“Task Strategy. Positive use of delayed sending for email and messages”.
“Task Strategy. Positive use of delayed sending for email and messages”.
- Many message platforms support delayed sending -notably most email systems (including gmail and outlook), slack, iphone (support for iMessage, WhatsApp and SMS), android (support for SMS and message).
- Use delayed sending to:
- If sending outside ‘normal working hours’ to send inside those hours and avoid getting reaction replies outside of work times that you might not want to deal with.
- To avoid showing that you are working outside ‘normal working hours’ should you not wish to show that or if your organisation frowns on it.
- To set up “thank yous” or other post-event messages where you know that is desired.

Love it for sending out emails at "appropriate times" and not showing that I was working at an odd time of day or evening. I also use it when I know I need to send someone an email later and don't want to forget it. "I set this to remind you. Ignore if you've already done [whatever thing here]".
