LET’S GET PRODUCTIVE
One time I asked my genius friend (who is always trying to hack life) what his favorite Chrome plugins were and his response was, “wow, you’re even more of a nerd than I am”. That being said, I constantly find myself preaching the plugin/ lifehack gospel- because without these little babies life on my MacBook would be a lot more inconvenient.
That being said, Team Freck & I are sharing our favorite Chrome and Gmail plugins that make our work and every day lives easier and more importantly, quicker. Yeah, maybe some plugins support shopping habits but they also help us get our acts together to run a business, so let’s get into it with the best Chrome and Gmail plugins!
GMAIL PLUGINS
Boomerang is gonna be the Gmail plugin that changes your email game for life.. well for us at least. This plugin is both iOS and Android-friendly which is amazing for all of us workin’ people out there. So, with this Gmail plugin you can do the following:
- Send an email later: With Boomerang, you can write an email and schedule it to be sent automatically at the perfect time… for when you’re composing emails at 1am (like I am so often) and stack them up to send at 6:37am so you look like you’re slaying it while you’re really catching some zzz’s like a 1-hour snoozer.
- Remind you if you don’t hear back: We have all dealt with some time sensitive emails or agreements. Boomerang lets you select to be reminded if nobody replies, so you know when you need to follow up. I literally use this every day to stay on top of my vendors/ printers/ lab/ etc. This is also a lifesaving tool if you’re in sales, Boomerang has probably made me hundreds if not thousands of dollars.
- Follow up reminders: Boomerang to takes messages out of your inbox until you actually need them. Just click the Boomerang button when you have an email open, and choose when you need it again. Boomerang will bring it back to your inbox, marked unread, starred or even at the top of your message list – THANK YOU.
CloudHQ is super beneficial for anyone who has to write the same email multiple times (helloooooo, salespeople). There are a bunch of functions of this Gmail plugin, but I mostly use it for email templates so everytime someone asks me if we sell outside of the US, Canada or EU I don’t have to spend time on that. CloudHQ literally saves me & Team Freck over an hour per day. That’s no joke.
CHROME PLUGINS
Honey is no doubt the best Chrome Plugin that exists. Who doesn’t love a little online shopping and saving some $$ while you’re shopping or even ordering pizza (Fridays in the Freck office, hehe). Honey does the work for you where the plugin finds all the possible coupons the internet knows of, and applies them to your cart in seconds. Zina once saved $50 at Sephora that she otherwise was down to pay. Hell yeah! Here’s to some more retail therapy and discounts on some take out.
Grammarly is the plugin that Team Freck cannot live without. We do too much typing and email sending to allow ourselves to be grammatically incorrect, and Grammarly allows us to seem like we got our shit together. Literally, if you write anything on your computer, you need Grammarly.
Instapaper is a simple tool for saving web pages to read later on any of your devices. This browser extension may be used to save articles directly into your Instapaper queue (it’s better than the bookmark situation). You can save anything with one click and read anywhere while adding notes. That’s hella tight, but you know what’s even cooler? There is a dictionary tool (so you don’t have to tab out to see what “agastopia” means), there is a speedreading tool which you can set to your max speed and you can read as fast as humanly possible, AND you can make boards. It’s like Pinterest for articles, I have one for feminist articles, recipes, news, and upcoming events that I might want to reference later. It’s seriously awesome.
Get down to business, boo! Thanks for checking out what we use to hack life, and if you know of one that’s not on this list of the best Chrome and Gmai plugins - I would seriously love to hear about it. Please give me all your plugins, I need them, hit the comments!

After over 30 years in the cockpit as a commercial pilot, flying across continents and safely landing thousands of passengers, I was ready for retirement. Like many others, I had put part of my earnings into cryptocurrency—Bitcoin, specifically—as a long-term investment. Over time, that small investment grew substantially, eventually reaching £2,000,000. It wasn’t just a number on a screen; it was my safety net, my future, my reward for decades of hard work and sacrifice. Then, in a single moment, it was all gone. I logged into my crypto wallet one morning and was met with an empty balance—zero. My entire portfolio had vanished. What I later learned was that I had been the victim of a sophisticated form of cyber theft known as cryptojacking. The hackers had exploited vulnerabilities in my system, compromised my private keys, and stealthily transferred every last coin to their own wallets. The feeling? Crippling. I reached out to every avenue I could think of—banks, law enforcement, online crypto forums—but the answer was always the same: “There’s nothing we can do.” I was devastated. It felt like years of planning and saving had been erased overnight. That was until I came across.COINSRECOVERYWORLDWIDE Naturally, I was cautious. The internet is riddled with “recovery experts” who prey on victims twice. But from my first contact with Coinsrecoveryworldwide, the difference was obvious. Their team was transparent, knowledgeable, and deeply empathetic. They didn’t offer empty guarantees—they offered action, and more importantly, they delivered. Here’s what set them apart: Unmatched Technical Expertise Coinsrecoveryworldwide began by conducting an advanced forensic analysis of my case. They traced my stolen Bitcoin through multiple layers of obfuscation—including mixers, tumblers, and shadow wallets commonly used by criminals to launder crypto assets. Their team used blockchain analytics and cyber-intelligence tools to follow the trail where others had hit a dead end. Dark Web Surveillance and Server Penetration They didn’t stop at blockchain tracking. Using legal and ethical cyber-infiltration methods, they breached one of the attacker’s remote servers—uncovering a treasure trove of data: stolen credentials, transaction logs, and access routes. This breakthrough allowed them to identify the specific IPs and even the hardware fingerprints used during the theft. Collaboration with Exchanges and Global Partners Coinsrecoveryworldwide then leveraged their global network and worked directly with several crypto exchanges to flag, freeze, and intercept the stolen assets before they could be laundered or converted. They also collaborated with cybersecurity partners to neutralize parts of the botnet infrastructure the hackers had used. Successful Recovery Within weeks, 95% of my stolen funds—equivalent to £1,900,000—was securely returned to a new, uncompromised wallet. Watching that balance reappear felt like being rescued from a plane crash. I was overwhelmed with relief and gratitude. This experience has taught me that all is not lost after a scam—not when you have the right people in your corner. Coinsrecoveryworldwide didn’t just recover my funds. They restored my sense of justice, safety, and peace. They are not just another tech firm—they are specialists in real-world cybercrime intervention. They combine unmatched technical acumen with genuine care for the people they help. To anyone facing the same nightmare I went through: don’t give up. Coinsrecoveryworldwide is the real deal. If they could recover my £2,000,000 there’s hope for you too. Contact COINSRECOVERYWORLDWIDE Security Company 📧
