How?
Put everything possible on it. Spend heavily. Eat out a lot. And kids are expensive (travel ball, tutoring, music lessons). Have full season tickets to Padres. Probably spend $200 at each game. Go to a lot of concerts.

I love these statements...can you list specifically what Outlook does that Gmail doesn't? And please do not respond if you are one of those people who CCs themselves on their sent emails so it all shows up in your inbox.
TBF, Outlook has been around longer.Quote:
I agree. Gmail is putrid. Can't believe they can't just rip off outlook.
IntegrationCapCity12thMan said:.
- Google/Gmail not being "integrated"/"jumping back and forth"
Not sure what your definition of integrated is, but the side panel in Gmail allows for your calendar to be displayed in the same window as your email. Likewise, from your calendar if you need to email the attendees of a certain event, just click the event and then the email icon.
- appointment availability - see above screen shot. The appointment request shows the Agenda for that appointment day. Note it shows meetingA and meeting B are at the same time.
- Calendar accept - I would setup a filter to label appointment invites with a label, then once you have read it, just click the archive button on the mail. Once click and it removes it from the inbox, but keeps the custom label on it so you can find it later. A cluttered inbox is more about lack of using labels and filters than it is a feature shortcoming.
- Unread list - would recommend you look at changing your gmail inbox to "Unread first" mode, since this is "the most common filter everyone uses" unless you're the type that keep large amounts of unreads in your inbox. This would allow you to maintain those as a priority. If you don't want to do that, you can - rather than type "is:unread" every time, is type that once, save it as a bookmark. Click the bookmark to get that list when you need it. It's one click.
- Reply box issue - I don't see this behavior. Depending on which email in the thread you click, it just pops the reply box inline and I don't have to scroll. I believe this is because you might not be in conversational view. When in conversational view, lets say in a thread with 24 emails, if you reply to email #16, your reply shows below #16 and you don't have to scroll.
HTH
From the calendar, just add a guest/invitee to the appointment. It's pretty simple.Quote:
- There is no way to forward an appointment to anyone. No shortcut or link is provided so I have to go find the appointment I've already accepted somewhere in my Inbox and forward from there. DUMB.
can't help with what you feel is efficient. There is certainly an "Agenda" section on the mobile google calendar app...and on the native iOS Calendar app. Not sure why you are looking at an agenda to tell you that you have a conflict.Quote:
I see that now but I think that's not as efficient as Outlook which tells me outright I have a conflict so I know to resolve it. And then on mobile version there is no Agenda section so I have no idea if I have a conflict or not.
Then create a filter to remove them as soon as you get them. The event gets put on your calendar anyway and you can accept/decline from there. Saves you from having to "bounce back and forth", doesn't it?Quote:
I've never had to go back and look at one in my entire career.
Right, agreed. Make a shortcut (its now one "button"). Once in this Unread view, click your Inbox again on the left (one click) and you are back to your full inbox. No difference in clicks.Quote:
I just want to be able to one click a button and just show my Unread email and then one click in back to full Inbox.
Yes there are "shortcut boxes" at the bottom of the entire email. Did you know there are also buttons in the top right of each email so you don't have to scroll?Quote:
Reply, Reply All, and Forward shortcut boxes default to end of the email which makes them useless.

is there really a definition of "paycheck to paycheck" in these polls? seems to be up to interpretation.
the oft quoted article earlier in this thread, where the guy maxed out all his retirements and savings vehicles each month, but "had barely anything left over" is a good example. That ain't paycheck-to-paycheck.
No doubt most people are terrible at saving but these website surveys are typically garbage.

- After accepting or declining appointments, the appointments do not automatically disappear. They just pile up in your inbox. Outlook automatically deletes the appt after you accept or decline it.

this is a stupid feature, sometimes I want to go back and see what I recently accepted without having to comb through the calendar trying to find it
That discussion reminded me of many I have with brother-in-law who thinks nothing of spending an hour telling me how I work my television remote incorrectly.Sea Speed said:
I've never cared enough about email to have an in depth discussion about it, let alone take multiple screenshots or type out a laundry list of things that I find annoying or cumbersome. Wow.
