Launching My First Chrome Extension to Help Set Up Deep Work Sessions in Less Time

Hey everyone, 👋

I wanted to share something I’ve been working on that might help if you’ve ever struggled to get started on your work. For me, the hardest part of being productive wasn’t the actual work—it was getting those first few minutes done.

I’d spend too much time setting everything up: writing tasks down in a notes app, copying them into a to-do list builder, and then setting a timer on YouTube or Google. These little steps added up, and by the time I was ready to start, I’d already lost focus or motivation.

I realized I needed something simpler. A tool that lets you skip all the setup and just get to work. That’s why I built TaskQueue, a Chrome extension that combines task management and focus timers into one simple tool.

What’s Available Now?
Right now, TaskQueue’s free version includes:

Task Management: Quickly add as many tasks as you need, with descriptions and tick boxes for tracking.
Preset Focus Timers: Timers are ready to go—choose 25, 60, or 90 minutes for Pomodoro sessions or deep work.
Night Mode: A clean, distraction-free interface for late-night productivity.
It’s a minimal tool built for people like me who want to focus more and set up less.

What’s Next?
I’m currently working on the next version of TaskQueue, which will include new features:

Recurring Tasks: Automate repetitive tasks so you don’t forget them.
Subtasks: Break down larger tasks into smaller, actionable steps.
Batch Add Tasks: Quickly create multiple tasks at once.
Productivity Streaks: Stay motivated by tracking your consistent focus over time.
These features will launch as part of a premium version soon, and I’m thinking of offering both a monthly and yearly pricing option.

Why I’m Sharing This
I mainly wanted to share what I’m working on, but I’d also love to hear your thoughts:

What’s the hardest part of getting started on your work?
What features do you wish productivity tools had?
What do you think is fair pricing for the premium version?
If TaskQueue sounds like something you’d find useful, feel free to check it out and let me know what you think! It’s completely free to start, and your feedback will help shape what it becomes.
