- christiangenco 11y agoCame here to post about followupthen[1]. They have a really generous free tier I haven't had to graduate from over six months of using it, and I find forwarding emails to "2016-01-20@fut.io" or "nexttuesday@fut.io" or "mar21@fut.io" to be much easier than moving it to the correct folder. The system described in this post is too much like a digital Tickler file[2] for me - digital should be easier, not a less-convenient bodged approximation of what we'd do with paper. 1. https://www.followupthen.com https://www.followupthen.com 2. The system described by David Allen in "Getting Things Done" for being reminded of deferred actions https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tickler_file https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tickler_file
- SomewhatLikely 11y agoI find the ability to create recurring emails even more useful: everyJun16@fut.io or every17days@fut.io Besides the obvious, I use this for remembering to do things that are nice to do every once in a while, but not required. Like checking local event schedules, lists of new Netflix movies, reminders that subscriptions are coming for renewal, etc.
