1. the difference between ear plugs for airplane travel. There are ear plugs made specifically for airplane travel, as they have a hole in them that allows the built up pressure in the ears to be released while the plane is descending. If you use regular ear plugs, be sure to pull them out briefly while the plane is descending. A member tonight described the ill effects from not releasing the pressure.

3. using a timer to use time more efficiently, and to redirect one back to original task when distracted. The idea comes from a member who finds herself getting distracted and losing track of how much time passes.

If during that time something distracts her and she moves away from her initial task, the timer's chime will redirect her and she will not have lost much time.
