Basic Flying tips

Thought I would try and start a topic on basic JET flying tips.....you know the sort of stuff you get told when you start out, but then forget 10 years down the line. For instance, to work out the required ROD to fly a 3 degree G/S you use 5 x your Ground Speed.
Also seem to rember a method for working out your Ground Speed when flying toward or away from a DME...something like the nautical miles travelled in 41 seconds multiplied by 100 gives you your GS?
Anybody care to remind me? Any more tips like this would be gratefully accepted....
