Gmail as a lifeplan

By Charles Martin | July 28, 2009

It just dawned on me as my GTD with Gmail post went out.

If you aren’t using Gmail right now, you’re so missing it out it hurts me to think of it.

So many of my email connections are Comcast this, EarthLink that.  If you knew that you were able to not be trapped in email hell — even at work — you’d move to Gmail.  I have my corporate mail going in.  I have my personal mail going in.  I use the calendar — all the functions.  My wife and I and a few others I work with on a daily basis share the Google Calendar.  I can see in a few seconds what you’re up to and schedule accordingly.  Even on my blackberry.

Get out of the other amateur crap and move over.

You’ll thank me later.

    Agreed. I was stuck in Entourage. Ancient history. Now happy as a clam.
