INTRODUCTION

Today was a Good day, though I wish I was more present.

(You know, in the moment?)

cuz.. life does go by fast, and even I struggle to stay grateful. I sometimes struggle to feel it deeply. It's no wonder gratitude is often the centerpiece of the self-help industry.

Right now, my life is full of changes:

• business is good

• mental health is good,

• money is tight, though overall health is good.

In this midst, I'm dedicating effort to print-on-demand in addition to the affiliate marketing biz.

Music has taken a backseat cuz profit margins aren't exactly there. (sad I know right.)

it's interesting how everything appears to be aligning for me, and at the right time, bringing both challenges and its fair share of progress. (TBH)

I NEED More Travel

Exploring Utah can provide a fresh perspective, inspiring creativity and problem-solving skills.

Leading to the discovery of ..you said it

..better Chrome extensions.

Being in new environments often sparks innovative ideas, and taking a break can help clear the mind.

Relaxing my mind improves my ability to extract various tools (such as from the chrome web store), that i’ll need for my increased productivity.

Experiencing different places can introduce us to new people and new insights.

Therefore, traveling can be a valuable investment in finding better Chrome extensions…

The Chrome Web Store is a powerful marketplace that helps me get more work done on my desktop computer than on my phone. It's great to have access to various extensions and apps that enhance productivity.

The history of Chrome extensions began in 2009 when Google launched the Chrome Web Store, allowing developers to create and distribute tools to enhance the browser's functionality. Over time, the best Chrome extensions have evolved to address a wide range of needs, from productivity and security to entertainment and convenience.

-Notable extensions like Adblock Plus, LastPass, and Grammarly have become essential tools for many users.

These extensions are celebrated for their ability to streamline tasks, enhance online security, and improve overall browsing experiences. Their success lies in their continuous adaptation to user needs and technological advancements.

I downloaded this Chrome extension today, and I think it will help me get more tasks done. I tend to get nerdy about efficiency, and tools like these help me take my time more seriously. With almost 10,000 reviews and a 4.8-star rating, it seems promising. We'll see how it goes. I've included a link below for easy access to the site.

However, it turns out that I don't like it because it doesn't have a web app at this time. You can download it, but it's not on the cloud, which doesn't really help me out.

Short.io is a fantastic Chrome extension that I keep front and center on my bookmarks bar. It's great for quickly creating links, and I can't say enough good things about it. I plan on upgrading to the paid version soon. Although they don't have an affiliate program, I'm happy to promote them anyway because of how useful they are.

SUBSTACK NEWSLETTER WEBSITE

I'm always intrigued by people who create cool companies and change the way we do business, like Chris Best, one of the founders of Substack.

Right now, I'm checking out Chrome extensions related to Substack. I found one called "Substack Banner Fixer" that prevents the Substack banner from reappearing when you scroll.

There are also tools like a code highlighter for Substack and "Notion of Substack," but nothing official from Substack itself yet.

It's fascinating to see how different tools evolve around these innovative platforms.

My favorite Chrome extension is Raindrop.io. It's an excellent long-term solution for keeping track of all the links I visit.

RAINDROP allows me to organize, search, and manage my bookmarks seamlessly, ensuring that I always have quick access to the websites and resources I need.
