For taming the inbox shrew, try:
- Snooze Email, which temporarily removes a message from your inbox and returns it at a time of your choosing.
- Hiver, a tool that “enables collaboration on shared email accounts through notes, labels and assigned tasks.”
To stay on task and avoid online distractions, consider:
- Just Read, an extension that removes page styling, ads, pop-ups and comments—leaving strictly the plain text you should be focusing on, you easily distracted rascal, you.
- StayFocusd, which “restricts the amount of time you can spend on time-wasting websites.” (Whether this app’s creators consider technicolor pooches, bouncing felines or a website that just changes colors every time you click to be “wastes of time” was unclear at the time of publication.)
For writing and taking notes, gives these tools a whirl:
- Evernote Web Clipper, an app that enables you to “clip any article or page to a specific notebook and assign tags, highlight key sections and share links.”
- Google Keep, a handy little widget that “captures notes, lists and photos.” This one also records voice memos, so you won’t forget the ferret’s fungus medication—again.
