Chances are you've heard of book clubs before, if not participated in one.

by Lisette Mejia

Chances are you've heard of book clubs before, if not participated in one. But a magazine article club? That might be a different story. This weekend, instead of hosting a book club, plan a magazine article night.

It's very simple: just pick an article you find interesting and ask your friends to read it too. Then you can all come together over a glass of wine to discuss what caught your attention, what was missing, and more. It's much easier than a book club because you don't have to pick a date weeks in advance, your friends can most likely find the article online or at a kiosk, and depending on how long the story is, they can read it in less than an hour.

How's that for an easy but engaging weekend activity?

It's time to spring forward and set your clocks ahead one hour this Sunday.

by Lisette Mejia

It's time to spring forward and set your clocks ahead one hour this Sunday. Daylight Saving Time — when we reset our clocks every year — is meant to help conserve energy. Although we'll be losing an hour of sleep this time of year, we'll also be gaining more sunlight at the end of every day. To get you through the day (it does affect some of us like jet lag, after all) we've put together some helpful tips.

• Stay alert: For several days after the clock resetting, traffic accidents go up and work injuries increase, according to Scientific American. That means we should all pay extra attention and be super aware of our surroundings.
• Take advantage of the extra light: Several things — like jogging around the neighborhood, strolling on the beach, doing yard work, and just hanging out on the porch — are better left for when the sun's out. Use the hour to make them a part of your springtime routine.
• Reset all items with a clock: Many clocks on phones or computers will reset automatically, but don't forget to switch your analog devices and change all timers, such as sprinkler timers that go off every day.
• Ease into the time change: If you can, change the hour on Friday night or Saturday so that your body's not completely thrown off on Monday morning. If that's not an option, then try to get to bed an hour earlier than normal the night before.
• Make your morning easier: No one likes to lose an hour of sleep, but you can make the morning go smoothly by prepping the night before. Pick out your clothes or pack your lunch Sunday so that the morning rush feels less stressful.

A messy desk at work could be adding more stress to your work life.

A messy desk at work could be adding more stress to your work life. Organization expert Peter Walsh, who is heading a campaign where communities who hold yard sales to raise money for a cause can apply for his help and a feature in O magazine, gave us this really juicy tip on how to keep your desk clear. Walsh says:

"You've got to embrace digital technology and realize that paper is your enemy. It's 2013. There's an infinite supply of data storage available; more than any number of file cabinets you could ever cram into your office. And, even better, searches are now done as quickly as you can type. So, the best tools you need today are a good scanner and a good shredder.

Get into the habit of scanning anything you think you might need later; store it in the cloud; and, then, shred it. Not only will that keep the paper off your desk, you'll also be able to access it anywhere you go. And, by the way, yes, of course, you should keep originals which are signed (but these days most other paperwork should be tossed after scanned)."
