This article has been superseded by 33 Excellent GNOME Extensions.
16. NetSpeed
This extension shows your internet speed (both download and upload speeds) in the top bar. It’s a very convenient and unobtrusive way of tracking your download and upload traffic transfer rates.
By clicking the middle mouse button you can toggle the output to show the sum of download and upload speeds. And right clicking shows statistics per device.
Other options that you can configure are the timer (in milliseconds), the number of digits to display, set the label size, unit label size, and menu label size. With our GNOME desktop it’s necessary to increase the label size by a few points. You can also have the extension show the sum of the download and upload speed by default.
There’s internationalization support with translations for Chinese, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Turkish, and others.

18. Workspaces-to-Dock
Workspaces-to-Dock is a GNOME Shell extension that transforms the workspaces of the overview mode into an intelligent dock. The dock is positioned and sized to maintain tight integration with the GNOME Shell.
Workspaces-To-Dock merges the favorites dash and the workspaces thumbnails into one dock for convenient application and workspace navigation/management.
The extension has bags of options, letting you fine-tune it to your specific preferences.

Another time save is launcher Argos, https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1176/argos/
so you can create your own launchers (scripts, URLs, apps) from top panel
I have links to Jira, internal development services of the company used, start/stop VPN, record desktop (screencasting) etc. You can define how often to query what to display in the drop down. Mine is set to 10seconds, therefore it changes statuses when my VPN is UP or DOWN….very nice extension.
