For those getting ready for a much-needed vacation, today's tip fits perfectly into your schedule.

Day 10. Shut Off Computers

You've done the 'Secret Santa' and thanked everyone for an amazing year. Plus, you've cleaned out your desk and checked your flight (or hotel) information twice. But before you leave the office, make sure that your computer is turned off. U.S. Department of Energy estimates that 75% of energy consumed is due to an idle electronics (and no, screen savers don't count).

As a matter of fact, this should become a resolution for 2010. So go ahead and mark this down on your list, right after healthier eating and [especially] before sky diving.
