Computer, laptop, tablet, smartphone is not device just for one purpose. It can be used for work and fun. Under fun I mean on all stuff unrelated to work, not just funny things.

Since we use computer for both things, often is hard keep concentration on work. Ads, related articles, similar stuff - everything that is made to keep us longer on site. This mean short 5min break from work can turn into 20min break and we will hard notice that. Later this break can go into even bigger.
There are some addons for browsers which can help us keep concentration on work. It actually block some features in browser but it is how it can help us.

Intention is addon which shows you how many times you visited sites and how many times you already spend there. Some people are shocked when they see they were already 7 times and spend over 1.5 hour on Reddit or Youtube.


Tab Limiter - people say we need more tabs since we work multitasking. That is true but you don't need 11 tabs often and 3 are youtube, facebook, news portals, reddit. Decide how many tabs is neccesary for work and rest will addon close after warning.



How do you keep stay concentrate on work?

This plugin will not stop you do anything but it surprise you how much time you spend on some site and you lose time. Better do some workout or something useful.
Plugin name is Web Time Tracker and it will show your browsing habits on chart. Chart will show you how much time you spend on some site. It is availble for Chrome. YOu can find similar things for other browsers to.

I am little afraid but I think I will need it. I had sense how I spend to much time on news portals and watching series. Maybe this will open my eyes.

I am currently using the pomodro timer for spending time on task one at a time. That is the only method that worked out for me. All other methods got me more distracted. I will someday write article on pomodro and it's similar tools. Maybe I have written one already.

I just find site. Is there some plugin for Edge or Chrome which will block other browsers to be open or programs?

I think there is some plugin named social blocker that blocks social sites for time specified by you. And also limit how many tabs you can open.

And also limit how many tabs you can open.

This can be done with Tab Limiter mentioned in first post.
