9 hidden Chrome features guaranteed to make your life easier: 🖥

Tab Groups:

I've got a bad habit and I'm guessing you do as well.

Too Many Open Tabs!

Tab Groups are an easy way to still keep them open and get organized at the same time.

• Select multiple tabs
• Right-click
• Add tabs to a new group

Expand & retract as needed.
Control Audio / Video playback:

If you're working in one tab while listening to music or watching a video in another, there's no need to navigate away to make adjustments.

Pause, skip to the next track, adjust volume, and more by clicking the music note icon in the menu bar.
Custom search engines:

Turn your address bar into a search engine for basically any site with a "search" function.

Go to a site of your choice
Search for a topic
Copy the URL
Head to settings>Search engine>Site search>Add

Here it is in action:
Keyboard Shortcuts for extensions:

Did you know you can set up Keyboard shortcuts for all of your Google Chrome extensions?

Just enter the URL below and you can do exactly that.

chrome://extensions/shortcuts

Here I'll set one up to quickly access Similarweb on any page:
Pinned Tabs:

Do you have a few sites you visit all the time?

Try out "pinned tabs."

Right-click the tab
Select "pin"
Boom!

The tab is reduced in size and pinned to the left side of your screen.

Close Chrome? No problem.

Pinned tabs reappear each time you open your browser.
Bookmark tabs into folders:

I love bookmarks––maybe a little too much...

I'm always running out of room & end up fighting with myself over which ones make the cut to live on my screen.

No more.

• Right-click the window
• Bookmark all tabs
• Create folder
• Done!
Sharing:

Quickly share links, cast to devices, create QR codes, and more.

Head to your address bar
Click the "share" icon
Select your choice and you're done.

It's that easy.
Startup Pages:

When it comes to working, I have a few pages I need to have open every day.

Rather than manually typing them in each day, I have my browser set to open them automatically.

Open the pages you wish to see.

Head to settings>On startup>Open specific>Use current
Mute Tabs:

There aren't many things I find more annoying than when a site starts randomly playing a video with sound.

Suddenly, your work is interrupted by an ad for the latest widget you can't live without.

Find the tab with the 🔉 icon
Right-click
Mute site
Get back to work!
That's it for today!

Hopefully, you learned something new!

4/ Where you are -> Where you're going:

•Be consistent
•Set higher standards
•Learn to say "no" more
Success isn't a mistake.

8 steps to build the life you want. 🧵

Clock In:

It's time to go to work.

There are no magic bullets & "get-rich-quick" doesn't exist in the real world.

Immerse yourself in learning, have a bias toward action, be willing to do what others won't.

Do this & you won't need to look for results, they'll find you.

Work from the top down:

The fastest way to get from where you are to where you want to be?

Find someone who's already there.

Learn from them, seek advice, & follow the path they've forged.

Reach out.

People are more willing to help than you think.


Persist:

The bigger your goals, the more likely it is they'll take longer to achieve.

Most people fail when they quit right before their plan is beginning to work.

By stopping, they never know how close they actually were.

Be consistent. Keep going.

Build your personal brand:

We're all selling something, often it's ourselves.

Give before you get.

Provide value, be unique, be consistent.

Once people know what to expect from you, they'll come back for more.

The best advertisement in the world is repeatable results.

This is NONSENSE. The people who take photos with their books on instagram are known to be voracious readers who graciously take time to review books and recommend them to their followers. Part of their medium is to take elaborate, beautiful photos of books. Die mad, Guardian.
