The first principle of reshaping your personal space is to make good choices obvious (and to hide bad choices). Why? Because of attention!
Want to be on your phone more? Put it in your hand. Less? Hide it in a drawer.

Attention, attention, attention.

A new EU directive to be implemented by this December will change how delivery workers are classified and will likely increase prices of takeaways for customers
