Distraction blockers Do you want to get things done but there are just too many unseen memes and you can almost hear Instagram and Facebook luring you in? These four Chrome extensions for productivity will help you. All of them are completely free.

68. Strict Workflow

“Enforces a 25min/5min workflow: 25 minutes of distraction-free work, followed by 5 minutes of break. Repeat as necessary.”

An amazing extension that will never let you rest when you are supposed to work. In the settings, add the websites you cannot visit, set the times for work and rest, and activate the plug-in by simply clicking a button. Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube will never distract you again. This is hands down one of the best productivity extensions for Chrome.

69. Marinara: Pomodoro Assistant

“Time management assistant.”

Set the focus time, short and long pauses, activate the extension and it will inform you when the working time is over and you need to have a rest. Compared to Strict Workflow, you cannot define the websites that should be blocked and you can simply deactivate the extension by clicking it, which might not be the best choice for those of us with little self-control.

70. Forest: stay focused, be present

“Stay focused in a pleasant way.”

This extension will help you be more productive in an engaging, playful way. Set the timer and when the time is over, a tree will grow. You can grow your own forest by just working. The extension is free, though there are two paid options: you can either donate and your money will be spent on planting a real tree (how awesome is that??) or you can earn virtual coins (for working thoroughly and growing your own virtual forest) that will be used for the same cause. A wholesome way to work and help the environment!
