I also really like scrolling through humor sites like McSweeney's or the New Yorker's Shots and Murmers or Reductress for good copy. I think that humor and satire sites, they often capture the voice of real people very well and they always have tone. And rewriting something from McS Sweeney's is just like a fun experience. So take five minutes to rewrite that article, literally word for word. You don't have to do anything or you can edit someone else. It helps integrate it and helps with not only working memory, but long term memory when you're reviewing.
