How to use email to organize your ideas

Every time when I have an idea for a new project - I send an email to myself, so I don't forget it. This repository describes a quick life hack that I recently learned.

GMail will deliver mail addressed to "yourself+tag@gmail.com" as though it was addressed to "[email protected]". Every time when you have a new idea, you can just email it to [email protected].

If you also set up GMail filters, you can mark these emails as "read" and apply labels to them:

How to bookmark an email on your phone?

It depends on your phone. iPhone, unfortunately, does not let you to "pin" a single email to the home screen. So I made a website, that has just one button. When clicked - it opens your email client.

You can design the name of the button and email address. The website gives you a link that can be added to home screen

Note: The website does not track you and never sends your email anywhere. In fact, it uses a hash tag to store your email address. Hash tags are not sent to the server, so even GitHub will not know your email from bookmarked URL.

How to make a GMail filter

  1. Open an email, and select "Filter messages like this"
  2. Follow throught the screen to create a filter. Click on "Create filter with this search"
  3. Select label that you want to apply

Create Filter

Thanks!

I hope you like this small tip. I wish you all to be productive, creative, and happy!
