There's no denying it - working from home can be a difficult task. Especially if your work relies on the internet. The web is filled with temptations - a quick visit to Facebook or Twitter may not seem like much. But the hours of lost work start to build up. If you're new to working from home, then we suggest you try these useful Chrome extensions to stay on task.
OneTab
Have multiple browser windows open with procrastination worthy web pages? Use OneTab to cut them down to size. This useful extension takes any tabs in a browser window and stores them in the app page. If you wish to see your tabs again, then you just have to click restore all - and all your pages are back in order. It even works for pinned tabs too.
Marinara
Pomodoro is one of the best productivity methods out there - and is a great way to approach homeworking. But using a normal timer can be tricky, especially if you're multitasking on the computer. Thanks to Marinara - you don't have to manage kitchen timers. Simply start the Pomodoro timer and start working, you will be notified when it's time to work, when you need a short break - or a long break.
Block Site
We all have those websites we like to visit but really, really shouldn't - if we want to be productive at least. Reddit, Twitter - even online UK casinos can be a serious time sink. Thankfully, you can use Block Site to eliminate the temptation. Simply build your list of blocked sites and you're done. If you submit to your temptations, you will be stopped in your tracks. You can even set times for when these pages become available again. For example, if your working day ends at 5pm, set your sites to become available around that time.
LastPass
Remembering internet passwords can be a troublesome task. Especially if you have to reset the password to something new. LastPass does all the remembering for you, storing your data in a secure location. Best of all, your login details will autofill when you visit a site. If you need to come up with a new password, then you can use the generate secure password feature. This creates a random password that can be instantly stored to your LastPass account
