A major chunk of the internet is a huge distraction. One moment you are vigorously working on your college assignment, and the next you are binge-watching slime videos. To say nothing of the notifications from social networks, and several other distractions that keep you away from what you really must be doing and consequently it takes a toll on productivity.
Now, to help you fight the battle, there are several extensions available. With the help of these tools, you can stay more focused and less distracted. So without further ado, let’s go through the different Google Chrome extensions to bust distractions and bolster productivity.
- OneTab
Instead of getting stuck under the debris of all the open tabs, often in a couple of different windows, just get this extension. Whenever you get overwhelmed with a lot of tabs, just hit the OneTab icon and transform all of them in a list form. If you wish to access the listed tabs, just restore them.
This extension helps you save up to ninety-five percent memory as the number of open tabs will decrease. Avoid the clutter and boost your productivity with OneTab.
- StayFocused
StayFocused allows you to set time limits for the websites you spend a lot of time on. This extension is not rigid and provides a little leeway.

All-in-all, this extension is pretty handy in keeping you from wasting too much time on your frequently visited sites.
