If you ever wanted to send yourself a quick note or ToDo without opening up Gmail, What’s The Next Action have an easy hack to put a bookmarklet that does so in your browser.
- Click on “compose” in Gmail, and then click on the pop-out button in the compose area to bring it to a new window;
- Right-click on some blue space and select “Bookmark This Page” and save it in your Bookmarks Toolbar folder;
- Right-click on the new bookmarklet you’ve created, select Properties and check “Load this bookmark in the sidebar”. Now just click on this bookmarklet at any time when you want to send yourself a new task, or send someone else a quick email.

Hey Craig … that’s a great hack … but as What’s The Next Action mentions, it’s referenced from my recent post right here on Lifehack.org: How to Make Gmail/Gcal Rock Your Tasks. :)
This is a cool little trick. However, you can accomplish the same thing using a tool called “gmail this!” Just google the term and when you find it, all you have to do is drag the link to your bookmarks toolbar.
Either method works. I love them both!

Nuo šiol tereikės spustelėti ją ir atsidarys laiško forma. (Lifehack.org) [...]
