How To Kill Time Productively On Your Phone Reader Jörgen found a creative way to prop up his laptop and reduce heat buildup with doorstops and magnets. To build this nifty little stand, Jörgen bought small doorstops at a regular housewares store. He explains: 1. I took two doorstops and glued them together in opposite directions. 2. Next, small magnets. Preferably one of the magnets is a little thin metal piece that doesn’t stick out underneath the laptop’s ordinary feet. 3. Finally, I glued the thin magnet on the bottom of my laptop and the other magnetic piece inside one end of the doorstops.
The end result are two magnetic feet that are easy to remove from the bottom of your laptop but will still stay on if you’re moving you laptop around. For another option (without the magnets), you can create your own laptop stand using wine corks. Thanks, Jörgen!
Perfect your writing style by following the habits of great writers, especially with regards to scheduling. The Study Hacks weblog has reviewed interviews of many non-fiction writers and discovered that most writers schedule their work in the morning. To apply this advice, the article suggests that you spread out your writing over a few days, and when you do, get up early. Go to an isolated location and jump-start your day with an activity to get the blood in your brain flowing. Work for a few hours and then take a break. Don’t write during other times. While this advice may be sound for morning people, reversing it to the night may be more practical for night owls. The takeaways are to make the writing “me” time and keep yourself far from distractions. How to Schedule Your Writing Like a Professional Writer

Following simple investment rules can turn into considerable riches. Men’s Health explains that one of the most important things is to invest in yourself. Set your savings on automatic. Allocate some of your work compensation into an index fund, low-fee variable annuity, or a diversified mutual fund. Allocate another small sum of money into a foreign index fund. Why should you do this? If you ever want to amass a lot of liquid assets–that is, money you can spend today if you want–you need to set your savings to automatic, as well.
This is an easy way to make good money without having to consistently be monitoring your financial progress. As the saying goes, “set it and forget it,” and over time, you’ll accumulate wealth that you hadn’t previously foreseen. 10-Minute Tips to Help You Retire Rich [Men's Health]
