6. Tell everyone you know that you are unavailable for the weekend.

7. If you are like me and listen to music when you read, load up the cd
player with the cds that you feel will best complement your reading
experience.  If you only have a single disc changer, stack the cds you feel
you will be listening to by the player so you don't have to waste precious
reading time hunting for a new disc.

8.  Know the number of your pizza deliverer of choice.  That way you don't
have to waste your time looking it up later.  Better yet, just arrange for
another family member to take care of the details.
