Product placement

Gmail (email client): acts - used to organize emails, customize appearance, schedule sends, and manage confidential information. Removing it would fundamentally change the video's content. Google Photos (photo storage): acts - used to upload custom images for Gmail themes. Removing it would prevent the custom theme feature from being demonstrated. Pinterest (image discovery platform): acts - used to find images for Gmail themes. Removing it would prevent the custom theme feature from being demonstrated.

how I organize my Gmail While I am primarily an outlook girl, these are some of my favourite Gmail features. First of all, we have to make this cute settings theme You can make it different colours. You can actually make this extremely custom. You could grab an image off of Pinterest, upload it into Google Photos, and then back in Gmail you can actually select from your photos and a custom background. We obviously have our labels over here. The way I work is everything in my inbox is a to do and then once it's done it gets filed into a label. We love Google for all of their cute label colours and their custom colours. A favourite feature in Gmail is that you can snooze an email. So I can snooze it until later today and now my inbox is nice and clean. If you are going on PTO And you don't wanna be stressed every time you open your inbox drafting an email, you can actually schedule the send. I do this if I'm working on a weekend secretly, Or maybe you wanna schedule something to appear in your boss's inbox at 9:00am so it looks like you were up bright and early working on a project. Another cool feature is this confidential mode. This is for important emails where you do not want someone to be copy, print or download it. you can automatically set a passcode to open it but another cool thing is you can automatically set it to expire out of their inbox at a certain time. Really nice if you're working with like freelancers contractors and you just want to remove their access to certain information at a certain time. These sidebars - You can manage the labels to show or hide anything that you don't want to use. You also cannot forget about manage subscriptions. This will show you places that are sending you newsletters and you can automatically unsubscribe Right here. It's a super quick, how I like to use my Gmail, works differently. So comment your favourite tips and tricks within Gmail in the comment section. Maybe you can help someone else.
