We've all nodded along when someone says we need to work smarter, not harder. But what does that mean, in practical terms? Computer programmers have an answer with a concept they use to write more efficient code: Don't Repeat Yourself (DRY).

Don't Repeat Yourself: Get More Done with the DRY Principle

When a message arrives in your inbox from an important client, you want to get that action item out of your email and onto your to-do list as quickly as possible. Use this Zapier automation to turn emails into to-do's in a flash. After you set it up, whenever you add a label (like "urgent" or "due today") to a new email, Zapier will add this email to a to-do list in Basecamp. Then, take a minute and revel in the calmness of your inbox.

One of the most popular email services, Gmail keeps track of all your emails with threaded conversations, tags, and Google-powered search to find any message you need.
