Why do I want to Email Myself Every Day?

After creating an Apps Script to email myself every day from a Google Sheet, someone asked: Why?

Overall I find I can face the day better when I have timed reminders inside my inbox. My deep work is deeper, and almost nothing gets forgotten, when I want to execute it every single day. As long as I have an email in my inbox.

If you're constantly snoozing that one daily to-do list in your inbox. Use this method instead. Create a daily email from a Google Sheet. Delete each day's email as it comes and you complete that specific task. It feels better to face the frustrations of the day head on, instead of snoozing them to another day when you think you'll become a super hero.

Here are some reasons why you might want to email yourself daily:

• Keep track of daily tasks or habits and receive reminders via email.
• Monitor financial expenses or income and receive daily summaries or alerts.
• Receive daily news or weather updates.
• Practice mindfulness or meditation by receiving daily prompts or exercises via email.
• Learn a new skill by receiving daily lessons or exercises via email.
• Learn a new language by getting one new word a day.
• Receive daily affirmations or positive messages to boost mood and self-confidence.
• Track progress on a personal or professional project and receive daily updates or reminders.
• Stay accountable to a goal or resolution by receiving daily prompts or check-ins via email.
• Receive daily prompts for creative writing or brainstorming exercises.
• Receive daily recipes or meal ideas for meal planning or inspiration.
