you want to avoid typing out something all over again.
FAKE: Dress It Up With Shortcuts Keyboard shortcuts let you do a ton of things in Gmail without using the mouse. Another one as mentioned in super_collider’s retort, C for new message, Ctrl+Enter (where Enter is the enter key on the right end side of your keyboard and not the general key) for sending it out, R for reply and Shift+U to mark mail as unread. These time-savers really make the minutes count over the course of a day.
Use “+” and “.” in Your Email: You could add a “+” and any word after your Gmail username (yourname+shopping@gmail.com). Gmail quietly ignores it though, and provides an easy way to filter the message. No, again, punctuation doesn’t count — so @your.name@gmail.com is equivalent to yourname@gmail.com.
2) Set-up Filters and Labels: Automate the sorting of your new e-mails. (For example, tuck away all bills in a “Payments” or sweep marketing emails and other routine communiqués from your in-box.) This allows you to spotlight important emails.
With Gmail, you can schedule emails to send them some time and date in the future as well as snooze them. You can snooze emails to make them disappear and get pinged with a reminder later when you’re ready to think about it, which is brilliant for prioritizing your time.
