5 Chrome Extensions to 10x Your Productivity

The average person spends 413 minutes online every day.

That's just under 7 hours a day.

And we're just talking about the average person here too.

Most likely, if you're an entrepreneur building a business online, those numbers are even higher.

As a founder, your time is your most valuable asset.

And if you're serious about taking your business to the next level, it's vital that you have "disconnected time" to think, strategize, and look after your own well-being.

While you may not be in the position (yet) to reclaim hours of your day, you can implement small changes that will decrease your screen time and free up space for more valuable endeavors.

That's why I leverage as many tools as I can to drastically reduce the time I spend online.

Today, I'm going to share with you 5 Chrome extensions that have been a game-changer for me personally.

I highly encourage you to add them to your browser. You might be shocked by the amount of focus, mental energy, and time you save.

(I'm not an affiliate for any of these tools, by the way, I just genuinely believe they can help improve your performance and save you time).

Before we dive in 🪂

I'm running a free live workshop in 4 days (limited seats available).

I'll show you how to build a community of 1+ million with 3 secrets I've learned over the last 12 years.

In the workshop I'll reveal my personal strategies for growing an audience of raving fans, plus, we'll have a Q&A where you can ask me any of your burning questions about community building.

Here is a link to sign up (join 1,200 other founders).

I'll give a $497 community growth guide to those who join live.

I hope to see you there.

Now, onto the 5 extensions that will enhance your productivity and save you time.

Freedom

*Opens browser, immediately goes to Twitter*

I do it automatically, without even thinking. The internet truly is a double-edged sword, because we're all literally one click away from a distracting dopamine hit.

Freedom.to helps me stay on task, and avoid getting sucked down the rabbit hole of "up next" when I'm online.

This powerful tool allows you to:

• Block time-wasting websites

• Be more productive

• Eliminate distractions

• Combat social media impulses

You can also set up "deep work" hours that will limit your ability to visit any website other than your approved list during certain hours.

Incredibly beneficial for anyone that wants to stay on task or finds themselves easily distracted online.

Seamless

Whether it's to cold pitch your services or discuss a strategic partnership, email outreach is an essential part of growing your business.

But finding the contact information of the person you need to speak to can be time-consuming - or worse - you may spend hours digging around and still not find the person you need to reach.

Seamless.ai is my go-to resource when I need to get in contact with someone new.

This extension allows you to:

• Find verified phone numbers and emails for anyone you need to talk to

• Find the right prospects

• Close more deals

If you are spending a good chunk of your week doing outreach, this is a game-changer for your productivity and output.

Twemex

Twemex is hands down my favorite Chrome extension.

This free extension allows you to quickly see the top tweets from your favorite people.

It feels like having a Twitter superpower.

With just a couple of quick clicks, you can instantly filter to find popular tweets from your own profile and your favorite people on the platform.

It also lets you filter out popular tweets on your timeline that you may have missed.

I can't recommend Twemex enough. It will change the way you operate on the platform.

Making your time on Twitter more efficient and effective.

Followup

Being a founder means constantly juggling 100+ to-dos. Not only does this mean that it's easy for things to slip through the cracks...

It can also mean cracking open your laptop at 1am to send a follow-up email because you just remembered how important it was, but if you wait till morning you may forget again.

That's why I love Followup.cc.

This intuitive platform allows you to set up perfectly-timed reminders while you're writing the email, that will conveniently show up right in your inbox at the pre-determined time.

Or, if you want to make the process even more seamless, you can even pre-schedule follow-ups that will send out automatically if you haven't heard back from the contact.

You also get proven email open tracking, so you know whether or not the contact has seen your email.

Leverage this powerful tool to stay on top of your emails and avoid forgetting important conversations.

Loom

We all know the feeling of "this meeting could have been an email."

I'm also pretty confident that oftentimes "this email could have been a Loom."

Writing out an in-depth email can easily take 15-20 minutes or more. Loom gives you all the advantages of a video call, without the hassle of scheduling.

• Record quick videos of your screen and send them to your team

• Delegate tasks with ease

• Share with a link

• Create a library of standard operating procedures (SOPs) recordings that can be easily referenced

Communicate quickly and eliminate any confusion with this versatile extension.

There you have it, 5 Chrome extensions that will help you drastically reduce the time you spend online and increase your overall efficiency.

Try them out for a week and then shoot me a quick message to tell me how they've helped.
