Boomerang is a great Gmail addon that allows you to send email later, schedule follow ups, and also hide email that you do not want to deal with today. This is great option if you get email on the weekend and you want to deal with on Monday. No problem, set it for Monday it hides the message from your inbox and the pops back in on Monday at the scheduled time.
