This week MacSparky is sponsored by MailButler. Multitasking is bad. Nonetheless, in today’s world we’re forced to to juggle business meetings, calls and emails, deadlines, and family birthdays and more. It’s easy to drop the ball. 

That’s one of the reasons I write here at MacSparky. Technology can help. If you feel overwhelmed with constant multitasking, it’s time for you to check out MailButler. It’s a multifunctional email extension, time-saver, and productivity game changer. 

With MailButler you can compose emails beforehand and schedule them to be sent on a certain day in the future. It’s a good solution for planning birthday greetings for the entire year in advance and getting them off your mind. Also, you might want to reduce the risks of forgetting about some of the open conversations you need to follow up on in case you don’t get any response. Once you’ve written your email, just tell MailButler when you want to be reminded to follow up, and the notification will appear at your preferred date and time. With MailButler you can schedule a reminder about any kind of task for each of your emails – just attach a short note to it and turn on the notification.

MailButler doesn’t stop there. It also helps you with attachments. With the “Attachment Reminder”, you will get reminders about possibly omitted email attachments. MailButler super-charges Apple Mail and helps you process your emails faster and more effectively, saving hours a day to complete other tasks. Check it out today.

This week MacSparky is sponsored by SaneBox. SaneBox is the mail service that keeps you … well … sane. With a SaneBox account you can have your email automatically sorted for you so you only see the most important email in your inbox with less important email put in other folders for later viewing. You can also take your email and defer it for as little or as much time as you want. I’m traveling this week and I deferred several less important emails to next Monday, when I’ll be in a much better position to deal with them.

Those, however, are just two features. There is so much to the SaneBox service. You can, for example, throw unwanted email into the SaneBox blackhole and you’ll never receive email from that sender again.

Between attending the Apple Developer conference and managing the law practice, this week SaneBox has really been clutch for me. It has allowed me to manage the most important email but at the same time kept me from drowning in email.

SaneBox is a great service for anybody struggling to keep up with email. I hear from listeners all the time that love using SaneBox. If email is causing you any grief, you should check out SaneBox. Use this link and get a discount and let them know you heard about it here at MacSparky.

This week MacSparky is sponsored by SaneBox, the email service that brings sanity back to email. There are so many great SaneBox features. It lets you easily defer email to the future. It follows up with you if you don’t get replies to important emails. It automatically sorts your email for you so you can deal with the urgent and save the rest for later. Best of all, this magic works with just about any email application and on any computing platform.

One feature I’ve never mentioned about SaneBox before is that it costs money. You pay for the service. In this day and age, the fact that they have a business model that doesn’t require them to sell your data to someone else is, in fact, a feature. Indeed, SaneBox is very respectful of your data. To pull off their magic tricks, they only look at the email header information (primarily they need to know who sent the email and the subject line). They don’t look at your email body and they don’t sell your data to anyone. SaneBox explains their … well … sane belief in protecting your privacy right here.

So don’t only give your email super-powers, do it with a company that respects your privacy. I’ve been a SaneBox subscriber for years and don’t know how I’d get by without it. Go check it out and use this link to get a discount off your subscription.

This week MacSparky is sponsored by Daylite, the CRM & Project Management app for teams on Mac, iPhone & iPad.

Daylite helps companies manage more leads and projects by organizing all your data so you can work more efficiently and gain valuable insights into your business. 

Recently a law firm in Georgia shared that Daylite has helped them grow from a team of 2 to 13 in just two years. By using Keywords in Daylite to tag how new lead and client heard about them, the firm was able to filter and uncover which methods worked best for attracting new clients. 

They also use Daylite to filter and identify which clients were referring them the wrong type of leads. By educating their referring clients about their services, they saw a big improvement in the type of leads they were getting, which led to more clients.

By using Daylite to capture important information, this firm was able to leverage that data and grow their business.

If you are managing a small to medium sized business, you can’t go wrong with Daylite. It works on Mac, iPad, and iPhone and gives you and your team one place to manage tasks, contacts, calendars, email, and all those other bits you need to make your business successful.
