If you find yourself being distracted while working online, try downloading StayFocusd, a Chrome extension that will limit the time you spend surfing websites that don't help you get the job done.
StayFocusd simply works by allowing you to set a limit to the time you spend on certain sites or sub-domains. You can do this quickly by clicking on the StayFocusd icon that is installed on the browser, or enter the Options area to specify more advanced limitations.
Once you have chosen the area you want to block, StayFocusd will count down the time you have left to browse it. Of course, you can set different limitations for different sites, and leave certain paths untouched so, for instance, you can block Google Reader, but not Gmail.
StayFocusd also has a number of other options that make the whole extension a lot of fun. The Nuclear Option unconditionally blocks all of websites except ones that are on your allowed list, or even the entire internet. If you're feeling really masochistic, you can activate Require Challenge, which will require you to carry out a little challenge before allowing you to modify the settings.
StayFocusd is an excellent way to make you more productive - but just be careful of the super-strict settings!
