Productivity & maintaining focus is a science. Or call it a form of art. Whatever we may call it, the fact is technology & automation has the potential to tremendously boost our productivity & focus. We researched a big chunk of the chrome webstore & after trying the top 50 extensions, here is our list of top 5 chrome extensions for maximum productivity & focus:
#5 Boomerang for gmail
Do you send a lot of emails? Boomerang chrome extension will boost your productivity & output exponentially. The features that we liked are:
- Auto-responder for emails.
- A.I based autocorrection & A.I based predictions.
- Quailty measurement through the use of A.I. which helps in writing better emails thus increasing the probability of receiveing a response.
- Scheduler: Schedule emails at a specific time on a specific day using email scheduler.
- Email engagement tracker.
#4 GrabOn Coupon Finder
Don’t ever waste time & effort on finding deals, discounts, offers, coupons & promo codes. Digging for coupons can be a very time consuming & frustrating process. Installing the GrabOn’s chrome extension blissfully automates the entire process. Decided what to buy? Just sit back & relax while the extension automatically hunts for the best coupons & applies them one by one. The manual & boring task of coupon hunting is no more required.
#3 Grammarly
This one is a no-brainer. We all make spelling mistakes, formatting mistakes & grammatical mistakes. Grammarly can be a huge relief as we don’t really need to revise our article/content 3 times before publishing. Just type it once, rectify the red underline errors & you are good to go! Grammarly tackles most issues perfectly but sometimes it may not be able to detect the error. But that’s a rare case hence Grammarly gets our full recommendation.
#2 LastPass for passwords
We all have been through this. We all know what happens when we have been trying to login from the past 15 minutes & all our hit & try passwords are wrong. In some cases even the account gets blocked after a certain number of attempts. That’s a pretty frustrating experience indeed. LastPass to the rescue. The name is self explanatory. But that’s not all. Apart from auto-saving all your passwords, lastpass syncs them accross all your devices. It also helps you create stronger passwords.
#1 BrowseBetter New Tab
