The dongle plugs directly into the bottom of your iPhone and emits a bacon-scented spray when paired with the accompanying alarm clock app. Who wouldn’t want to wake up to a waft on meat-smell in the morning?

Plan Ahead Before you head out for your weekly grocery store trip, think ahead for the next week of some meals you might like to have. I personally am not into meal planning very far in advance because it’s too rigid of a structure for my likings, but that does work out for a lot of people. If this sounds like something you might like, pull out a calendar or print one off your computer and start planning out what you want to make for meals each day....
Being nice is something we’re taught from birth.

Bluetooth has broadened its horizons and found itself almost indispensable in many different areas of technology today. Here are five examples of how Bluetooth technology is making our lives easier.

We trick ourselves into making connections. Most people are convinced that the full moon makes other behave strangely even though there is no scientific evidence to support that claim.[1] This belief in the connection between two unrelated things is called an illusory-correlation bias.[2] We’re all kidding ourselves when we don’t understand the difference between correlation and causation.

You can’t package stress, touch it, or see it. There are only people engaged in stressful thinking. – Wayne Dyer Everyone in the office is pulling their hair out as the client’s Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) keep finding new and ‘creative’ ways to change their original brief and technical recommendations and now it has become a vicious circle. It is almost like they keep changing their minds on purpose, but it is not so, when one works in a project of that magnitude and scope, there are things likely to go ‘amiss’ during the planning stages, and somehow these missing pieces are compounding to become an eternal barrage of modifications....
