"How to Avoid Being Blown Off Course on the Internets : a Self-Help Guide"

(If that booklet were to exist, I could probably use it.)

If I click on a link and it's not what I was originally looking for, and not helpful to my current goal, I'm trying to get better at closing the page quickly without reading it, no matter how interesting it may be, or how pertinent it may be to something other than my current goal.

But it doesn't help when I'm purposely looking for random entertainment instead of whatever I ought to be doing.

Tongs for Gutters

Metal tongs are also good for cleaning out gutters!

(They allowed me to finish the task even after being horrified to find tons of ants running around in the gutters after I'd pulled out a few handfuls of leaves. They must have built a nest within the decaying leaves and gunk in there. But the tongs would work well on ant-free gutters too. )

The tongs are narrow enough to easily pull crud out of the gutters with them, and they avoid me getting my hands/gloves dirty while doing it.
