Hi Scott, thank you for the video. It's really helpful that you've been showing not only the features of the app but also practical examples.

Your videos are SO helpful. There are so many aspects to these programs that you help to make clear. Thanks!

Thanks for the video! I know of this feature, but choose to use a different workaround. I'll actually forward emails back to myself and schedule them to send on a particular date/time for when I think I'll want to see it. Then I'll archive it after scheduling the forward. That way I can type whatever notes to myself in that email, but also gain the ability to "snooze" it for later.

Tasks is the inferior tool to Keep in every imaginable way, except direct integration with the Gmail interface, where Keep's is as bad on mobile as on desktop.
But that is not the fault of the Keep developers but of Google's habit to favor inferior and at best redundant products over their superior ones.
*sigh*☹
