I’ve been working remotely in a digital marketing agency for over seven years. In that time, I’ve managed campaigns, handled clients across time zones, built strategies, and grown my own blog—all from my home office.
In the last a few years, I learn that remote work isn’t easy. You don’t have a manager standing behind you. You don’t have office energy pushing you. Your success depends on how well you manage your time, focus, and systems.
That’s why I rely heavily on Chrome extensions. These tools help me stay productive, professional, and sane—and they can do the same for you.
Every tool below comes from real experience. I use them. My team uses them. And I recommend them to anyone who wants to thrive while working from home.
Here is the list of my favourite chrome extensions –
1. Grammarly
When you work remotely, your words are you. Every email, message, proposal, and blog post represents your professionalism.
Grammarly helps you sound clear, confident, and polished. I use it daily—whether I’m writing to a client or publishing content on my blog.

2. Loom
Loom lets you record your screen with your voice. I use it to:
- Explain tasks to my team
- Walk clients through reports
- Share feedback quickly
It saves me hours and builds instant trust with clients.

3. Todoist
Todoist helps you organize your day, your goals, and your deadlines. It keeps me focused and prevents important tasks from slipping through the cracks.

4. Clockify
I belive that If you don’t track your time, you can’t improve it. Clockify shows you exactly where your hours go. I use it to:
- Track client work
- Spot time-wasters
- Price projects more accurately
It turns “busy” into “productive.”

With Notion Web Clipper, you can save articles, competitor pages, ad examples, and inspiration straight into your workspace. I use it every day for content and strategy.

Momentum replaces it with a calm dashboard, your daily focus, and a gentle reminder of what matters. Every time I open a tab, I’m pulled back into intention.

9. Google Keep
Google Keep lets you capture thoughts instantly—content ideas, ad hooks, reminders—before they disappear. It’s my digital sticky note wall.
