Actually, I have a theory about that; I reckon the brain is like a hard drive. As a hard drive gets older, it fills with more and more data until it&#8217;s so full that accessing specific pieces of that data becomes more and more of a chore. So maybe it&#8217;s the same with the human brain.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I digress. My point is that remembering things, such as appointments and events, doesn&#8217;t get any easier with age. Some might turn to apps such as Sticky Notes for help, but if you have a Gmail account, there&#8217;s a simple answer using a Gmail feature known as &#8220;Schedule send&#8221;.<\/p>\n<h2>How To Use Gmail&#8217;s Schedule Send<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Go to your Gmail and compose a new email to yourself<\/li>\n<li>When you&#8217;ve completed the message, click the little triangle adjacent to the &#8220;Send&#8221; button and then click &#8220;Schedule send&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/davescomputertips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Gmail-Schedule-Send.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-151696\" src=\"https:\/\/davescomputertips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Gmail-Schedule-Send.png\" alt=\"gmail-schedule-send\" width=\"591\" height=\"378\" srcset=\"https:\/\/davescomputertips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Gmail-Schedule-Send.png 591w, https:\/\/davescomputertips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Gmail-Schedule-Send-350x224.png 350w, https:\/\/davescomputertips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Gmail-Schedule-Send-150x96.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 591px) 100vw, 591px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Pick a time and date, and when satisfied, click the <strong>Schedule send<\/strong> button<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/davescomputertips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Gmail-Pick-Date-and-Time.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-151697\" src=\"https:\/\/davescomputertips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Gmail-Pick-Date-and-Time.png\" alt=\"gmail-pick-date-and-time\" width=\"524\" height=\"415\" srcset=\"https:\/\/davescomputertips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Gmail-Pick-Date-and-Time.png 524w, https:\/\/davescomputertips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Gmail-Pick-Date-and-Time-350x277.png 350w, https:\/\/davescomputertips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Gmail-Pick-Date-and-Time-150x119.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 524px) 100vw, 524px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s it!
