Problem: Article: This will ensure that your battery is always fully charged when you turn back on the computer. For example, you might hook your computer up to a charger before going to bed. Any programs which you aren't currently using should be closed in order to cut down on the number of applications drawing on battery power. You'll also want to avoid using battery-intensive programs like video players or photo editors if possible. Things like USB flash drives, CDs, mice, and other peripherals will cause your battery to drain faster; remove these items for a small boost in battery life. Click the square Action Center icon in the bottom-right corner of the screen (or press ⊞ Win+A), then click the Brightness box until your computer's brightness is down to 50 percent (or lower if you like).  Computer screen brightness is one of the largest contributors to battery drain, so this will drastically increase your battery's life if you were using high brightness. If your laptop uses a light-up keyboard, you can disable the light feature by holding down the Fn key and tapping the keyboard icon at the top of your laptop's keyboard (on some computers, you may not need the Fn key). Like screen brightness, you can do this from the Action Center by clicking the colored Bluetooth box. If this box is grey and has "Off" under it, Bluetooth is already disabled. Battery Saver is a Windows 10 feature which temporarily disables high-performance things like shadows and other graphical aspects. You can enable it by clicking your laptop's battery icon in the far-right side of the taskbar and then clicking Battery Saver in the pop-up window. To disable Battery Saver, simply click the battery icon again and then click Battery Saver. Your laptop's vents serve to cool down your computer, thus preventing the built-in fans from working too hard. If the vents become blocked by dust or items on your desk, the fans will have to work significantly harder, and your computer's battery life will suffer as a result. Always try to use your laptop in an open, well-ventilated space.
Summary: Keep your laptop plugged in when not using it. Close unnecessary applications. Unplug any unneeded accessories. Lower your computer screen's brightness. Turn off Bluetooth. Use Battery Saver. Keep your laptop's vents clear.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Look at the changes you want to make to Measurably Improve Your Quality of Life. Which goals require you to learn more before you can confidently make the change you want? Look for a goal you could start on now, without too much time required. In this case, the goal we have chosen is to take better care of our body. Then we are going to break it down. What elements go along with taking better care of our body?  Study as early as possible. Get plenty of sleep Eat healthy food Drink plenty of water Get exercise Brainstorm criteria for which options you are attracted to and which you are not. Are you interested in researching on the internet? Do you want to talk with a nutritionist or a fitness instructor? If you have difficulty when paying attention while reading, would magazine articles be an effective option for learning?  Trust your intuition. If heading down a certain path doesn't feel right, don't go that way! If you begin reading on ways to improve your sleep habits, and the information is not something you would be willing to use in your own life, then stop reading, and find a different resource. Do not continue simply because it is information coming from an “expert” or because “everyone is doing it”. The information has to be useful to you.  Refine your goal with research. As you begin to look into ways to take better care of your body you may discover there is one element that you really want to focus on. This narrows your goal from “I want to take better care of my body” to “I want to take better care of my body by eating a healthier diet.”  Find someone who has done what you want to do and have them show you. If you know someone who has changed elements of their lifestyle, such as exercising more or implementing a healthier way of eating, talk to them. Find out what they did, how they did it and where they found their information.  Do research on the internet, take a class, interview others, and find a mentor. Try out different varieties of learning to see which one works best for you. Pick something that is possible to do in your environment, that you can work on constructively within your timeframe, and that you can do successfully with the energy and attention you have. Do not decide to take a nutrition class if you are already pressed for time and won’t have time to attend. Instead, take a smaller piece, such as following a nutritional plan. Whatever it is, it needs to be something you can effectively add to your life.  Consider time constraints, geographic constraints, and your mental state. Do not bring more stress to your life by taking on more than what works for your life circumstances. Learning should add to the quality of your life, not take away from it.  Schedule a time of day for learning and practicing what you learn. Having a set time for learning can help motivate you to continue the process.  Develop the habit of paying attention to what you want to learn or improve upon. "Emotions drive attention. Attention drives learning." Pay attention to your emotional reactions. If you are researching exercise options and find yourself resisting, explore why. What is it about exercising that is causing the reaction? There is a reason for resisting the learning experience.  Don't become overwhelmed with all the choices. Sometimes we become distracted and overwhelmed by wanting to choose the “right” option. There is no “right” or “wrong”; it is about what works for you. Just pick one and try it! If it doesn’t work, then pick another one. To effectively conduct an experiment you need to have a plan, a way to evaluate if the experiment is working and a time to reflect on the process and outcome. The learning process works the same way.   Setting a specific criteria allows you to see if you have met it or not. When deciding on a nutritional plan do I want it to include 3 meals a day or do I need it to cover several smaller meals throughout the day?  Be sure to have a method for keeping track of progress. Use whatever tools you have! Notebooks, phone, apps, computer, internet, calendar, blogs, etc.  Keep reflecting on your progress. Do I still need more information or do I have what I need to begin a new sleep routine?  Set milestones and stick to them. I want to find 3 new healthy dinner recipes to incorporate into my nutrition plan. Did you reach them? Did you learn enough to implement a new exercise plan? Have you found an effective way to improve your sleep habits?  A reminder in your calendar will prompt you to reflect. Set a “check-in” date to evaluate the information you have learned; see if it is effective; is there is more you have realized that you need to know. What worked and what didn't? Why? If the learning approach you chose worked, then keep going with it. If not, go back and pick a different one and start experimenting!

SUMMARY: Pick a goal. Research options for learning. Choose the best option. Experiment with learning. Evaluate your results and milestones. Refine your approach.
