The 8 most useful Chrome extensions for work

Google Keep

A great tool for organized Chrome users. The basic features of Google Keep include creating notes, to-do lists, and is also used to store images and web pages. If you don't like creating notes on your computer or phone, you'll appreciate the voice recording that transcribes spoken word to text. A nice addition is the color-coded note labeling and tagging.

In addition, you can create reminders and alerts on all notes and to-do sheets. This is where Google Keep acts as your guide. Simply create a list of details you want to follow and the moment you start filling them in, Google Keep will automatically switch to the list you created and guide you through the next steps.

Clockify Time Tracker

An extension called Clockify Time Tracker for Chrome helps you keep track of the time you spend on various tasks. It works on the same principle as the app of the same name.

Have you ever wanted to know how much time you spend on social media, cooking, sleeping or working each day? Are you planning to start exercising more and don't know where to save time for it? Then Clockify Time Tracker is perfect for you... That you don't know where to save your free time? Google has also prepared for this scenario and has developed two guides on how to invest your time in the best possible way. You can choose from the student's guide and freelancer's guide.

StayFocusd

The Clockify Time Tracker extension is certainly related to StayFocusd as well. If you've been inspired by one of the guides and decided to use your time more efficiently, then comes step number two: making your plan happen. There are plenty of temptations on the internet that threaten your productivity. Whether it's Facebook, YouTube, or Reddit, set a time limit in the StayFocusd extension that you want to dedicate to that website (like 10 minutes page/day). You can then visit this page during your work, but you can only spend the time you specify on it for the whole day. Then it will be blocked until the next day. In addition, the extension will prevent you from adjusting this time in any way.

Vimium

Using keyboard shortcuts instead of the mouse? Installing the Vimium extension will make the previously almost unused keyboard an indispensable helper. So what new features does it bring? The "J" and "K" keys are now used to move up and down, the "O" key to simplify access to history and bookmarks, and the familiar "Shift + F" shortcut to search the page.

Win the Day

Set Win the Day to achieve your goals. Simply enter your goal and completion date into the extension. To make it easier to complete large goals, Win the Day allows you to set "milestones" so you can see your progress. If you don't currently have a goal you'd like to achieve, Win the Day can be used to create new habits, for example.

Productivity Tracker

What day of the week is your most productive? Are you more productive at the end of the month or more at the beginning of the month? Productivity Tracker tracks the number of mouse strokes and clicks you make within Chrome. It then projects the data into a graph. It's easy to see that a day spent surfing YouTube won't result in record-breaking clicks.

Strict Workflow

Are you familiar with a time management technique called the Pomodoro productivity technique? It divides your productive time into 25-minute intervals separated by short five-minute breaks throughout your day. Strict Workflow is based on this technique and guides you through the entire process. So you don't have to set an alarm every 25 minutes!

Save to Pocket

Have you come across an article at work that you'd like to read in peace? Save it to Save to Pocket. Your employer will be happy to know you're being productive at work and you can read it in peace on your way home, at home or while waiting for an appointment. Save to Pocket also syncs across all your devices.
