How to process a task-based email

- [Instructor] Now let's process an email…that will cause me to create a task reminder.…We use task reminders when we have short tasks…that are between five and 15 minutes.…They are not time sensitive.…Here's an email I received from Leslie.…Leslie's asked me to get some information to her.…Although she's given me a general idea of when it's due,…she's also said there's no rush.…Let's walk through what, when, where processing.…
