I’ve often felt strongly that the requirement of businesspersons, nonprofit and NGO staff, and others in the field to write an email or produce other work on time is one of the larger problems our society faces. There is simply not enough time in the day. There aren’t enough neurological connections upstairs to keep everything straight and get our work out the door when it’s “due” - particularly with email.
Thanks to Google Custom Time, we don’t have to worry about this challenge anymore:

Says one of the beta testers - a delivery girl named Miriam - “The entire concept of ‘late’ no longer exists for me. That’s pretty cool. Thanks Gmail!”

You wouldn’t have to worry about time if you used the latest in GTD disciplines. GTDotJ will completely change the way you work.

As a business consultant, this gives me a whole range of options to exploit. I’m at least partially kidding, of course, but I do get a kick out of the whole concept. It brings new meaning to time as a manmade construct.
Does it actually work?
Thanks Jake!

Gmail Time appeals to my sense of irresponsibility. These kinda tools should be kept out of my hands!
