There are a few personal things you should NEVER share with anyone. Antiperspirant, bar soap, nail clippers, razors, toothbrushes, and towels. The transfer of bacteria, fungus, hair particles and skin cells is way too easy. So from here on out, get your own!

If you are prone to cramping during exercise, after exercise or during your sleep, then you will need to make certain your body is well hydrated. Calcium plays an important role in muscle contraction, so eating calcium rich foods like yogurt or low-fat milk should help too. A lack of sodium and potassium may also be the culprit, which indicates an electrolyte imbalance. Drinking an isotonic drink (Gatorade) or eating a potassium-rich fruit such as a banana will help as well.

Phantom power is the discreet flow of energy (electricity) from cords plugged into outlets when the devices they are attached to are in standby mode or powered off. This is also known as idle current. Use a surge protector or power strip to just flip the switch when several items such a lamp and TV are plugged in at the same time.

Take a break! No one works optimally, constantly. Short bursts of productivity is much better on the body, mind and spirit (literally those 3 things) than at a constant pace that could result in burnout or being pissed off. Burnout is a state of emotional, mental, and physical exhaustion and we all know what pissed off looks like. Your productivity has a lot to do with how you handle stress.
