Article: If you're a morning person or a "night owl," take advantage of that.  Maximize your most productive times. If music helps you focus, use it; if it distracts you, forget it. Think about what has worked when you've been productive in the past.  Did your college finals studying go better when you holed up in a silent corner of the library or when your room-mates were playing video games three feet away? "  When your brain is fried and you need to step away, do it.  Watch a soap opera, walk your dog, clean a few of those dusty shelves you've been meaning to get to. Expect to need such breaks and factor them into your schedule.  This way you won't feel like you're wasting time while you're, well, wasting time (but in a positive way). Natural sunlight helps keep your body rhythms balanced, gives you energy, and just plain feels good.  Take a walk or work by a window when you can. It breaks up the monotony of the day, relieves stress, helps you refocus your mind, and it's good for you. "  As you work on a project, your mind will fill up with ideas, some relevant to the current task, some not.  If you're feeling bogged down or stuck as you try to figure out a task, work on emptying your mind of distracting ideas.  But keep them around just in case!  Jot down your scattered ideas in a notepad (or your preferred more technologically advanced device) at the end of the day or when you're feeling mentally overloaded. Don't worry about connecting all the dots right now. This is another form of brainstorming; get the ideas out, figure out what works, what doesn't, and how they connect later.

Article: Philodendrons are native to rainforests and grow wild under towering treetops, so you’ll want to choose a place in your home that provides shade and indirect sun (8-10 hours per day) to mimic these conditions. If your plant is in a room without sun, you can create artificial light with a mixture of fluorescent and incandescent lighting. A light-weight, nutritious soil provides the best growing conditions for philodendrons. You can enrich cheap garden soil by adding compost, rotten leaves, coconut fibers, or flower soil. You want to keep the soil moist at all times, but never soaking wet. An ample water supply is key to growing large, uniform leaves. There is a common myth that philodendrons should be watered less in winter, but this is not true. Their native rainforests receive ample rainfall year around, so it’s important to mimic these conditions when you care for the plants. Philodendron roots will rot if they get too wet, so make sure that your soil doesn't get too compact and that your pots always contain drainage holes. To fix excessive compaction, gently knead and fluff the soil with your hands to add air and break up soil clumps. Philodendrons are native to temperate climates, which means they do best in warm, humid weather. The ideal temperature for a philodendron is about 65 degrees Fahrenheit (18 degrees Celsius) with 60% humidity.  The plants are adaptable to temperature fluctuation and can survive in temperatures as low as 55 degrees Fahrenheit (13 degrees Celsius), but they cannot survive frost or freezes.  You can buy temperature and humidity monitors at most garden centers. A well-cared for philodendron can grow up to 10 feet (3 meters) in height. In order to reach that height, many types of philodendrons need to climb and creep up something sturdy for support, so make sure you place the plant within touching distance of a beam or pole. You can also place tree branches or moss sticks right in the pot to facilitate climbing.

Article: Put up wire racks for hanging your tea cups and mugs. You could also install a rail (or more than one rail) and hang your mugs from S hooks. Try hanging a piece of wood on the wall and hammering in long nails as hooks for your mugs. Keep your coffee mugs in a basket under your shelves if you don’t have much room in the cabinets. Save space in the cabinets by putting in a freestanding shelf and stacking mugs on top and dishes beneath. You can also install hooks under your cabinets or under shelves for hanging mugs. Don’t set fine glasses on their rims. Keep them upright or hang them from the stem using a sliding glass hanger. Also, store everyday glasses with the rims up. Put these near your everyday dishes. Put the sliding hanger on a higher shelf or out of the way to prevent glasses from getting knocked off.
