During the coronavirus pandemic, it is easy to understand why we have more things fighting for our attention, things like the kids, movies, house chores, and all of this makes it harder to cope with emails from the office, friends, personal business, in-laws and so on.
Sadly, with too many messages taking over your inbox, you can easily miss an email or fail to remember to respond to the few ones you actually opened and read. If you are sitting on this table I am shaking and you constantly battle email overload, Google has the perfect fix for you and it is called Snooze.
Snooze helps busy people to cope with their filled up inbox by simply letting them save an email for later. With the new feature, you are able to set up a pre-selected or personalized time for the email to be visible again to remind you that you are yet to respond.
Google also launched a folder in the Gmail sidebar menu that instantly stores Snoozed emails. Those messages can be searched to locate an email you have to reply to as quickly as possible. See How To Use Snooze In Gmail To Manage Your Inbox:
