15+ Chrome extensions & Google Sheet Add on that really helps me everyday, time & energy.

Sometime I wondered how people who have lot of responsibilities managed their task, time and focused on right things. Mindset, Tools, System(process), Strategy and Data. Am a big believer of everything we do, can be improved by using mix of this things. 

You would have seen in your job requirements and also some advices like below .

  • Mindset – Broad, Agile, Holistic, Critical thinking, etc
  • Tools – Depending on the job set (Usually for data analyst, it starts with excel and reaches until Data engineering tools)
  • System/Process – Project/Task management tools, Approaches we take like Agile, Lean.   
  • Strategy – Conventional from the experience and unconventional from the Personal wisdom 
  • Data – Things to track, monitor, take decisions, etc. 

All the below may not be suitable for everyone but I use it minimum once in a week for different purpose

Unsplash – Best Chrome extension

Damn! why? Starting with no benefits to the work but making mind fresh with the different nature images from parts of the world. It always remind before I start the work or after or middle of stress that the LIFE DOESN’T ENDS HERE BABE. We have lot of things to experience and see! 

So that’s my motivator. The pic below is from my unsplash and from my travels.

Best Chrome extension

Not for non-technical people but who are aspire to become one and some one who is curious how different things are working. Been like almost 5+ years, there wasn’t a single day I didn’t use that (If I have opened my laptop). This is something like you want to find a really interesting person and look for her social media profile. SNEEKY 😄 So I use this to check the technology behind different websites. I can say more than my developers, I know the different technologies used in websites BUT I DO NOT KNOW how to use them as my developers. 

It helps me to watch the trends, the great things and other info to make my decisions on tech stack. So when my developers say something, I have rough information why different things are used and who have used them before.
