Tab Snooze

This one is awesome if you’re like me and tend to have fifty plus tabs open at once. This extension lets you put a tab to “sleep” until the time you choose and then it “wakes” it up at the time set. Easy and extremely helpful, especially to keep your computer running smoother without the 50+ tabs slowing it down.

Google Dictionary

This one seems pretty self-explanatory; ever reading an article for your class and you come across a word you don’t know? So you open a new tab to look it up. But now you’re in a new tab and you’re distracted, so suddenly you’re scrolling through Tumblr and you don’t even remember why? Just me? Well, this little guy lets you stay inside your tab to look up the word, get definitions and synonyms.. Little things like this are really helpful to stay on task! 

Dualless

Sometimes, you just need two windows open at the same time without having to do a bunch of adjusting and fumbling. This extension lets you do it in two clicks. Pretty convenient and helpful, if you ask me.

Forest: stay focused, be present

This thing is so simple and so helpful to keep me on task. You add websites to a blocklist that you don’t want to get distracted by while you work. Then you pick a tree, set the timer, and go. The tree grows as you work. If you visit one of the websites on the blocklist and “give up,” it dies. It adds a sense of accomplishment while also keeping you on task. 

Diigo Web Collector - Capture and Annotate

The last one is one of my favourites. It allows you take an article and highlight over it, add “sticky notes,” and annotations. It has an outline sidebar that lets you navigate through your highlights and annotations. It saves everything into your “library” that you can access later. It has various plans, but so far I have found the free version to be adequate for my basic needs. :)
