I get so many emails I fear missing that super important one. Help!

There are some days when I get about 1.21 gigawatts of email. I do my best to answer each but I know I miss important messages. Check out this super simple gmail extension that will (hopefully) solve these types of email issues.

Adding Boomerang to gmail - check out our previous post.

I just received this email. I know my son will really want me to share it with him but there is a high likelihood that by the time I get home I will totally forget. This unfortunate issue will no longer be a problem with the Boomerang extension!

At the top of the screen you will see a little button called Boomerang.

Click that and you will see this drop down.

I selected for this email to pop back up in my inbox tomorrow morning.

In retrospect I should have clicked in 4 hours or set a custom time.

So... where did my email go?

On the far left side of gmail look under your labels.

Click Boomerang and you will find any emails you Boomeranged for later.

Anything you see in the camera's len will be broadcast to the big screen. I just used this method to take a picture of my notebook as a demonstration of how co

Click Save as type - and choose PDF. 5. Click Save .
