10 Google Chrome Extensions That Will Change Your Life

2. StayFocused

This extension is aimed at making you more productive at work or when you're studying for that final exam. StayFocused is meant to increase your productivity by limiting the amount of time that you can spend on time-wasting websites like Facebook, Twitter, Reddit and anything basically. I mean we all set out to try and be productive online but when Candy Crush is at your fingertips why not spend a few hours trying to get to the next level then annoying everyone when you invite them to play with you on Facebook.What the extension does is help you stay focused on work by restricting the amount of time you can spend on time-wasting websites. Once your allotted time has been used up, the sites you have blocked will be inaccessible for the rest of the day. It's very flexible as it allows you to block or allow entire sites, specific subdomains, specific paths, specific pages, even specific in-page content (videos, games, images, forms, etc). This would even be the ultimate tool for parents not wanting their kids to stay on pages for hours on end. It even includes a 'nuclear option' which will block down a series of websites which you choose for a certain number of hours, there's even a large button which says 'NUKE 'EM' so you really stay focused.
