5 Websites To Help You Get Work Done

We all wish we could zip through all our responsibilities in college and the workplace with perfect efficiency, wasting absolutely no time and getting everything done in a timely manner. Well, that's just not realistic for most of us who are human. But here are a few websites that can help boost your productivity and make working a little more pleasant.

1. Momentum

Momentum is an extension for Chrome that converts your 'New Tab' into a working dashboard. It displays a beautiful scenic background, greets you by name, and allows you to add a 'focus.' It also has the weather of your current location, an inspirational quote, and the ability to create a todo list right from your new tab.

2. Todoist


Todoist isn't just an online to-do list. You can create tasks with specific times, labels, priorities, or for a certain project. You can sort tasks by 'Next # of Days,' or view all upcoming tasks and sort by date, priority level, and more. And every time you complete a task, you earn Karma points to track your productivity. Even better, there's an app too, so you can stay synced with tasks on your phone.

3. Pandora

Everyone knows Pandora is great for jamming out, but it's perfect for getting work done as well. Try their Instrumental Station or Smooth Jazz for background music that will dull your surroundings and keep you from getting distracted.

4. soundrown

Soundrown is like Pandora, but instead of music, it's just background noise. With settings like 'coffee shop,' 'night,' or 'fire,' you can put yourself in the perfect mental space to be productive. You can mix different sound effects and control the volume of each, to create a rainy night or a fire crackling in a coffee shop.

5. Silk

You've been working so hard, you deserve a break! Silk is a website for 'Interactive Generative Art,' or in other words, high tech doodling. There are options to change colors, how to reflect or mirror your doodle, and to share it with others. It's a relaxing way to let your brain take some time off while you create art.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
