Switching from Gmail to Superhuman: How Hard Is It to Adapt?

Switching from Gmail to Superhuman can be tricky, and the learning curve makes it hard to fully adapt. Superhuman gives you a quicker inbox, AI-operated workflows, and its minimalist style of working should make your concentration last. However, learning an entirely new email platform is a time-consuming process and not everyone is willing to pay that much for it.

In the case of professionals, email is their center stage where they play their daily work. When you are already overwhelmed with hundreds of emails, a transition to a new system such as Superhuman can make you sluggish before it gives you the speed boost you crave.

The Learning Curve Behind Superhuman

Superhuman is often described as a time-saving tool; however, the time-saving mainly depends on the mastery of the system. The first activity new users do is memorizing the shortcuts, getting used to the command bar, and trying to figure out the features that differ from the current Gmail layout.

Even experienced Gmail users say that it takes days or even weeks before they feel at home. The first few encounters with a new interface and different email management style can be quite slow.

Superhuman is not an exception in this case as it also comes with a luxury monthly charge ($30/mo). This money can quickly go for many individuals or small teams, especially when their Gmail can do almost everything they need at no cost. Thus, the time spent on adaptation, combined with the cost, turns the change into a big commitment.

A Faster Way to Get the Same Results

This is exactly why Simplehuman was created. Instead of convincing you to change your platform, Simplehuman helps you work more efficiently within Gmail. You get almost all of the productivity benefits that make Superhuman so appealing, but you don’t have to start over or pay any subscription.

Simplehuman allows you to stay in the environment you have been using and are familiar with every day. There is no need for you to install a new app, go through the onboarding process, or have a complicated setup. All you have to do is install it, launch Gmail, and feel the difference right away.

With Simplehuman, you can:

  1. Use the command bar for speedy archiving, replying, snoozing, and composing of emails.
  2. Gain mastery over 100 keyboard shortcuts at your own speed, and get help from the short reminders that help you learn them naturally.
  3. Create smart snoozes and reminders in gmail so that the most important messages can come back to your inbox at the time you want them to.
  4. Unsubscribe in bulk from newsletters, get rid of the junk, and get to inbox zero faster.

And all of this work is done straight inside Gmail with the very same interface that you already trust.

Save Time and Money Without Changing Habits

Though email is bound to be faster with Superhuman, it entails a change in your working style and a sharing in the cost of the premium service. Simplehuman, on the other hand, presents you with a speedy inbox when you want it without any disturbance or additional cost.

Simplehuman performs wonders instantly simply by Gmail being the backbone. There is a no-hard learning curve, no long period for adjustment, and no costly subscription. You still have the workflow you are used to but with better speed, smarter organization and time-saving tools.

The Smarter Choice for Everyday Professionals

If on the one hand, you like the idea of Superhuman’s fast pace but on the other, you doubt whether to make the switch, then Simplehuman is just made for you. It offers:

  • The very control in the shape of command-style that is instrumental in making Superhuman fast.
  • The use of keyboards in actions that remove the need of your mouse.
  • That is to let snoozes, reminders, and inbox organization aid you in concentrating on the most important matters.
  • An experience that visually and functionally, is just like Gmail, and it is because it actually is Gmail.

Simplehuman is not in the business of turning things upside down in your working style, rather it simply makes the way you work more efficient.

Take Control of Your Gmail Today

Superhuman is quite a powerful tool, but it requires that you learn how to use it properly and for it to be cheaper for you. The speed, focus, and control that a Superhuman user gets are what you also get with Simplehuman, but all of this is done within the Gmail interface which is the same one that you always use.

Simplehuman is the way to speed up Gmail today just like numerous other smart tools power it instead of a hard learning curve so that every time you use their services, you can feel the same fast and simple experience.
