Going Google

Tired of remembering to send emails? Fed up of waking up at 5AM to send out absentee lists for the day? Why not add the Chrome extension, mxHERO? Your life will be changed!

Go to the Chrome Web Store and add “mxHero.”

Click on the Free button. And, choose Add.

Now, you can compose a message and choose from one of several options. Click on the mxHero icon at the bottom of a compose message to get these options.

• Use to track clicks on links in your email
  
• Choose send later to have message sent at a specific time
  
• If someone doesn't reply in a certain time, will resend message
  

Once you have chosen your options, you can press send. It will send you confirmation of your sent messages.

That's it! #lifesaver
