Things to print out and leave lying around (or hang on the wall/fridge).

  • Peanuts cartoon or Rudiments of Wisdom cartoon.
  • A painting (see wallpaper in PC section below.)

  • Paper Dolls or Paper Toys.
  • Craft instructions.

  • Use an interesting wallpaper as your PC background and change it regularly. I quite often use a painting by a famous artist, or a photograph of a location.
  • Leave your screen an interesting article - what about an experiment to start with?
  • Download and install a free game or leave the screen open on links for free online games.
  • Download free audiobooks and leave the CDs lying around. Or try a Podcast.
