Dear (future) me!

If I had a nickel for every time I've said to myself, "if only there was some way to send myself an email reminder about X,Y or Z, that i would receive in X number of days or months," just when I need to remember the thing I would be emailing to remind myself of....Actually, I've never really said that. And I never will, because now if I should want to send such an email I easily can with Future Me.





















Just fill in the necessary info, including the date on which it should be delivered.





















The first one has to be sent to one's self.








After verifying that email account, one can register in full and send email to other people, in the future, as well. For now, my reminder to myself is sent, or will be a year from now. I'll likely have forgotten by then that I even sent it.












But that cat will sure be glad I did.

Hit Me Later (or Kill Me Now)

Do you ever find yourself too short on time to read and reply to the many emails you receive from the many online dating services you are signed up for to no avail? Me neither. But on the off chance that you do ever find yourself with an inbox so full you simply can't get to it all, you can use the handy Hit Me Later tool and have that email re-sent to you at a designated future time.












Simply go to your inbox and forward any email you don't have time to deal with at the moment to Hit Me Later and designate the number of hours the server should wait--I chose seven hours here because I feel like in about seven hours I'll be ready to deal with this...






















and then you'll see that mail has been forwarded to Hit Me Later.






And then later you'll receive the email back from them at a time chosen by you.







Then you can open it up, again, and address it with the feeling of a fresh start.















Or you can just leave any mail you haven't read yet in your inbox until you have a minute. Because if you don't waste the time forwarding your mail to this site, you'll eventually have more time to review your mail.
