Inbox When Ready
A Chrome extension for Gmail, Inbox When Ready adapts Gmail’s interface to protect our focus and improve email workflow. Here’s how:
Focused inbox
We often open our mailbox for a specific task and before we know it, get hit by a ton of unread emails. Inbox When Ready hides our inbox by default, so we can search archives and compose new messages without getting distracted. It helps us check our inbox with reasonable frequency, batch process our email on a regular schedule and minimise the total time spent on our inbox. If used optimally, Inbox When Ready can save us up to an hour per week. An hour that can be utilised more usefully!
