Do you ever start out researching a particular topic on the internet and get sidetracked? It happens to me all the time. If I were able to focus on the task at hand, I think I could accomplish my goal in just a few minutes. But many internet sites/pages make this difficult. Most are so crammed full of enticing items and flashing icons that it's hard to concentrate on just one.
Instead of following my train of thought to its conclusion, something often unrelated 
catches my eye and I'm off on a trail that can twist and turn until I've completely forgotten the reason I started my search in the first place and lost all track of time.
I read a recommendation somewhere yesterday (I was researching a topic that took me far and wide) to keep web pages simple. They compared the cluttered Yahoo home page with the very clean and simple Google page. If every web page was as focused as Google, I think my productivity (related to internet work) would increase exponentially.
