Enhance Focus on Chrome with the Limitless Productivity Tracker
Note: Limitless is no longer in service. Check out this post for more Chrome extensions for productivity.
It’s challenging to stay focused when working online. With so much to see, do, read, and watch, productivity can easily decline if you’re not disciplined enough – something that applies to most of us.
If disconnecting from the internet completely isn’t an option, consider tracking the time spent on websites using an extension like Limitless.
Limitless is a Chrome extension that automatically tracks the websites you visit and logs the time spent on each one. It categorizes these websites and informs you if you’re spending too much time on distractions, such as online shopping, instead of focusing on work-related tasks.
Additionally, Limitless replaces Chrome’s default New Tab page with statistics displayed over beautiful, calming images. Let’s explore how Limitless works.
Track Your Website Usage
After installing Limitless on Chrome, you’ll be prompted to input your name and set daily and yearly goals. These goals will occasionally be shown to you when opening a New Tab, accompanied by words of encouragement.
Once configured, Limitless will begin tracking the time spent on each website automatically.
Limitless automatically categorizes the websites you visit, providing a detailed analysis of the time spent on each category. However, automatic categorization may sometimes misclassify a work-related website as non-productive.
No need to worry – you can edit the categories to ensure more accurate tracking and better insights into your productivity.
This feature is particularly useful for social media marketers or digital marketers who need to spend time working on platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
Another helpful feature is the Scratchpad, which allows you to quickly jot down notes or thoughts without worrying about losing them in one of your many productivity tools. Any text entered is automatically saved when you click outside the text box.
At the end of the day, Limitless provides a summary of how much time you were distracted and offers tips for managing distractions.
Limitless is designed with the modern attention span in mind. If you need help managing your Facebook browsing habits, this extension can help you track your online time and adjust your habits accordingly.
