Tip of the Week #307: Include Batteries
Quick tip this week
This Christmas, if you are giving a gift that requires batteries, wrap the batteries with the gift.
This quick and easy tip should eliminate the disappointment of receiving a gift with no power.

What I am reading these days…
I finished Zorba the Greek. Still don’t quite get it. So far as I can tell, the message is “Eat, drink, and be merry. For tomorrow, we die.”
I read the book because it was recommended in another book I was reading. I do not recommend the book.
I have moved on to The Art of Frugal Hedonism: A Guide to Spending Less While Enjoying Everything More by Annie Raser-Rowland and Adam Grubb.
I am about halfway through the book. So far, so good. I like the emphasis. We can live fulfilled lives without succumbing to the pressures of a consumer culture. We can also learn to ignore the incessant barrage of advertisers. I am a fan of the frugal movement. Learning to say no to unnecessary clutter has freed up a lot of my time and a lot of my mental space.

Almost every Saturday, I send out a Tip of the Week. The tip of the week is usually something I have picked up along the way that may make your life a little easier.
If you would like to hear from me (almost) every Saturday, just go to the home page of my site and plug in your name and email. You will also get a free digital copy of my book on learning Latin (and almost anything else). Just go here: https://dwanethomas.com/ and enter your name and email.
If you want to buy the digital book instead (because you just feel like buying me a cup of coffee) go here: https://dwanethomas.gumroad.com/l/fzixlh
If you are interested in learning Latin, you can go through the classes on my site 24/7. I recommend the book Lingua Latina by Hans Ørberg. If you tackle the book and find yourself bogged down, you may find the classes on my site helpful. To join, just click here: https://dwanethomas.com/join/
If you want a more professionally filmed Latin learning experience, check out the best-selling DVD series: Visual Latin.
Or, if you want to skip Latin, and just jump right into learning English words from Latin and Greek roots, you may enjoy the series Word Up! Warning. Word Up! is a bit wacky. You will learn a lot… but, you may find yourself rolling your eyes, too.
I teach other languages on my site, too. The current schedule is here: https://dwanethomas.com/schedule/
By the way, some of the links in this post are affiliate links. Not trying to pull a fast one on you. I only promote what I believe in. Not only that, but commissions from affiliate links allow me to continue offering training and books at low prices and sometimes free.
