How to schedule an email to be sent in your Gmail

You may not like Gmail for its email sorting or interface, but if there's one thing you can't help but love, it's a feature that lets you schedule an email to be sent at a specific time.

Scheduling emails in Gmail makes things easier for you in many situations. For example, if you are a freelancer, live in a different time zone than your colleagues, and don't want to disturb them in the middle of the night, then Gmail definitely makes your life easier.
