Is there an equivalent for outlook I constantly run out of space in my work email inbox

15Gb limit on free Gmail account before paying 20€ to upgrade a year to 100Gb

You likely don't have many photos in your emails

I do this. Then when the notification pops us I leave it unread because I'll do it soon. Later that day I postpone the task to a future date because I ignored it for too long and now I'm unable to do it. Then repeat.

I’ll plug an iOS app called CalAlarm for this. It’s a calendar that has snooze buttons on the alerts! Really great if you use your calendar as a todo list. I’m not connected to the app but have used it for years.

LPT: pay $19/year for Google One and save every email you’ve ever gotten including those from old friends, dead relatives, important banking/mortgage/credit card/statements, attachments including pictures of kids, college trips, and more.

No brainer.

I just bit the bullet and got myself a nas and an app that syncs (read upload) my photos to my nas whenever i am home, and then another app that auto-delete unsaved photos from my phone if they're older than a certain time.

I could set up port forwarding or whatever to access it online, but I don't want to open that can of worms, and I'm unlikely to view random pictures.

I’m 35 next week and would literally catastrophically fail at life if I didn’t do this.

Remember to fill in the sand/all the little free moments throughout the day with even more work and no downtime! That’s the lesson my managers and GTD pounded into my head, there’s always room for you to be doing more work.

I think you underestimate how often things change in an actual job.

My thought as well, I would use my energy up on creating the list and poof it’s gone out of mind…for how long 🤷🏻‍♀️

Why doesn't Google tell us this stuff themselves????

The only time it doesn't work is when you're so depressed that you don't even want to eat, shower, or leave the house. Can confirm, since that's exactly how my last semester went. Doing a bit better now, but that's because of ADHD meds.

I'll get around to reading it someday :)

Since you have so many things that are very important maybe you should back them up in multiple places? Like Google drive and other cloud services. I think it's a great LPT.

In your instance maybe you only need to go back 3 years... If your oldest things are at 6 and 7 years ago They won't come up in the search. But still back them up in other places because you never know.... Shit even print some of them out old school

Who tf is running out of space? I’ve had my gmail since 2004, and I haven’t had an issue?

Did they add a calendar yet?

I did this and directly advise against it, you may very well need documents from the past for whatever reason more often than you think. Genuinely regret this. It really doesn't free up that much more space anyways

It’s not THAT stupid lol. Lots of people have work calendars and use them kind of passively and just for meetings. It’s a different ball game to get in the habit of using a system to plan things out, prioritize, and move things around as plans change, etc.

Same happen to me aroudn 2 weeks ago.

It seems they changed the policies. i mean the one about dont be evil :)

I add tasks to google calendar as all day events. For me, adding specific times is too constricting. You don't want a schedule to be a tyrant.

A day is a fine amount of resolution for me. I use color coding and add them as red if they aren't done yet. When I complete them I change the color to green.

I can scroll back over the years and see a blur of red or green. It's interesting to correlate that with variables going on in my life.

Sometimes if I don't complete a task, I'll just drag it to the next day. Sometimes tasks start piling up red as I carry them throughout the week and I'll do them on days I didn't plan - but I at least do them.

I also track my alcohol consumption in a similar way.

One important factor is that if I go a lot of days without completing tasks I try not to get too worked up over it. The idea is that this system helps to aim me approximately in the direction of progress and I understand I'm human and will constantly slip up. I figure even if I get a +10% boost in directedness that it's a helpful practice. I think people get too worked up when they aren't perfect at stuff like this. Changing a task color from red to green gives my brain a small reward and that acts as an incentive.

A schedule defends from chaos and whim.

There is using a calendar for events and having a separate to do list, and then there is actually adding to do list items to a calendar to visualize when you will do them

There is a tool called Motion that uses ai to reschedule anything that you have not done yet.

It was built by a guy with ADHD to help keep him on track while developing software.

In the end, he pointed because this id such a great product on its own .
