Quick Tip #5: Wendy’s Coupon Booklet

For a limited time, you can purchase a Wendy’s coupon booklet for $1. The booklet contains 10 coupons. Each coupon is good for one Jr. Frosty. Yum! My favorite is the chocolate, but my daughter prefers the vanilla option.

In addition to offering a great trick-or-treat prize, 90 cents of every dollar spent purchasing these booklets benefits the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption.

As you prepare for your Halloween celebration, enjoy a chilly treat benefiting a cool charity. Enjoy!

Question: What do you plan to gift on Halloween night to those who trick-or-treat?

Quick Tip #4: Reboot Your Computer

In using time wisely while working on your computer, reboot your computer to increase your productivity.

When I work for long periods on my computer, I find the cache gets full which slows the processing speed. To increase my productivity, I start by rebooting my computer.

As you work on your computer and find the processing slowed, try rebooting your system. This tip continues to increase my productivity which uses my time wisely. Continue working smarter rather than harder!

Question: How often do you reboot your computer?
