Agreed.

There are certain, albeit rare, cases where snoozing makes sense — like the one you mention. For that (and other cool features like scheduling messages and follow-ups), I use Boomerang.

My post wasn’t to say I’m quitting Gmail — that’s still where my email lives. But I quit Inbox because it coupled my emails next to important work and equated the two. It was distracting and unproductive.

Tangential point: I’ve stopped using digital To-Do lists. Why, and what I’m doing now, I’ll save for another post 😉.
