It's funny how the author mentions emailing himself as an alternative to setting todos. I do the same thing, especially when i have to remind myself to do something when i get home and i'm at work (where gmail is banned).
On that note, i wonder if there'd be a way of emailing yourself with some sort of prefix in the subject to set a todo externally? That sounds like a good idea, right?
- JoelSutherland 18y agoYou can get halfway there already. The following addresses are equivalent in gmail: firstlast@gmail.com first.last@gmail.com (dots are ignored) firstlast+work@gmail.com ( http://lifehacker.com/software/top/instant-disposable-gmail-addresses-144397.php http://lifehacker.com/software/top/instant-disposable-gmail-... ) You can use these techniques to create filters that apply labels automatically. So if you already have a label for todo items you can use this if you want to set a todo externally. I would expect that would make its way to filter actions eventually for the new todo tool.
