If the mouse is connected by a wire, you'll need to power down your computer first. Wired mice usually connect to the monitor of an all-in-one desktop computer or the central processing unit (CPU) of a traditional desktop computer. If the mouse is wireless, simply remove the USB component from the computer. Different brands have battery compartments in different locations. You can access many brands' compartments on the bottom of the mouse. Look for a small switch to open the compartment and remove the batteries. With other brands, you'll have to pop the top side of the mouse open to reveal the battery compartment. This step only applies to wireless mice. If you have a traditional mouse, you can skip this step. Apply a small amount of water. Wring out any excess moisture. Avoid getting the cloth dripping wet. Use the dampened cloth to remove any dirt or grime. Move back and forth over the target areas until the dirt is gone. Try to keep the cloth away from the openings in the mouse. Use a dry microfiber cloth to absorb any moisture left over from the cleaning. Move in gentle strokes. Continue until the outside of the mouse is completely dry. Spin the scroll wheel under a bright light. Look for any buildup of dirt or grime. Gently insert a toothpick between the scroll wheel and the slot it rests in. Being careful not to break the toothpick, scrape outward to remove the buildup. Wipe away any excess that falls on the outside of the mouse. You could use your fingernails instead of a toothpick. As long as they extend slightly past your fingertip, they should remove quite a bit of buildup. Recall where your battery cover is located on your mouse and open it. When you replace the batteries, pay attention to placement of the + and – symbols in the battery compartment. This tells you how the positive and negative ends of the batteries should be aligned. Place the USB of a wireless mouse back in the computer port. For a wired mouse, reattach it to the CPU or monitor. The correct port should have a small engraved image of a mouse above or below it. Power the computer up and test the mouse to make sure you've reconnected it correctly. If your computer fails to recognize your mouse, consult your user's manual or contact tech support.

summary: Disconnect your mouse from your computer. Remove the batteries. Dampen a microfiber cloth. Wipe down the outside of the mouse. Dry the mouse. Clean the scroll wheel, if applicable. Replace the batteries, if applicable. Reconnect the mouse.

Move the rack in the oven so it's in the center. Place 1 pound (450 g) of broccoli florets in a bowl and drizzle 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of olive oil over the florets. Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 g) of salt over the florets and use your hands or tongs to toss them until they're evenly coated. Open the the oven door and place the baking sheet in the center of the oven. Close the oven door. Spoon the seasoned broccoli on a rimmed baking sheet. Ensure that the florets are evenly spaced so they cook evenly. Roast the broccoli in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Wear oven mitts to remove the baking sheet from the oven. Use a flat spatula to stir the broccoli and return the sheet to the oven. Cook the broccoli until it's tender and slightly crispy on the edges. This should take another 10 to 15 minutes. You can insert a fork or knife into a floret to see if it's done. If it's tender, the fork or knife should slide right out. Turn off the oven and transfer the roasted broccoli to a serving dish. Add more salt and pepper according to your taste and serve the broccoli immediately. Store leftover roasted broccoli in an airtight container. Refrigerate it for 3 to 5 days.

summary: Preheat the oven to 425 °F (218 °C). Season the broccoli with olive oil and salt. Spread the broccoli on a sheet. Roast the broccoli for 10 minutes. Remove and stir the broccoli. Roast the broccoli for 10 to 15 more minutes. Serve the basic roasted broccoli.

Choose a location, and either an amount of time you want to spend reading or a number of pages you hope to finish.  Don’t try to read the rest of the book in one go.  Provide yourself a mental map of what your brain is seeking to accomplish – in terms of the literal tangible task at hand.  This will keep you from being overwhelmed by how much you have left to read.  Keep reading at the end of your reading session if you feel like it. If you fail to make the time to read the book, you won’t ever finish it! Assign yourself one or two chapters a day.  Complete them, and the reading will feel lighter and more rewarding. Find somewhere quiet, well-lit, and with fresh air.  Avoid anywhere that makes you feel restless.  Don’t think that locking yourself in the library will automatically make you productive; some of us are better able to focus when leaning against a tree in the park.  If you are indoors, find somewhere clean and organized. Avoid distractions.  Don’t read within sight of a television or computer. Turn your phone off, if possible. Have both blank paper and a writing utensil to take down notes, realizations, or points of inspiration.  Have water and a healthy snack.  Nuts are a great option, as is fruit. Natural sugars, such as those you can get from an apple or orange, will give you a short-term boost in mental ability, including memory. Coffee and tea can work wonders on your ability to focus.  Don’t overdo it, as too much caffeine can make you uncomfortable and distracted. Different types of coffee and methods of preparation offer different amounts of caffeine. The same is true of tea, which comes in a greater variety of flavors and is a healthier option. Be conscious of caffeine’s other effects on your body, including those with potential health ramifications.  Do not drink more than 400mg of caffeine per day. Mark your place clearly. Struggling to find where you left off can lead to starting your reading session in a distractedly frustrated mindset.  Easily finding your spot makes it easier to pick up the book and get right into a productive reading session. Use something you feel positively about – especially a photo or written quote that motivates you.
summary: Plan a reading session. Choose an environment you enjoy. Have what you may need with you. Caffeinate. Use a bookmark.
