When you have a lot of things to do, the more time you can save the better. But, most of the time since you’re not aware of the tricks that can save you time, as a result, your tasks take longer to finish. There are various Gmail extensions you can use that will help you save some valuable time.

Once installed, you’ll see two blue buttons at the bottom. To the left, one that says Templates and to the right, one that says New Templates. Click on Templates and you’ll see all the templates you’ve created and just click on Use to do just that.
You have two ways you can access the New Templates option, either through this one or by clicking on the button to the right. You’ll see an icon in Chrome but it’s just to show you the extension is installed, but it doesn’t do anything.
