Productivity Extensions for Chrome



I just use RescueTime. It's a little background app that tracks sites you visit and applications you use, and is configurable to allow you to specify what is considered distracting and productive. It does a pretty good job determining this with the sites and apps it already knows about, though.

I use it as well, it's great. How many hours per week are you racking up front of the PC? I'm averaging 70 hours a week, didn't realise it was that much. Of course just around 60% is productive according to RescueTime

I use it a little too, I'm just not that comfortable with all that data being sent to their servers, but it's probably the best tool of the sort. Cheaper than Chrometa which is similar as well. I kind of wish there was a local version where you could just update a database of programs or something, but having it all online is the easiest way to do everything.

I only have it installed on the one computer I consider my "work" PC, so I don't know what total time is. It's probably not more than 50ish hours, though since a wife and a couple of days of classes each week takes a chunk out of my computer time.

Yeah, that sort of bothered me also, but I'm not supposed to be torrenting or fapping when I'm on my work PC anyway. A bit of paranoia makes it like it was when I worked in corporate, and you knew they were monitoring your activities. Gives me a little xtra incentive to do what is actual work. Unless...it's my niches they're after...
 
Astrid for task lists and Evernote for note taking and such.
Accessible by Chrome and/or Android.

I never took the time to really get invested in RescueMe, but I'm tempted to give it another shot.
