For many of us, the browser has long been the main working tool, and this has its advantages and disadvantages. We can work on any computer from anywhere, but we also have to contend with many distractions. Here's how to counter them without losing motivation and inspiration with Chrome New Tab Extensions.

Momentum

Momentum calls you by name and turns your new tab into a beautiful start screen with helpful information like time and weather, spiced up with a motivating quote. Extras include a to-do list, search, and quick links that you can configure to access the resources you need (just don't add Facebook there).

Motivation

This extension will ask your date of birth and turn your browser window into an unforgiving timer that shows your age in years with an accuracy of 0, 000000001. When you look at the passing time, all the desire to waste it disappears!

Mortality

Another powerful extension that motivates you to take action. Like Motivation, Mortality shows a timer that counts your years down to milliseconds, and also displays the lived and remaining time (based on an average life expectancy of 80 years). Each circle is equal to a month of life.

Dayboard

This extension will replace your daily calendar with important tasks. When you get to work, you add five to-do's for today to your list, and you see them every time you open a new tab. What can bring more satisfaction than a check mark next to a completed task?

Be limitless

Be Limitless also invites us to set goals: the first - for the day, the second - long-term. But the extension does not stop there and analyzes how much time you spend on various sites, slipping you these statistics when you open a tab. Among other things, there are also quick notes here.

Random quote

If you prefer motivation with quotes, then you will love Random Quote. The extension shows you beautiful quotes of famous people, decorated in a minimalist style. True, in English, but this fact can also be used as a motivation to learn the language.

Empty New Tab Page

The absence of any irritants is also a kind of motivation. With this extension, when you open a new tab, you will see … a new tab! A simple blank new tab. And many do not need more for success.

Dream afar

Dream Afar does not motivate, but inspires, which is also important. Each time you open a new tab, you will enjoy the scenery of one of the most beautiful corners of our planet and, perhaps, work even harder to save up for a new trip. In addition to the beautiful picture, there is also a place on the screen for search, clock, weather, history, bookmarks and applications.

Google Art Project

Works of art inspire as much as picturesque landscapes. Thanks to a joint project between Google and various galleries around the world, you have the opportunity to admire the paintings of famous masters in new tabs. For times when you do not want to admire, there is a button with a list of frequently visited sites to quickly jump to the desired one.

Flickr Tab

Stunning photos from all over the world await you on every tab and give you a fresh dose of inspiration. Just look at them for a few seconds and keep working. The main thing is not to overuse F5 and not get stuck.

Delight

Pictures of talented photographers are great, but videos look much more impressive, you must agree. With Delight, your surfing begins with a breathtaking time-lapse of a scenic spot. If you need weather, bookmarks or applications, they are also always at hand.
