5 . Are you annoyed with the sound of the alarm clock when you are too tired and sleepy to get up? The good news is that you can get up refreshed after a happy battle with the following creative alarm clocks!

Banclock (Price: $85 each, 20% off for more)

Have you been keeping a pocketful of change for some time without knowing what to do with it? Maybe you can deposit those coins in your alarm. This cube is both an alarm clock and a money-box. It only stops ringing if you put a coin in it.

Dmbbell Alarm Clock (Price: $25 each)

You have to shake the 5-kilogram alarm clock up and down 30 times to stop it. Of course you will be totally refreshed then. Don’t be lazy and build up your body in the morning!

Glo Pillow Alarm Clock (Price: $60 each)

This alarm is special because it is a pillow and it doesn’t ring loud. The pillow gradually glows (发光) from inside 40 minutes before the pre-set alarm time. It resembles the effect of sunlight. That’s a more pleasant way to get out of bed.

IQ Alarm Clock (Price: $100 each, 30% off for more)

What about a brain workout in the morning? IQ alarm will go off and ask you a set of IQ questions. Don’t even think about removing the battery, because it has a hard-to-open battery compartment (电池盒). The only way to shut it off is to answer all questions correctly.

9 . Since I learned that shoppers who do less research are happier with their purchases (购买的东西), I’ve been proud of my “good enough” method of shopping. Unlike my husband, who does weeks of research, looking at various choices, and weighing his preferences compared to costs, I always buy the first item I come across that fits my needs and price range.

According to Barry Schwartz, author of the book The Paradox of Choice, my method of shopping is called “satisficing,” while my husband engages in (参与) “maximizing.” Maximizers want the best and believe that there’s a perfect one of whatever they’re looking for. Satisficers, on the other hand, focus on what will be good enough to meet their minimum (最低的) standards.

I recently purchased a desk chair. I wanted one that offered more lumbar (腰部的) support, so I went to a store and picked out a chair that felt comfortable and was within my price range. I was happy with my purchase for six months, until the day I put just a little weight on the back of the chair, and it broke. Turned out that the chair’s back was made of particle board and it was just a matter of time before some weight broke the board. Now I have to buy a new one. It would have been less expensive if I’d researched various chairs, even if I’d ended up with a pricier chair.

While I am very much a satisficer, there are purchases that bring out the maximizer in me. One of them is blank notebooks. Recently I spent nearly two hours looking through the notebooks at a store to find the perfect one for a creative project. While I could use any notebook to take notes and draw pictures, the one I found fitted the project I had in mind.

While I’m always glad to be a satisficer, I admit my satisficing ways can sometimes prevent me from getting the satisfaction of finding exactly what I want. I know making sure that I raise my standards and get the enjoyment of finding the right choice for me will help me to enjoy the best of both worlds.
