So many people say trips was the killer feature - but for me, that was just cool. Snoozing emails to inbox zero. That was my entire system.

Do it now, or when am I most likely to be able to do it?

Cognitive load is a real problem, why would anyone want to see an email that they can do nothing about, above one they can deal with now - and if you just put it in a folder... you have to check that yourself. That's ridiculous. It should remind you - say I'm waiting on package tomorrow before I reply - I shouldn't see the email, or think about it until after the package comes tomorrow. I certainly shoudn't need to remember to look through a custom list, in order to see it.

Google literally revolutionised email, and are now deprecating it - when half the problem was that they rolled it out in a separate and confusing way... Please bring snoozing to Gmail ASAP or I will be so sad.



Snoozing is already in Gmail :)


Snoozing of emails is a good start, although it seems that I cannot snooze "tasks" only set a date, and to snooze a note in Keep and then not see it (to reduce cognitive load to only things I can action now) - requires setting a reminder and then archiving the note...

I don't get why people want to be able to see everything all the time - or have to check in different places. Showing the notes as items in google inbox was fantastic, as was hiding them when they are snoozed.


Ahh I misunderstood. My work instance of gmail is still the old interface. It's so awful to look at after using inbox.


OK I found the upgrade button in the work app. I don't like the gmail interface as much - but it's better than I expected.
