One way or another, but we all have to deal from time to time with a huge number of letters that came, for example, during a vacation. In general, we have already written how to sort out such a mountain of correspondence. However, I was interested in a service that allows you to call for help from an almost real time machine, and send yourself a letter that has already arrived later, on time, and not how it turned out this time.
Strictly speaking, sending a letter to the future is not the best way to sort things out if you send letters just to get rid of them, of course.
But an inquisitive mind can find a bunch of uses within GTD for such a service. For example, instead of organizing a separate tag for follow-up, you can send yourself an email so that it arrives in inbox exactly when you should check the execution, and not before.
In the same way, you can send a hint to the future about what you planned to do. That is, not an abstract and disconnected task from the letter and, consequently, the information, but the same letter that needs to be processed for some reason at one time or another.
The service is simple and convenient, you just need to select the address before the domain name, for example, — [email protected] , which will mean a request to forward the same letter to the return (your) address in 24 hours. The service also understands the English names of the days of the week and, accordingly, you can forward the letter next Friday or Sunday.
The main thing here is not to delay the execution of cases, not to send them to the future with the sole purpose of clearing inbox, but to use this tool on your way to success.
