Sit in a shady part of the office/coffeeshop/etc., so you can turn the brightness down. 2. If you're in the habit of listening to music on your laptop, bring your MP3 player and listen to it instead. 3. If possible, use lighter-weight programs (Wordpad instead of Word for simply viewing documents, for example). Some more tips:
