     The dirty secret of the internet is that all this distraction and interruption is immensely profitable. Web companies like to boast about "creating compelling content", or offering services that let you "stay up to date with what your friends are doing", "share the things you love with the world" and so on.

   Put things where you will use them: sponges next to the sink, knives next to the cutting board, and so on.‎
