Advanced power strips reduce standby loss by sensing when the device plugged into the “master” outlet is turned off and cutting power to “controlled” outlets. When the “master” device is turned on again, power returns to the “controlled” devices automatically. Find this great advanced power strip at Mass Save for only $16.

Day Planner/Calendar

I generally recommend using a day planner/calendar that has a whole day to a page (or at the very least a full column). With this sort of format, you will be able to write down all your To-Dos with accompanying notes. Even though, I use an e-calendar (iCal), I still use a written day planner as well. Studies show that writing things down helps one retain that information better. And I like to write some notes. Been using the Scully for decades.
