Google has a scripts library called Google Scripts where independent contributors write useful scripts that are free to use. Luckily, there is a script called Gmail Delay Send that lets you schedule emails for a later time with a simple trick.

This means that once you authenticate the script, it will be able to access your account so your scheduled emails could be sent. To be able to authenticate, you must be logged in to the account where you want the feature enabled.
Tip: Sometimes the script might not lead you to the login screen, especially on Safari web browser. It is recommended to login to your Gmail account first and then click on the link provided above.
Once authenticated, make sure the “On” option is selected against “Enable”. There are a few other features that you may want to enable or disable depending on your liking. And finally, click “Save Preferences” button.

For example, if you want to schedule the email for 5pm on the same day, you will simply add “@5:00pm” without the quotation marks. You can add date or day as well. For example, @Tuesday 12:30am” or “@20th 9:05pm” etc.The third step is to save the email instead of saving.
