我们都希望在有限的时间内完成更多工作。为了完成您打算完成的任务，必须每天攀登和克服拖延、分心和许多其他障碍。
我们之前介绍过很多提高生产力的工具（例如番茄工作(Pomodoro Technique)法），但最好的是那些直接与浏览器绑定的工具。
Google Chrome扩展程序使您能够完全自定义您的浏览体验，但它们也可以用来让您保持专注并帮助您完成更多工作。这些是我们挑选的最佳 Chrome 扩展程序，可帮助您成为生产力机器(productivity machine)。
1. 势头
Momentum将您的启动页面从乏味的通用Google 搜索(Google search)栏（当您可以在URL中搜索时谁需要它？）相反，您会看到从Unplash和其他网站拍摄的数百张可能的图片之一，一个底部的励志谚语或报价(proverb or quote)，外面的温度和待办事项清单。
您甚至可以通过设置菜单进一步自定义Momentum 。可以将咒语设置为显示而不是通常的“早上好/下午/晚上”，您甚至可以在某些时间段启用和禁用生产力设置。
您可以单击右上角的温度以(right corner)获取下一周的预报明细。Momentum将您的启动页面变成一个指挥中心(command center)，您可以从中控制一整天。它非常适合Google Docs 高级(Google Docs power)用户。
2. 口袋
最大的干扰之一是网络上大量(sheer amount)有趣的内容。Pocket可帮助您管理在研究过程中查看所见内容的冲动，而无需打开新标签或立即阅读。
只需单击链接并选择将其保存到Pocket，点击工具栏中的图标，或点击键盘快捷键(keyboard shortcut)即可保存文章。当你完成手头的任务时，你总是可以稍后再回来阅读它。
最重要的是，Pocket会从您保存的文章中学习，并根据您的阅读历史提出您可能喜欢的推荐。
3.救援时间
RescueTime是一个扩展程序，可监控您访问的站点并根据它们是否有效对它们进行排名。例如，Facebook可能得 0 分，而像Wikipedia这样的网站可以得 7 分（因为我们都知道Wikipedia可能是盲目阅读的兔子洞。）
在一天结束和/或一周结束时，RescueTime 会(RescueTime)报告您的工作效率，并将其与您过去的工作效率进行比较。
虽然此工具可能无法严格帮助您保持工作效率，但它可以帮助您了解最浪费时间的地方并让您了解自己的浏览习惯。使用它并了解成为时间汇的网站，然后使用工具在您应该工作的一天中的几个小时内阻止这些网站。
4. 最后通行证
(Password security)在当今世界，密码安全性比以往任何时候都更加重要，但缺点是要记住所有这些长而复杂的密码。LastPass通过将您的密码要求减少到一个主密码(master password)来简化该过程。
从那时起，LastPass将在扩展程序中跟踪和存储您的所有密码。更令人印象深刻的是它不受单一平台的约束。(t bound)有一个Chrome 扩展程序(Chrome extension)是入门的好地方，但LastPass可以在所有设备和浏览器上运行。
您甚至可以使用LastPass生成几乎不受暴力攻击的极其复杂的密码。你甚至不知道密码是什么。LastPass使用AES-256 位(AES-256 bit)加密。
通俗地说，这意味着密码在输入之前要经过 14 轮不同的安全检查。如果您难以将密码记在脑海中，并且似乎永远不记得哪个密码访问了哪个站点，请使用LastPass。
5. Todoist
网络上有几十个（如果不是几百个）待办事项列表应用程序，其中大多数都非常好。如果您正在寻找准系统跟踪，您可以使用任何旧列表，甚至可以使用放在计算机旁边的一张纸。但是，如果您正在寻找更深入和更高级的控制，Todoist就是您的理想之选。
Todoist让您提前安排任务，这样您就不会在早上浪费时间列出当天需要做的事情。您还可以将项目分解为不同的类别。默认类别是Personal、Shopping、Work、Errands和 Movies to Watch，但如果这些都不符合您的需求，您可以创建更多。
您还可以将工作分配给自己或他人，并按不同的优先级对其进行标记。您甚至可以设置每天执行的任务。例如，如果您是需要
每天写一篇博文的作家，您可以创建一个(blog post)任务并安排(task and schedule)它在每个工作日重复发生。它将在您的待办事项清单上，无需您进一步输入。
使用铬
Chrome扩展最好的部分是它们中的绝大多数是完全免费的。此列表中的一些（如Todoist 和 LastPass(Todoist and LastPass)）具有高级选项，但您不必花一分钱来利用扩展程序的功能。
如果您想提高工作效率并更好地控制浏览体验，请尝试其中一些扩展程序，看看它们如何为您工作。
The Best Chrome Extensions for Productivity
We all want to get more done in the limited time we have. Рrocrastinations, distractions, and a hoѕt of other obstacles must bе climbed and surmounted day by day in order to complete the taskѕ you set out to do.
There are plenty of tools for productivity that we’ve covered before (like the Pomodoro Technique), but the best are those tied directly into your browser.
Google Chrome extensions give you the ability
to completely customize your browsing experience, but they can also be used to
keep you focused and help you get more done. These are our picks for the best
Chrome extensions that help turn you into a productivity machine.
1. Momentum
Momentum changes your start-up page from the bland, generic Google search bar (and who needs that when you can search in the URL?) Instead, you’re greeted with one of hundreds of possible images taken from Unplash and other sites, a motivational proverb or quote at the bottom, the temperature outside, and a to-do list.
You can even customize Momentum further through the settings menu. Mantras can be set to display instead of the usual “Good morning/afternoon/evening” and you can even enable and disable the productivity settings during certain periods.
You can click the temperature in the top right corner to get a breakdown of the forecast for the upcoming week. Momentum turns your startup page into a command center from which you can control your entire day. It’s perfect for Google Docs power users.
2. Pocket
One of the biggest distractions is the sheer amount of interesting content on the web. Pocket helps you manage the urge to check out something you see while researching without opening a new tab or reading it in the moment.
Just click on the link and choose to save it to Pocket, tap the icon in the toolbar, or hit the keyboard shortcut to save an article. You can always come back to it later and read it when you’ve finished the task at hand.
Best of all, Pocket will learn from the articles you save and make recommendations that you might enjoy based on your reading history.
3. RescueTime
RescueTime is an extension that monitors the sites you visit and ranks them based on whether they are productive or not. For example, Facebook might score a 0 while a site like Wikipedia can score a 7 (because we all know Wikipedia can be a rabbit hole of mindless reading.)
At the end of the day and/or at the end of the week, RescueTime reports how productive you’ve been and compares it to how productive you were in the past.
While this tool might not strictly help you
stay productive, it will help you learn where you waste the most time and keep
you aware of your browsing habits. Use it and learn the sites that become
time-sinks, and then use a tool to block those sites during the hours of the
day you’re supposed to work.
4. LastPass
Password security is more important than ever in today’s world, but the downside is remembering all of those long, complex passwords. LastPass simplifies that process by reducing your password requirements to a single master password.
From that point, LastPass will track and store all of your passwords within the extension. What’s even more impressive is that it isn’t bound to a single platform. There is a Chrome extension that’s a great place to get started, but LastPass can work across all devices and browsers.
You an even use LastPass to generate incredibly complex passwords that are nearly immune to brute force attacks. You won’t even know what the passwords are. LastPass utilizes AES-256 bit encryption.
In layman’s terms, this means the password goes through 14 different rounds of security before it is entered. If you struggle to keep your passwords straight in your head and never seem to remember which one goes to which site, make use of LastPass.
5. Todoist
There are dozens, if not hundreds, of to-do
list applications on the web, and most of them are perfectly fine. If you’re
looking for barebones tracking, you can use any old list—or even just a piece
of paper you keep beside your computer. But if you’re looking for far more
depth and advanced control, Todoist is the place to go.
Todoist lets you schedule tasks in advance so that you aren’t wasting time in the morning listing out what you need to do that day. You can also break projects down into different categories. The default categories are Personal, Shopping, Work, Errands, and Movies to Watch, but you can create more if none of those fit your needs.
You can also assign work to yourself, to
others, and label it by different priorities. You can even set a task to take
place each day. For example, if you’re a writer that needs to write a blog post
each day, you can create a task and schedule it to reoccur every weekday. It will
be on your to-do list with no further input from you.
Utilizing Chrome
The best part about Chrome extensions is that the vast majority of them are completely free. Some of those on this list (like Todoist and LastPass) have premium options, but you don’t have to spend a dime to take advantage of the functionality of the extension.
If you want to be more productive and take better control of your browsing experience, try out some of these extensions and see how they work for you.
