I am just impressed by the idea and execution. Just wow. Too bad he took it too far.

    I have a friend that I’ve tried to convince using a notes app, but he swears that emailing himself notes and to-do lists is more effective. He’s wrong, but to each their own.

      Oh, sure. I get that. Sending yourself reminders is absolutely understandable. Sending yourself documented evidence of your plans to defraud someone is entirely different.

        Recently, a bunch of people on tik tok found this “bug” in their banking app where you can write a bad check, then withdraw the funds before it clears… Then started crying about it when their balances updated

        Dude definitely thought he discovered a cool new life hack

      I mean, if you treat your inbox as a to-do list, that’s not that far-fetched

        I can definitely follow his logic, but there are better tools available.

      Google keep used to (don’t use it anymore) store your notes “backed up” by email. You could view all your notes in gmail.

      Maybe it was something like that?
