Quick tip of the dayHave you sent an email to everyone meant for one person? Well, Gmail has the ability to unsend an email by adjusting one setting before writing your email. Tap or click here for the exact steps. This message recall will also allow you to modify spelling errors, incorrect recipients, subject lines and even append forgotten attachments. Be sure to adjust the setting to a higher number than the default setting of five seconds. Let’s face it; five seconds isn’t even enough to realize you made an error, let alone hit the unsend button. Thankfully, Gmail settings provide the option of pausing an email delivery for up to 30 seconds. |

AND FINALLY ...Ever heard of JRR Token? It’s a new cryptocurrency named after the author of the beloved Lord of the Rings franchise. 🧙 (His last name is Tolkein, making the crypto’s name a pun.) We’re not sure if the author’s estate gave its blessing, but one of the actors gave it a shout-out on his Cameo page. (That’s a website where celebrities make personal shout-outs for cash.) It looks like the folks behind JRR Token paid him around $150 on Cameo to promote the fantasy-inspired coin. 🧚 Want to learn more about cryptocurrency? Check out my crypto 101 eBook here! 💸 |
