10 Best Chrome Extensions for Authors


Don’t waste your time online.
As an author, you only have so much time and you can’t spend it all hunting down files, flipping through photo albums, and trying to track down that one website you saw a few years ago that suddenly disappeared from your bookmarks.
You are a writer. You should be writing. You should be blogging on your professional author website.
Here are ten Chrome extensions that will help spike your productivity.
1. Evernote Web Clipper
We’ve raved about Evernote in the past. Industry leaders like Michael Hyatt swear by it. It’s easier than ever to use the powerful program. The Evernote Web Clipper extension allows you to highlight text from the web and instantly add it to an Evernote folder. You can save an entire web page with a click. Just say yes. You’ll be surprised how much you use it.
2. Dropbox
Every employee at Author Media has a Dropbox account. We’re not part of an affiliate program (maybe we should be!), we simply believe in the flexibility that Dropbox offers users. I can upload a file from the West Coast and instantly, my assistant can access it from a few thousand miles away. The Chrome extension makes it easier than ever to access files. Dropbox is free, but only to a certain limit.
3. TimOut
Ever feel like you are doing too many things at the same time? Like your multitasking has gotten so out of hand that you can’t even remember what you were supposed to be doing in the first place? It happens. All the time. Enter TimOut and the pomodoro technique. The idea is to spend 25 minutes on a specific task, then 5 minutes on a short break, followed by 15 minutes of a longer break. Many authors and business people swear by the pomodoro technique. Maybe it’s time you give it a go.
4. TweetDeck
Serious about Twitter? Install TweetDeck, Twitter’s application for managing your account deftly. You can follow hashtags, schedule posts, shorten links, and tweet to your heart’s content. TweetDeck makes managing your account easy. Just make sure it doesn’t manage you.
5. AdBlock
AdBlock is the most popular Chrome extension. If you have research to do on the internet, cut back on your distractions. With AdBlock, it’s like the ads aren’t even there. Great for your time and your wallet.
