Tech Tip of the Week - Chrome Extension to Stay Focused

Are you looking for ways to keep your child more focused when they are working on their chromebooks?  Here are two Chrome extensions on our approved list that are available for students to install. These extensions are free for everyone so feel free to install them for yourself if you have a personal Google account and need a little help keeping focused.




Stay Focusd - StayFocusd is a productivity extension for Google Chrome that helps you stay focused on work by restricting the amount of time you can spend on time-wasting websites.





Strict Workflow - Strict Workflow is a productivity extension for Google Chrome that enforces a 25min/5min workflow: 25 minutes of distraction-free work, followed by 5 minutes of break.
