Tips & Tricks Tuesday: Prepare your email in a task to make it easier to complete

Email can often demand a lot of time. This week’s tip, shared by fabianhemmert, shows a quick way to get started with routine or planned emails. Anything to make it easier, right? 😅

I often have recurring emails to send: remind my students to do X every semester, ask my landlord for report Y, and the likes.

I use RTM’s URL field in recurring tasks for that.

Clicking “mailto:” links in the URL field, my computer will open a ready-to-send (or tweak) email with a preset recipient, subject and content. Just what I need!

You will find plenty of tools on the web to turn recipient, subject and body into a mailto:-link. For example, a very good “Mailto Link Generator” is mailtolink.me
