Big projects, big production to launch, big sums raised. To scale back things, Kickstarter launched the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/make100-projects\" target=\"_blank\">Make 100 campaign<\/a>\u00a0to encourage makers to simply make one hundred of something. A multitude of makers have responded with limited editions of low budget cool things, without a lot of fuss. I\u2019ve backed a handful of them. It has also inspired me to make my own 100 of something. \u2013 KK<\/p>\n<p><strong>Focused daydreaming<\/strong><br \/>\nI am giving up social media and other distractions for the 2 hour rule, which encourages setting aside two hours each week for purposeful mind-wandering.

He says that while it helps to focus on specific questions, the biggest benefit comes from the time spent after you\u2019ve run out of things to think about. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n<p><strong>Reading glasses in bulk<\/strong><br \/>\nI\u2019m rough on my reading glasses. I roll on them in bed, snap them in carrying bags, leave them at airports. So I buy them cheaply and in quantity. I like these\u00a0retro horn rim readers, which are less than $10 for a six-pack [Update 1\/29\/2018 &#8212; they are sold out on Amazon, but you can <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2FrFvoW\">buy them individually<\/a> for $5]. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n<p><strong>Push or pull?<\/strong><br \/>\nIt pays to be observant. When approaching a door, look for hinges. If you see them, that means pull the door to open. Otherwise, push. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n<p><strong>Travel kit essential<\/strong><br \/>\nI recently visited my grandmother in Mexico and made it a point to buy and bring a\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2DmnuYR\" target=\"_blank\">pStyle<\/a>, which helps women pee while standing. It was the perfect travel tool for Mexico, where most public bathrooms have no toilet seat and you have to pay for toilet paper. There was no mess, easy to use and I just attached it to my purse in one of these\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2DkYWzn\" target=\"_blank\">discreet carrying cases<\/a>. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n<p><strong>No logo baseball hats<\/strong><br \/>\nI don\u2019t wear clothing with ads or logos. Finding a baseball hat without a logo is hard. I found\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.daisojapan.com\/p-34391-cap-12pks.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">very cheap hats without logos at Daiso<\/a>, for $1.50.
