This blog has people submit tricks from their profession. All of them are pretty good. For example:
If your rooster is waking you too early, try bedded him down in a cage where he can't stand on his tippy toes. To crow, a rooster needs to arch his neck while standing up.
If a professor describes an experiment, it will be on the exam.
When the students are acting up (or your performance is being evaluated) , turn on the air conditioning as high as it goes. The students are far better behaved when they are frozen. Note: the opposite effect does not work: excessive heat only exacerbates the issues of problem children.
and
Always give your pre-schooler two correct choices. They desperately want to be in control, so asking if they want to go to bed will always result in a NO! And simply telling them it's time to go to bed doesn't work either. Give them two choices, either one of which is a correct answer: Do you want to go up to bed on piggy-back, or fly like superman? Works in any situation, and you'll avoid many arguments!
so if you need to waste an hour or so (like i just did) go read through their archives...
