It's become commonplace to digitally ignore each other. And we have so many ways to do it—phone calls, texts, social media. But at work, everyone's favorite way to ignore people is through email.

Or use automation to make yourself do it.

Just email the person back. It's really not that hard.

If you find yourself using your inbox as a to-do list, there's a better way. With the help of this Zap, any time you star an email in Gmail, it will automatically create a to-do item for you in Todoist.

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.
