The other is command mode, which instructs the software or operating system to do something in a certain way, e.g. alt-tab to cycle through open windows. The mouse also has these two functions: command mode, such as double-clicking a file to open, or clicking a button to restart the computer; enter mode, such as using drawing software to draw lines.

1. Sell something.
Let’s be honest – there are games, books, furniture, maybe even clothes you haven’t touched in 2013. Why not collect them all and start selling on Craigslist? You can even take your items to a friend or relative's garage sale and have them sell them for you.
