Dwij NewTab

Having a reliable way of organizing tasks is probably one of, if not the most important aspect of increasing one's productivity. When it comes to finding a good task organizer, it's safe to say that sky is the limit, as most tech giants offer some sort of tool for the job.

However, if you're looking for something much much simpler, yet not less efficient by any means, then you might as well check out Dwij NewTab. It's a Google Chrome extension that transforms Chrome's boring New Tab section into a pretty competent dashboard for note-taking and task management.

For starters, it's the fact that all your data is stored locally in your browser. Secondly, the GUI is modern and nice-looking (and it even comes with 5 color themes for you to choose from).

Not only that, but the GUI is also very user-friendly. For instance, you can create multiple widgets, you can drag and drop and even resize them according to your needs. If privacy is an issue for you, you can opt to hide the widgets altogether in which case, you'll be left with a basic clock when you open a new tab.

You can use Dwij NewTab for pretty much all your tasks if they're not incredibly complex. The section for your To-dos has something called manual shuffling and you can also organize your tasks based on their priority. The task manager also allows you to organize them using parameters such as start time, due date, and time completed.

Last but not least, it's worth noting that the extension also makes it easy for you to export (to PDF), and even print your daily tasks.

Taking everything into account, Dwij NewTab is a pretty awesome replacement for what seems to be one of the most boring section of Chrome, its New Tab Page. It can't possibly stand up to some other professional tools of the industry, but that doesn't mean that it's not a decent task/notes/to-do organizer.
