Laura Mae Martin: What's your favourite Gmail inbox type, and why?
I'm illiterate when it comes to cell phones can you help me or send me the right direction of somebody from Google that can help me. My phone has been compromised along with a lot of my apps. I play games online to make money and lately none of my games are being tracked to free cash and I just found out that all the games I'm playing for tap Joy are attributed to tap Joy to attribute to Google. Can you help me to stop this issue or could you direct me to somebody from the IT department that can help me out so my gave me money can get attributed to the correct app so I can get paid?

How do you recommend using Google Sites to increase productivity, collaboration and wellbeing? I would love Sites to be highlighted. Thank you!
I would love to hear this too
I am a little obsessed with Google Calendar, and she has did an epic blog in 2022 on it and she mentioned the use of focus time - this was what really what changed the game for me in terms of my productivity. I sometimes feel its one of the unsung heroes of productivity. I would love to hear more on how you can wield calendar to increase productivity
Thanks for this question @candice! I just sent you an email with a follow up question, as we'd like to bring this one to Laura's attention 😀
Amazing 😁, thanks so much @Lauren_vdv
hola, tendran link del branding de google.
How can I strike a balance between maximizing productivity and maintaining my mental wellbeing, especially in a fast-paced work environment like Google?"
Is there a paper planner on the market that you would recommend?
@Lauren_vdv Will there be an auxiliary feature in Gmail in the future, such as replying with artificial intelligence (accelerating communication) based on the content of the incoming e-mail?
Myself Dinesh Singh thakur I have an idea for the Google it is a game by playing this game we can promote our own Google products such as Google Maps Google pay and the shop ratings which are registered unto the Google Maps and Google Pixel phone or tabs where the gap game can be played like if the user is playing using Google Pixel more points compared to the other products like I will explain the game
The game the game the user is the user playing you need to download the location mapping into his phone you need to explore the map like we based upon the location will give the give the Challenge for the users so the bay and the user should follow the map wherever the Google Map takes if as for the map if you want to drink the water he can find the shop which is resistor and the Google he can go there and if you buy the water bottle using the Google pay you will get the extra points think that if he giving the star ratings to the user best thoughts even the he will get the points click until unless Computing the quest the how many points he will get based upon the location totally game is based on the internet for the more idea peace contact
Hi
I have suggested to my son that he tries GW as a collaboration tool between himself and 5 colleagues. However, we are concerned about the switch from emails and domains currently on GoDaddy and we want to make sure the migration is seamless and robust. Is there a process which allows this migration process to be automated? Or at least easy?
Hi all,
Thank you for the great questions for Laura! Please keep them coming. And in case you missed the first three editions of Laura Mae Martin's monthly productivity column on the Workspace blog, you can catch up on them here:
1. Because you asked: How Google Calendar can help boost your productivity
2. Because you asked: How to create a workflow dashboard with Gmail
3. Because you asked: Balancing productivity and wellbeing
Well that answered my question! LOL
Why doesn't Task in Spaces not have tag/color coding or priority marking? We can't assign things to our team based on priority inside of spaces for example 'Urgent', 'Important', 'Get to/Project' ??? WHYYY I don't want to have to get Asana, Trello or GQueue, these things are basic for a supposed productivity feature.
Thanks
