Think about how you want to write your book. As technology develops, the number of choices becomes greater and greater. You will need to choose a method which works best for you but keep in mind that it may affect how you go about publishing your work. You can write the text with a pen and paper, type on a typewriter, type on a computer, or use a software program which records your voice as you talk and translates it into typed text. Different methods work best for different people. You will need an acceptable space, which allows you to work without interruption. It will need to accommodate your chosen writing method and be comfortable and not distracting.  Common options include a coffee house, office, or library. It is helpful to have access to tools such as dictionaries, thesauruses, articles on your topic, etc. You will want to be sure that you do not become distracted while writing so have everything you may need. Many people develop a specific thing, which they cannot write without, such as a particular food or sitting at a particular chair. Make sure that these needs are met before continuing.

Подумайте, как вы будете писать. Найдите рабочее место. Не забывайте о благах земных.


Think about how your kid plays, how old they are, and how they could realistically use the space. It's easy to design a room that you'd like for yourself but remember that kids have very different needs than adults. Their personality will also play a big part in how they enjoy the room and what they'll need to get the most from their room.  For example, a bench at the foot of the bed is useful for you to get ready in the morning, but your child wouldn't use one. For example, are they more bookish? If so It's probably more important to have a reading area with a comfy place to sit than a larger play area that they'll never use. But it depends on them! Kids benefit from open floor space in a way that adults do not, so try to find ways to give them as much space as possible. A good way to do this is to make some spaces do double duty. A loft bed, for example, is not only fun for your child but allows you to tuck away items like a dresser and a desk, so that your child has the rest of the room to play in. When arranging furniture in a room, it's a good idea to try to group the furniture items by function. For example, put the dresser and bed next to each other because those are the functional items of the room, and have another area that's for play and contains bookshelves and toys. You can even use furniture to divide a room into smaller sections. Make a secret bed cove by placing the bed against the back wall and then placing big book shelves across in front of it. Your child will love their secret hide out! Remember: you don't want big furniture in a small room if you can help it. If your child's bedroom is small, don't take up all the space to move around with big beds and dressers that they don't really need. You should also remember that kids are small...a big bed that they have to jump to get in to isn't going to help them a lot, for example.

Think about it. How many band names do you know that are more than three words long? Not many. That’s the rule of thumb: No more than three words long.    You want people to be able to spell and pronounce your name. Mostly, you just want to make sure they remember it. Can you abbreviate your band name easily? That can be helpful for merchandising purposes. That’s one reason that Nine Inch Nails chose its name. Consider the merchandise. Your name is going to appear on everything if you make it big, from album covers to shirts.  So take that into consideration. These days you want your name to be easily findable when you search it on the Internet. Names that are too common – like Girls – will be lost in search engines because there are millions of entries about other things relating to girls.   Thus, your band name should not be a common word or phrase. A band called Harmony or Black won't work well because it would not come up quickly in searches.  Some bands with names based on common words – like the Eagles or Kansas – were created before search engine optimization was ever a consideration.   Weird spelling can trick people into searching for the wrong thing. So don't get too creative with the spelling. Avoid special symbols like an umlaut or other coding. It can confuse search engines, and sometimes people don’t know how to type it. Using more than one word increases the chances your name can be easily searched (if you use a single word, it needs to be something very unusual). You have to know how far you can push it. But, as a band named Viet Cong learned, if you push it too far, you might have trouble getting gigs.   The meaning shouldn’t condone awful behavior, generally. A Scottish band once called itself Dogs Die in Hot Cars. Not the best image you want for your band, however edgy. Avoid capitalizing on tragedies or human suffering in your band name. If your name is an expletive, some radio stations might not be able to say it. You want to avoid band names that are cliched now because they were trends...

Think about positive qualities and characteristics that you like about the person, such as humor, loyalty, compassion, or creativity. Think of specific examples because those examples will give you a glimpse into your future relationship.  Pay attention to whether or not the person is trustworthy. Notice if the person is happy for you when good things happen in your life. How the person interacts with other people and whether or not they are kind is important. Most people find this type of person attractive because if they are kind to others they will likely be kind to you. Examples of altruism is volunteering to help those less fortunate and being available to help friends. Participating in activities together will give you an opportunity to figure out whether or not you like the person and also what you like about them. Actively listen to the person and ask open-ended questions that require them to really open up and talk. For example, you can ask: “Tell me about your childhood and how you became the person you are today.” Participating in a stressful task together is known to build a bond. Consider organizing a volunteer project, or doing something new and exciting together, such as rock climbing or rafting. People who go through a stressful experience together tend to form stronger relationships, but if the event is too overwhelming it may have the opposite effect.

Think about shorter names that might be hidden inside it. For example, the name Steven contains the shorter name Steve. The name Alfred contains Al, Alf, Fred, and Red. Those names in turn might also have nicknames, such as Alfie (for Alf). Many people choose a nickname based on their own first name because it is easy for themselves and others to remember.  Last names can also be a good source of nicknames. For example, people whose last names begin with Mc- or Mac-, as in John McClane, sometimes choose to go by the nickname Mac. A last name itself can also be a nickname. Consider letter combinations in your name that might not be regular names, but which are easy to say. Someone named Steven might think about going by Te or Ven. Nicknames based on your name can be spelled however you like. "Mack" works just as well as "Mac." The pronunciation is more important than the spelling. If you have a reputation for doing something well or standing out in some other way, it can lead to a nickname. Someone with a loud, booming yell might go as Boomer. A very smart person is sometimes called a "brain;" Brain can also be a great nickname. To ensure that the nickname you choose references your own name, look for nicknames that share a first letter with your name, or that rhyme with it. The places you grew up, as well as the places your ancestors lived, can sometimes provide great nicknames. People with ancestors in the Netherlands could choose the nickname Dutch; a person who grew up in Texas might go as Tex or Texie. A strong sense of connection to an ancestral culture can also provide nicknames that mean the same thing as your name means, but in another language or cultural tradition.

Think about the "who, what, where, and when" of coming out.  Be sure about who you want to tell, and that you trust them.  Choose somewhere that is neutral and safe.  Consider spaces that are more private, where there aren't people who you know who could be eavesdropping.  Choose a time that won't feel rushed or shortened by other activities, events, or obligations. You don't want people to be distracted. Consider places that aren't at school or at work.  Avoid spaces where there are people you know and don't trust. Make sure that you want to come out, rather than feeling like you have to. Remember that this is your life, and how you come out is entirely up to you. Be confident in who you are, and share authentically about your experiences with being transgender. Understand your own identity at a transgender person.  It's your life, and you can decide how, and in what ways, to come out.  Be uniquely who you are and share from your experiences with being a transgender person. For example, you might share about what has been a struggle for you, such as feeling out of place among your peers. If coming to terms with being transgender has been a relief for you, then share this as well. Be thoughtful in how you describe and understand yourself as a transgender person. When talking about yourself as transgender, speak firmly with confidence. Be willing to be flexible and responsive to what others have to say. Consider saying, "I am confident that I am transgender.  I know that you may have questions or not know what to say. That's okay.  I'm open to listening." This process won't happen overnight, and will continue to shift and change as you and your loved ones understand more about being transgender.  Know that as you get older, go to different schools, get jobs, or interact with new people that you will still be coming out throughout your life.  Be patient with the process.  While it may be nerve-racking at first, being honest with yourself and others about who you are can be deeply gratifying and make you feel...

Think about the ideals, values, and moral attributes that are important to you.  These might include being a good friend or being healthy. Values and ideals are the ideas about life that you think you need to excel. They are different from goals in that goals are more concrete actions that can be completed. The first step is to figure out what excelling at life means to you, as well as for your values and the kind of life you want to have.  It may take time to sort through all of these questions and to decide what excelling at life truly means for you.  Try to create the broadest possible definition of excelling in life: short-term, long-term, big dreams and small successes.  Get a journal or notebook that you dedicate solely to your new vision of your life and how you want to see yourself succeed. Start by making a list of all the ways you could excel at life, whether they are realistic or not.  Write down your highest aspirations all the way down to simple things like doing the dishes every day. You may find that your definition of excelling at life can start with making small changes every day, whether it has to do with your personal health, finances, career goals, family, romance, personality traits such as being more kind, or nurturing your friendships. Look at your list of the ways you can excel. Then look at your list of values and ideals. Begin to figure out how they match up. Which goals accentuate your views about life and the kind of person you want to be? Start to group the ways you want to excel into similar categories, such as career goals, hobby goals, health goals, family and friendship goals. Then group these into long-term and short-term goals. You might have a health goal of being able to weight-lift 300 pounds, or you might have a career goal of becoming a journalist, or you might want to wash the dishes every night. Now that you have started to get clear on what excelling means for you, start prioritizing your goals.  Which ones are long-term goals that will make you feel like you are...

Think about the reasons you want to work out, and a few fitness goals you’d like to achieve. Put the list somewhere you’ll see it often, like on the refrigerator or near your bathroom mirror.  Try to include both short-term and long-term goals on your list. For instance, you might include, “Be able to do 50 sit-ups,” as well as, “Finish a marathon.” Do not make your workout all about appearance. Looking good is as good a reason as any to work out. However, this has shortcomings as goal in and of itself. Losing weight will probably make you happier with your appearance, but your looks are a mixture of your weight, complexion, fashion, facial features, and other things that working out will not solve.  If you’re working out just because you want to look like a supermodel, you’re probably going to get discouraged because your goals are only achievable for a very, very few. Avoid comparing yourself to other unrealistic goals. If you are 45, even if you got down to your high school weight you will not look 17 years old. "Looking good" is a vague goal, so it may be hard to measure. It can get discouraging if you do not feel you look better, even if maybe you do. Or if your appearance is due to a bad hair day rather than your waistline.   Work up to big goals. If you haven't exercised in months, don't list something impossible (like you want to bench press over 200 pounds). You will be quickly discouraged if you set unattainable goals. ” If you tell yourself you “should” do something or you “have to” do something, you’ll find it harder to get started. Instead, look at your list of goals and remind yourself why you want to work out in the first place. For example, if you think, "I should go for a run right now, but I don't want to," try reminding yourself of a goal, like, "I want to feel stronger and more confident, and running today will help me accomplish that." If you only have one pair of gym shorts or yoga pants, it’s easy to skip working out because you haven’t done laundry. Treat yourself to a few new pieces...

Think about the subjects you excelled in in school. Though it may not be your favorite thing to do, choosing a career based on something you are skilled at can help you excel and provide yourself a secure future. Look at the examples from the previous step if you need ideas. If you are particularly good at certain skills, such as fixing things or making things, this can provide you with a great future career. Schooling may or may not be necessary, but skilled labor is often in demand and you will find it fairly easy to find work.  For example, carpentry, auto repair, construction, and electrical work all benefit from people who are good at fixing things or working with their hands. These also tend to be stable, well-paying jobs. Other skills, such as a skill for cooking, can also be easily turned into a career. If your skills lie more in helping and communicating with other people, there are jobs for you as well. People who communicate and interact with others well can easily get careers as social workers or in marketing and similar business positions. If you’re more the type to take care of others, consider nursing or work as an administrative assistant or office manager. Sometimes it’s hard for us to see the areas in life where we excel. If you don’t think you’re good at anything, ask your parents, other family members, friends, or teachers what they think you’d be good at. Their ideas might surprise you! Your friends and family can also help you network and get you in touch with people in your chosen field. You can also join a MeetUp to meet others that are involved with the work you hope to do.

But you might also think about whether you want someone who will run marathons with you, or someone who will binge-watch TV with you, or someone who works in the same industry as you.

Your relationship should be based on something less superficial than good looks. Chances are, you’re not going to meet anyone if you stay holed up in your house.

Think about the things you most want in life: companionship, children, financial stability, a strong community, artistic success, to live up to your principles, to enjoy yourself. Think of where you would like to be in three years, five years, thirty and fifty years. Don't think "What do I want in a partner?" but rather "What do I want in my life?"  Look at your relationship and see if it supports your life goals. If you find it does not, ask yourself if you are willing to live without things for the sake of the one you are with. Adapt to what you find. Most people are actually terrible at knowing what they want. If you find someone who supports you in your desire and who expands your horizons—someone you care about enough that they have changed you—you might have found your life partner. Romance is not a great predictor of what makes a relationship strong enough to last a lifetime. Rather, truly respecting, enjoying, and caring for your partner will take you through to the end. Don't commit for a lifetime to someone until you have had a chance to become dear friends.  Look for overlapping senses of humor, and the ability to have fun even in mundane or difficult circumstances. Respect your partner's mind. If you don't enjoy the way your partner thinks, you aren't likely to enjoy talking for the rest of your life. Have interests in common. You don't have to do everything together, but you should share some preferences for activities and ways of relating to people. Be equals. Relationships in which one person dominates are unhappy ones. If one of you treats the other in ways that would not be tolerated in the opposite direction, you are headed for trouble.  You and your partner should trust, support, and respect one another.

Think about the things you value most and that you want in a healthy relationship. What are the things you will not compromise on? What are things that are less important to you? For example, if you want to have kids, you will want to find a partner who also wants kids. If you practice religion, you will likely want to find someone who will participate with you. When you head into a new relationship, take time to analyze yourself. Know where you're coming from, and understand where you're heading. This is especially important in terms of how you conduct yourself in relationships. If you know yourself to be a jealous person or you are insecure in relationships, then strive to understand why you feel this way. What lessons have you learned from previous relationships that you can apply to the new relationship? In order to find a partner who is a good fit, you need to be yourself. It is not productive or healthy to constantly pretend to be someone you're not. As the relationship progresses, this will become more tiring and dishonest. Be yourself with your potential boyfriend. If he likes you the way you are, then the relationship might just succeed. Toxic relationships are those that impact you negatively. This might be someone who is manipulative, physically or verbally abusive, controlling, jealous, chronically angry, or isolating. These types of unhealthy relationships will not allow you to flourish or be happy, and they will erode your self-respect. A good boyfriend should not make you afraid, tense, or stressed.  Rather, this person should help alleviate these feelings.

Think about the type of reptile you have.  Does your reptile need water?  What type of light does your reptile need? Is your reptile young?  How large is the reptile expected to grow?  Will the cage be kept inside or outside?  The cage should resemble the reptile's natural habitat as much as possible.  For example, a chameleon would need a tube cage. Turtles, frogs, and some snakes will need water in the tank. Some reptiles eat other insects and animals such as crickets and mice.  Your cage needs to be able to accommodate those animals as well. You do not want those animals escaping into your home. The materials you choose for the cage will depend on your budget and the needs of your reptile. Cages are typically made using screen or mesh, plastic or wooded, or acrylic or glass boxes. Also consider how often you will need to clean the cage.  Unless you have experience working with acrylic and glass, buy pre-cut panels.  The panels can be attached together or you can attach the panels to a wood or plastic frame.  Plastic cages are more expensive, last longer, and hold heat better than glass cages.  Melamine, high pressure particle board with a decorative laminate coating, looks good, holds up well and is easy to clean, but it's heavy. Other options include a good grade of plywood or pre-cut shelving boards. Walls can be made of wood, glass, transparent thermoplastic, or coated wire mesh. Consider building a reptile cage out of existing items, such as an aquarium, old chest of drawers, entertainment center or a refrigerator with the door removed. Your reptile should have room to move around and hide in its cage.  There should also be enough room to incorporate the necessary lighting, heating, and flooring.  Most cages are rectangular in shape.  Small reptiles such as leopard geckos and garter snakes need two to six square feet of space.  Medium sized reptiles such as pythons need six to eight square feet of space. Small reptiles that move around a lot such as bearded dragons need eight to 32 square feet of...

Think about the way your diet currently is and how you want to change it. It’s always good to start small -- you can’t change habits overnight. It also might help to do it with a family member or friend (or even your whole family). Having someone there to commiserate with and keep you on track can be extremely helpful. Shoot for 7-9 servings per day. Eat the ones you know you like and take this opportunity to find tasty new fruits and vegetables. Look for new recipes and preparations to help guide you. And for fruit, if in doubt, throw it in a smoothie. For vegetables, most can be roasted successfully in the oven at high heats to cook, if you aren’t planning to eat them raw. Some of the most health fruits and vegetables are:  Dark, leafy greens (spinach, kale, chard, beet greens) Beets Red peppers Sweet potatoes Berries Apples Kiwis Grapes Papaya These are grains that include the bran, germ, and endosperm.

Think about what made you fall for him in the first place. It could be his looks, personality, or a combination of the two. It could be that you're not even attracted to him and there are other reasons why you're pursuing him—like a vulnerable point in life. Understanding what attracted you to him is the first step to letting go of him. Finding the source of your feelings is also a step towards getting rid of feelings of guilt you may be experiencing. Take some time to reflect on the emotions you’re experiencing. Remember that nothing you’re feeling is wrong or bad. It’s okay to still be in love with him, to be angry at him, or resentful of his girlfriend. Deeply thinking about the situation will help prevent you from acting out on your emotions. Write down your feelings about the situation in a journal. You may still be tempted to be with him. Accept that you need to move on from him. He has a girlfriend, and it is not you. This is difficult to accept sometimes, but you won't be able to get over him until you do. Keep in mind that he may not have a girlfriend later down the road. You can’t be with him now, but that doesn’t necessarily mean you won’t be with him in the future. Even still, move on in order to better your own life. If you have mutual friends, it may not be a good idea to talk to them. Talk to friends and family you trust about the situation. They can listen to you and offer feedback. Even if you don’t want feedback, vocalizing your thoughts will help you come to terms with the situation.

Think about what part of the story you like best and consider if there is an object you could carry that would signal to others your character.  One good option would be to carry a stuffed animal such as a white rabbit or a striped cat.  A plastic flamingo could work well for enacting the croquet scene. Some playing cards, a white rose or a paintbrush could link you to the Disney song “We’re Painting the Roses Red.” An old fashioned bottle with the label “drink me” might fit well in a pinafore pocket. Reread the book, or watch your favorite film version and pay attention to what lines you particularly like.  Write down ideas of phrases that you could plausibly work into conversation.  If you are at a party, pretend to grow or shrink as you eat food or have a drink. Alice is well known for saying “curiouser and curiouser!” in reaction to the many strange things she sees. The Disney film features several songs that you could sing or hum if the occasion arises. If your friends are also dressed as characters from Alice in Wonderland it will be easy for everyone to recognize your chosen character.  The Mad Hatter is a very popular option from the Burton film. The White Rabbit would be a warm costume for a winter activity.

Think about what specifically makes you uneasy in this situation. Is it that you feel that your boyfriend is paying more attention to her than to you? Do you wish that your boyfriend would spend less time with his friends and more time with just you? Try to pinpoint what exactly makes you uncomfortable. Here are some examples of specific situations that might make you uneasy:  The girl touches your boyfriend in what you think is an inappropriate way. On weekends, your boyfriend spends more time with her than he does with you. Your boyfriend texts or calls her when you two are spending quality time together. They flirt in front of you. Let your thoughts sit while your jealousy simmers down a little bit. Make sure that the issues you address in your list are really what is bothering you. Look again at your list the next day and revise it. Designate a time to have a conversation just the two of you. Don’t talk to him when you are initially upset. Instead, address the issue when you are both feeling calm and rational. Here are some ways to begin the conversation:  “I’ve been feeling that you’ve been spending more time with her than with me the past couple of weeks, and it’s been making me feel insecure.” “I love that you’re happy with your friendship with her, but the way she interacts with you sometimes makes me uncomfortable.” “I am happy with our relationship, but I think there are ways that I could feel more valued and respected.” Each couple has their own "rule book" — some couples would seeing going to the movies with another girl as highly inappropriate, whereas other couples would consider this and other intimate contact okay. Having an open conversation about what each partner expects is key to guiding acceptable behaviors. Be clear about your needs — your boyfriend may have no idea his friendship or flirtation with this other girl upsets you.  Work on defining these expectations with your boyfriend. You might say something like, "I don't want you to give up your friendships with other girls, but I would...

Think about what you want and why. Is it an object or an experience? Once you know what it is, ask yourself the following questions. They will prepare you for the conversation ahead: Why do you want this? Why should your parents get it for you? If you can't think of a good answer, then don't ask your parents yet. If you don't know why you want something, they’re less likely to give it to you.  To know what is a "good" reason to your parents, look at what they value. Depending on differences in culture and family this could be many things. Helping with family business and caring for siblings may impress some parents, whereas efforts in school and extracurricular activities may convince other parents more effectively. Figure out when they have praised and appreciated your actions; these are "good" reasons to get you what you want. It's also possible that some parents will be more impressed by logical arguments. Prepare a few good reasons why you want or need this item/trip/experience. It will show your parents you aren’t just acting on impulse or cravings, and have given thought before coming to them. Some "good" examples may be that it will help you progress in school, prepare you for adulthood, or help you grow as a person. Other "good" answers may be that it will feed your imagination, bring you relief from the challenges in your life, or benefit the entire family and/or community. Reasons that focus on self-centered, or irrational wants will be less convincing. For example don’t say, “because my friend has one.” Parents will often take this to mean you are just following fads, want to be like others, and won’t really value the gift. Other not so "good" reasons are that you "just want it," that you “deserve it,” or that you “need to have it.” Also, complaining that they are mean parents if they don't get it for you is also unlikely to work.

Think about what you want to do and how long it will take. For example, if you need to plan an outfit and shave your beard, you may only need an hour or so. However, if you want to do makeup and style your hair, you will need as much time as you can get. If you’re on a time crunch, try to do some things ahead of time. For example:  Plan your outfit the day before. Do your hair before you go to work or school. If you dye your hair, touch up your roots a few days in advance. A large part of looking great is being clean. While you shower, complete any other grooming activities, such as shaving your legs, exfoliating your skin, or touching up your roots with hair dye.  Remember to apply deodorant after showering. Other shower grooming activities include:  Conditioning your hair to give it a silky shine Taking a bath to help you relax for the party Scrubbing your skin with a loofah to rub away dead skin After showering, cover your skin with moisturizer to make your skin glow and repair any damaged skin cells.  This step is especially important if you like taking hot showers or if you have recently exfoliated your skin. Additionally, wait thirty minutes after moisturizing to apply any makeup or it may slide off.  If you’ve shaved your legs, moisturize with baby oil to give them a glamorous shine.  If your face is oily, use a special moisturizer for acne-prone skin. For special occasions, consider using a tinted or shimmering moisturizer. If you have long hair, you may need to blow dry it before styling it. If you have short hair, you can let it air dry. If you don’t know how to style your hair, there are many helpful YouTube videos that will teach you how. Alternatively, if you’re attending an especially formal event, consider getting your hair styled professionally.  To straighten your hair, you will need a blow dryer, a brush, a straightening iron, and soft styling spray. If you want to curl your hair, you will need curlers or a curling iron and some setting hairspray. Men can style their hair with pomade or gel...

Think about what you want to say in your prayer letter and quickly take a few notes. This will help you stay on track while you’re writing your letter to God. Make a short outline regarding the topics you want to cover in your letter. The act of writing in itself can be very cathartic and cleansing. Keeping your thoughts organized by taking a few notes ahead of time will ensure that you remember to discuss all of the pressing issues in your life. When we pray, it can often be easy to lose our train of thought or get sidetracked by some other idea that crosses your mind. When you write a prayer letter to God, you are able to focus on the task at hand and keep your thoughts organized.  Think about one prayer item at a time and write about it in your letter. Don’t move on to the next topic until you’ve said what you want to say about each thing. The Bible tells us that we should pray ceaselessly every day. This means that we should always be talking to God throughout the day. But writing a prayer letter is a great way to spend some focused time on one particular issue rather than thinking about all the things that happen in your life. Focus on getting clarity on this one issue instead of trying to resolve too many things at once. Praying to God is a very personal experience. In this moment, you are free to converse with your Lord however you want to. You can discuss anything you want in any way that you want. Don’t feel pressure to do it a certain way. The important thing is to remember that there isn’t one right way to pray to God. This also applies to writing a prayer letter.

Think about what you want to say to your family member. Avoid confronting them right away, especially if you’re feeling too angry or hurt to stay calm. Give yourself time to cool down and consider your approach. One helpful strategy is to write your family member a letter that you don’t actually intend to give them. Put the letter away for a few hours or overnight. Then come back to it and revise it. This will help you sort out your feelings and decide what to say. To understand the seriousness of their mistake, your family member needs to know what kind of emotional impact their theft had on you. Tell them how disappointed and betrayed you feel.  Stay as calm as you can. Don’t raise your voice or let your emotions get the better of you. Say something like, “I am so disappointed that you took the money in my wallet. I never would have guessed that you would do something like that.” This part of the conversation will probably be uncomfortable, but it is necessary. If your family member doesn’t feel remorse for what they’ve done, they may try to steal from you again in the future. Your family member may say things like “I was only borrowing it” or “I meant to ask you, but I forgot.” Don’t believe them or let them off so easily. Even if their excuses happen to be true, taking your things without asking is still stealing, and your family member needs to know better. Have your family member help you come up with a plan for making things right. If they took an item, they should return it or replace it. If they stole money, they should pay it back. Make a payment plan if necessary. Let your family member know what you will do if they don’t make amends. Set some consequences so that your family member won’t get away with their theft, even if they refuse to cooperate with you. Your consequences should depend on the nature of the theft. Some possible consequences could include not allowing the person in your house anymore, severing your relationship with them, or going to the police. If the person who stole from you is...

Think about where your book takes place. Think about what the architecture looks like, how cities are laid out, what the natural environment looks like, etc. Now, write all of that down. This will allow you to (first of all) be consistent in your descriptions but also more detailed, creating richer more realistic environments. You can tell someone the sky is green, you just have to make them believe it by telling them how at sunset it faded from the pale green of a leaf’s belly to a rich green which made everything seem dull by comparison before darkness set into an almost iridescent color like a crow’s feathers. Make them see it by understanding it well enough yourself that you can explain it. Say you are writing about a band of adventurers trying to reach a fabled city on the other side of a mountain. That’s great. The problem is, it takes a long time to cross a mountain. Things are bound to happen during the crossing of a mountain. You cannot simply have them cross in two days as if it is no big problem. If they have to cross a continent on foot, you need to allocate time for that in your plot. You will need to appeal to all of your audience’s senses if you want them to be fully immersed in the text. Don't just tell them what your characters ate. Tell them how the juice of the meat burst forth as they bit into it and the taste is a mix of the grease and the smoke from the fire. Don’t just tell them that a bell was ringing right above your character’s head. Tell them about how the sound was so loud that it pierced every thought until only an awareness of the ringing persisted.

Think about which environmental factors and study skills help you retain information and do your best on exams. Decide whether you prefer to work in a quiet space by yourself or if a public place like a library or coffee shop helps keep you on task. Reflect on whether you remember facts better when for you to review your own lecture notes or when you skim the textbook and old class assignments. Figure out what combination of factors will bring out your most positive, productive, and focused self so you can implement this system into all future study sessions.  Think back to past study sessions that went especially well, and others that didn’t go well at all, to assess which factors help and hinder your progress. If you’re able to develop a personalized study system, studying will be a lot less stressful for you. Studying day after day can be grueling, but rather than fixating on the negatives, get yourself in a positive frame of mind by visualizing all the good that your hard work will bring. Imagine yourself getting a good score on a test, receiving praise from your teacher, or feeling proud of your end-of-term grades. Let these good feelings wash over you as you reframe your perspective on studying.  If you’re hoping to attend college or earn a scholarship, think about how each small study session will get you 1 step closer to your dreams. Use your long-term goals as motivation to keep pushing yourself. Set concrete goals for your study session. Divide your larger studying goals into small, manageable steps. Identify specific, achievable goals that you can work on one at a time. This way, you can make good progress and achieving each goal will make you feel accomplished at the end of your study session.  It’s easy to get overwhelmed by a huge amount of homework and seemingly endless assignments. But rather than worrying, “How will I ever finish this assignment?” ask yourself, “How much of this assignment can I accomplish in 2 hours?” Instead of trying to read a whole book in 1 sitting, set a goal to read 1...

Think about which flower(s) are going to act as the star for the centerpieces, such as hydrangeas, tulips, lilies, etc, and then decide if you are going to focus on a certain color palette or mix of shades and tones to choose the complementary flowers.  Purchase cut flowers from a florist with good quality flowers and lots of variety. If you are going to use a mixed variety of flowers for the arrange, collect five varieties of leaves or shapes. If you are going for a more simple arrangement, look for perhaps one star flower and one complementing flower with a different leaf shape. Ask your wedding planner to recommend a florist or call around and compare prices for wedding arrangements from several florists.  There are also online sites where you can order floral arrangements in bulk, a great option if you are creating centerpieces for a large wedding.  If you decide to use silk flowers instead of fresh ones, order silk flowers online in bulk and create your own silk flower arrangements. You may want to also consider using succulents or tropical plants to create a unique look for the centerpieces. The type of container for the floral arrangements you use should complement the color or theme of the wedding, as well as the size, shape, and color of the flowers. You could use classic glass vases, mason jars, or alternative holders like wicker baskets or clay pots. Look for vessels that are one to two inches shorter than the flowers you are going to use. A wide neck on a vase or jar allows the flowers to sit higher on longer stems, which more narrow vases or jars are usually better for shorter stems. Because you are going to be using fresh cut flowers, avoid wilting buds or dull petals by creating the centerpieces the day before the wedding and then storing them in a cooler or refrigerator until the reception so the flowers remain fresh looking. You will also need a pair of scissors (or several pairs if someone is assisting you) and access to fresh water. Fill the container about halfway with water. Place the...

Think about who populates the universe. Is it humans and human-like being? If so, what type of humans are in the universe? You may base the humans in the universe on human groups that exist in our world or merge several groups to create the humans of your fictional universe.  For example, you may decide that there is a race of humans that were colonized by another race to create a hybrid race. You may use elements of American slavery and the colonization of indigenous peoples in Canada as templates for the human groups in your universe. If you do use existing human groups as a template for the people in your universe, make sure they are multi-dimensional and not based solely on stereotypes. You are creating a fictional universe, after all, so you can add in nuances and oddities as you see fit, even to the humans who inhabit the universe. Your universe may also have otherworldly beings or creatures, such as elves, dwarves, and fairies. You may have otherworldly creatures who live among humans or a universe populated by only creatures and no humans. You can also make up your own species, where there are magical elements and human elements present in the beings in your universe. Let your creativity run wild and create a species that will be unique and engaging. You may also want to account for the role of certain objects in the universe and their role. These could be objects that are used by every being in the universe or objects that are only used by a select few. Start by focusing on objects that have an important role in the universe and then move down to less important objects that are used in the more mundane aspects of the universe. For example, maybe the universe is held together by a central object, such as a shard of dragon’s glass or a molten ball of gold. Or, maybe the universe is populated by special objects that grow on trees or on the graves of the dead. Use your imagination to sketch out several key objects in the universe to make it feel more detailed and well-rounded. Though not every fictional...

Think about who your time capsule is for. This will help you pick contents, a location for the capsule, and a container. Whether you plan to open the capsule yourself, you would rather have your grandchildren open it, or you want a stranger from the distant future to stumble upon it, you should be clear about your intent. If you are struggling to find an audience, think about what kind you would most like to open. Do you wish your grandparents had left you a time capsule filled with memorabilia and handwritten notes? Does the thought of opening a 150 year old capsule left by someone lost to time long ago thrill you? . Depending on your audience, you may have different priorities for your contents. You can always collect more objects for your time capsule than you end up putting in. Your only limits are space and the ability of your capsule contents to be safely stored.  If the capsule is for yourself, focus on personal mementos of your life as it is right now. Things like a pair of earbuds you wore every day for 2 years, an old key, or a takeout menu from a favorite restaurant will bring memories back in just a few years. For a time capsule that you plan to pass down to your children or grandchildren, find things that will interest them about your life and your world. Both personal objects of significance to you and your family, like wedding invitations, and things that depict the state of the world, like technology, are good choices. If your capsule is for people in the far future to uncover long after you are gone, focus on the era you are in. Things that may seem to be of little value now may be fascinating to someone in 75 or 100 years. Write down all of the contents and place the list in the capsule and in your records. This will help future openers know that everything is in place, and help you remember what you put in the capsule.

Think about who you’d be if you were fully expressing your values. Where would you want to live? What type of work would you do? How would you spend your free time? Make sure your choices are aligned with the personal values you’ve identified. For example, you might decide that in your ideal life you’d be helping people get fit through dance. You might imagine yourself living in a big city on the coast, teaching cardio dance classes at a gym, and going to the beach with friends in your spare time. Additionally, you might decide you want to own several pets because you love animals. Finding a career that fits your personal values helps you find meaning and purpose in life. Think about the types of tasks you might enjoy doing on a daily basis, what type of environment you’d want to work in, and who you’d like to work with. Then, look for a career that reflects these values. For instance, let’s say you want to help people in your community and do community impact projects. Careers that have these qualities might include nonprofit work, government and political jobs, social work, urban planning, and public health. Brainstorm 3-5 things you can do to start living your best life. Break down your list into steps that are easy to complete. Then, pick 1 thing that you can do today. Going forward, choose 1 small thing each day that you can do to start aligning your life and career with your values. Over time, you should find that your life is more aligned with your values. This process can be slow or quick, depending on what’s comfortable for you.

Think about why you are concerned about your child. Do they seem to be feeling differently? Have they had unexplained changes in mood? Maybe it seems like your child is acting fearful for no clear reason. It is possible that it could be marijuana use. Marijuana is a psychoactive substance; it interacts with the user's brain, temporarily changing the way he or she thinks and feels. Smoking marijuana can cause cognitive impairment during a high which increases as more marijuana is consumed. If you think your child may be high, look for the following mental symptoms:  Slowed reaction time Impaired decision-making Diminished memory A tendency to "space out" or lose the thread of conversations Paranoia or irrational beliefs that one is in danger. This symptom may be more common among users with existing psychiatric problems or a predisposition to them. It's normal to be concerned about your teenager, but it is also normal for teens to go through rapid mood changes. At times, trying to keep track of your child's moods can seem like you are on a roller coaster. It is important to remember that teenagers are going through a lot of changes, both physically and emotionally. Some changes in behavior and mood are typical. Try doing some research or asking a trusted friend for advice in order to help you better understand your teen's actions. Even though your teen might not always acknowledge it, you are one of the most important people in his life. Your relationship is sometimes a big factor in why your teen behaves the way he does. Try to step back and objectively think about your relationship. Has anything changed recently? Is it possible that your teen is acting differently as a reaction to something that is going on in your home life? Although teens often behave in a confusing manner, not all of it can be chalked up to normal teenage angst. Pay close attention to all aspects of your child's life, while at the same time respecting their boundaries and growing independence. If the signs are all pointing to possible...

Think about why you need your short bio. Is it for a personal website, work profile, or fellowship application? Knowing who will read your description can help you figure out how to achieve the right overall tone. Check any guidelines for the bio provided by your (potential) employer, publication, or other organization. When in doubt, find out if there’s a contact person, and ask any questions you may have about specific requirements.  For instance, a job application, author bio, or company directory listing may call for 100 to 300 words. Your bio might need to be longer for a grant proposal or bio for your professional website. In addition to length, your description may need to follow a set order, such as name and title, education history, research focus, and achievements. Short bios typically list your most important awards and accomplishments. Write down your academic degrees, awards, and professional achievements, such as major work project, publications, or certifications. Depending on the nature of your description, list personal accomplishments, too, such as running marathons or visiting every state capitol building.  Examples of professional accomplishments include “Revamped purchasing protocols to cut the company’s costs by 20%” or “Recognized as the company’s top-grossing salesperson for fiscal year 2017.” Avoid simply writing a list of personal characteristics, like “enthusiastic” or “hardworking.” Focus on including specific skills, awards, and achievements that make you unique. Incorporate skills specific to your industry or discipline into your bio, such as “inventory management,” “network security,” or “research design.” To come up with keywords, check job descriptions for positions you’ve held or are applying to, as well as entries on your resume or CV. Industry-specific keywords are especially important for online job profiles and resume summaries. Employers and recruiters use search engines and software to scan profiles and resumes for keywords related to a job posting. If you’re writing a...

Think about why you want to experience your first kiss? Is it because you think you have to in order to be “cool”? Or, is it because you feel that you actually want to have this experience? There might be many reasons you want to experience your first kiss, but in general it is a good idea to wait until you feel ready for it. Choose someone that you feel comfortable with, and who wants to kiss you back. Typically, this will be your boyfriend or girlfriend, but in some cases it may also be a close friend who wants to have the experience too. Whoever it is, it will be more enjoyable if it is someone you trust and feel comfortable with. Although the cutest girl or boy in school might be an obvious choice, it doesn’t mean they are the best choice. You should choose someone you find attractive on the inside as much as the outside. Ask trusted friends about their first kiss, and how they prepared themselves. Ask them what advice they can give you. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can also discuss it with your parents. Don't be afraid to ask questions. Almost every one can remember the nervousness and worries they had before their first kiss. . It's likely that you will be worrying about all the things that could go wrong during your first kiss. Ignore these thoughts. Instead, let yourself think only positive thoughts. For example, you can think about how you've taken good care of your lips and mouth, making you very kissable. You can think about how into you the person you will be kissing is, and how romantic it will be. Although you will be nervous, remember that you deserve to be kissed! Believe that the kiss will go well, and although it may not go perfectly, it will all be OK. Remember that even if it doesn't go perfectly, it is only the first of many. Nearly everyone feels nervous when kissing someone for the first time. This is a biological reaction to our excitement, and doesn’t mean anything bad.  Remember that this also goes for the person kissing you back. It can sometimes be a comfort to remember...

Think about your current state of mind and life circumstances and ask yourself if your romantic feelings might be caused by these factors. Sometimes life events can cause people to seek comfort, stability, excitement, or validation from other people in our lives who they don't genuinely want to be with. Avoid pursuing a relationship with your best friend if you might be using them to feel better. For instance, you may seek comfort and distraction in a romance with your best friend after a death in the family. Take things slowly in your new relationship so that you can both figure out your feelings without distractions. Romantic touching and sexual contact can blur the lines of a relationship and confuse boundaries. Try to let your physical relationship evolve naturally out of genuine chemistry and affection. Acting on physical urges too soon may make the situation awkward or increase the intensity of your relationship very quickly. Moving slowly is a good way of avoiding confusing hot-and-cold behaviour. Making a grand romantic move one week, then acting like a casual buddy the next will leave your friend unsure of your feelings. Take things slow and gradually build up to bigger gestures or commitments so you won't be overwhelmed by the situation. For instance, don't show up to your friend's workplace with flowers one day and introduce them to colleagues as your "buddy" a few days later. Taking things to the next level with your best friend can reinforce an already strong bond, making it tempting to spend all of your time with them. Take some time apart to pursue your own interests and to make sure that you get the chance to miss each other. This will make you appreciate each other even more while reducing the risk of becoming annoying to each other. For example, take time to visit with other friends or spend some quiet time alone at home.

Убедитесь, что ваши романтические чувства — не временный порыв. Не торопитесь переходить к интимной близости, пока не убедитесь, чтобы между вами имеется взаимопонимание. Будьте последовательны в своих романтических порывах, чтобы избежать замешательства. Не занимайте все личное пространство человека, чтобы не утомиться друг от друга.


Think about your personal style icons: people you consider to be the height of style. Whether it's Kanye West, Ralph Lauren, James Dean, or Walt Whitman, try and wonder what they're trying to accomplish with their style. If it is truly "the perfection of a point of view," think what your icon's point of view might've been, and think about what your point of view might be. Whatever it is, let it guide you when you shop and dress. Consider how you'd like others to think of you, or your style. Is it classic? Do you aim to be an iconoclast? Style isn't dressing "well," or "fashionably," it's dressing for your character. There are no style "don'ts" and only really one style "do:" wear what you want, and own it. If you're a high school student, it won't do to clothe yourself as a full English gentleman. If you're a construction worker, you'll need to leave the Armani for the weekend. Tailor your point of view to the life you lead in order to feel as stylish as you look, and to make your style a part of your everyday life. Playing the style peacock only feels as good as your life will allow; it won't feel great wearing your Bruno Maglis if you've got to stand all day as a cashier, for instance. If your school or work maintain a strict dress code, push it to its limits (accepting the risk, of course). In these situations, don't underestimate the power of style-through-detail: make unique choices wherever possible. If you're sporting Gucci, don't act like a boozy frat boy. If you're channeling Kanye West, don't be afraid to loosen your gait and walk with a swagger. If your clothing echoes a certain point of view, allow your behavior to do the same. This is key to feeling stylish, as it completes the personal connection you've drawn between yourself and your outfit. Let your clothes inspire confidence. Do your best to transfer how you feel strutting in the mirror in the morning to how you feel going about your day, realizing that nothing's changed from being in front of that mirror to being at work, or school.

Think about your personal values and needs when considering your future career.  Carefully examining your own needs and wants when it comes to your career can help you choose one that is a great fit for your personality and skills.  Writing down your wants and needs can help you organize your thoughts and see them clearly. Think about where you would like to work.  For example, do you prefer an office, a restaurant, or the outdoors? Ask yourself if you prefer to work alone or with a team. Examine your preferences when it comes to deadlines.  Do you like a busy and tight schedule or do you prefer to have things more open ended? Try to think of positions that don't have a college education as a requirement.  Some examples are gas plant operators, subway operators, electrical power line repairers and installers, and farmers. Aptitude tests help you evaluate your skills and abilities, scoring you on specific criteria.  Knowing which areas you are already proficient with can help you narrow down your choices when looking for a future career.  Many aptitude tests are available online and are free. Some of the areas tested will be logic, numerical and verbal reasoning, spelling, math and computer skills. If desired, you can prepare before taking the test by taking an inventory of your interests, strengths, and weaknesses. There are many on-line quizzes that you can take that will help you to better understand which careers might be the best for you.  Many of these quizzes are created and offered by both professional services or governmental services and can give you an accurate idea of which careers you might enjoy.  Try some of the following quizzes to learn more about your career preferences:  http://careers.state.gov/work/foreign-service/officer/career-track-quiz http://joboutlook.gov.au/careerquiz.aspx http://www.careerbridge.wa.gov/survey_cluster.aspx http://www.rasmussen.edu/resources/aptitude-test/ A benefit of college is that it has very rigid requirements and schedules when it comes to learning new...

Think about your strengths and feel proud of them. Do things that make you feel good about yourself--take time to finish that painting you started or go on a run. Acknowledging that something bad happened to you, and realizing that you are strong enough to deal with it is a key part of getting over your heartbreak. Make a list of your strengths. Remind yourself of your accomplishments, and the good qualities you have. The act of writing them out can remind you of them, or you can create a list and read it whenever you feel down. You are not alone in the world. Look for a trusted friend or advisor, or a close relative, and tell them how you feel. Sometimes just getting your feelings off your chest can help you work through them. Additionally, you never know what help other people can give, whether it's good advice, or just a shoulder to cry on. Physical exercise causes your body to release serotonin (a chemical that makes us feel happy) and stimulates the growth of nerve cells. On an emotional level, exercising may help you to feel like you are becoming the master of yourself again. Plus, you'll look better too.  You don't need a full workout. Something as simple as 10-15 minutes a day doing a simple exercise like jogging or yoga can be enough to get you a good frame of mind. Even work that doesn't feel like exercise, like weeding a garden or taking a walk outside, gets you some fresh air while you move. The most important thing is that you stay consistent in what you do.  If you're feeling down, it can be hard to motivate yourself to exercise. Work around that by distracting yourself with something enjoyable. Maybe just walk through a mall or some other place you enjoy. You can also give yourself something to do only while exercising, like listening to certain music you enjoy, or watch your favorite TV show while on a machine. That will keep your mind off the workout and onto something you enjoy. As long as you leave that only for exercising, it can give you something fun to come back to.  You can always ask...

Think about your various perspectives and how they shape you and your world. Considering these views will help you start to make proactive changes.  List your perspectives on a piece of paper so that it’s easier to see and think about them. You can also make notes or comments on each part as necessary. Be very honest with yourself about your perspectives so that it’s easier to make changes.  You also need to think about how these perspectives shape you as a person. Do they tend to make you a negative person or make you less likely to take risks? For example, if you believe that a woman can’t be the head of state or a CEO, acknowledge this perspective and then consider how it influences and shapes you in every aspect of your life. You may discover that your perspective is clouding your judgment of all women. Your perspectives form throughout your life based on factors such as family, education, culture, and life experiences. Considering what influences your perspectives may help you to reformulate them.  Your life experiences including illness, travel, jobs, religion, politics, and your television and reading habits inform your perspective. Broadening your horizons with other experiences may help start to change your perspective on them and the wider world around you. The people with whom you surround yourself, including family and friends, influence your perspective of yourself and life. Confining yourself to certain people or types of people may hinder your ability to change your perspectives. Education and learning have a significant impact on your perspectives. Not keeping yourself continually informed can keep your perspectives from developing. Once you’ve had a chance to think about your perspectives and what informs them, envision how your life might be if you changed your perspectives. This may help you to see not only the benefits of changing your perspectives, but also may begin to change them.  Try the simple exercise of doing a handstand or laying in the grass and looking up at the sky. Both...

Think ahead to what you plan to use the okra for. If you're putting it in a stew, chop it horizontally to create chunks. If you plan to serve it as a side dish or stuff it, chop it lengthwise to create strips. Leave the seeds intact. If you want to make fried okra, it's best to bread it before freezing. Follow the steps in the next section. Lay out the pieces in a single layer and make sure none of them are touch. Put the tray in the freezer and freeze the okra for 1 hour, or until the pieces are firm and slightly icy. Don't leave the okra in the freezer uncovered for longer than this, or the chill will affect their texture. Fill each freezer bag to within an inch of the top with the frozen okra pieces. Close the top of the bag, leaving just enough space to stick a straw into the empty headspace. Suck the air out of the bag so that it closes tight around the okra, then remove the straw and seal the bag.  Removing the air will keep the okra from breaking down as quickly. If you have a vacuum sealer, the machine will remove the air for you. Consider labeling your bags with the date they were packed. Frozen okra can be added to stew, soup, and casseroles without thawing it first. In fact, it's best to immediately cook the okra instead of thawing it first. The more the okra is handled, the likelier it is to get mushy.

Think back as to whether your spouse has recently become condescending or whether he or she has been condescending your entire relationship. You can do this by asking yourself some questions: Did you originally marry someone who came into the relationship with a condescending attitude, or did it develop later in the marriage?  Determining if this is a new behavior or an attitude that he already held can help you figure out how best to handle his inappropriate behavior.  Did your spouse completely change after marriage?  Is it possible that you didn’t see your spouse for the person he really is or was he putting on a game face before marriage to seal the deal? Could a new job be influencing your spouse's behavior? From on-the-job stress to feeling heady about being promoted to a lofty position, job influences can have a powerful impact on even the most unflappable personality. While this information can help you figure out more about why your partner is being condescending, when you confront your spouse, be sure to keep the conversation focused and on the present. You can get a sense of whether the condescension is motivated by something you may have done by looking at when the condescending remarks are likely to occur. Do they only occur in certain contexts, such as in parenting discussions? Or, are they more widespread? Nailing down a specific time and circumstance will help you determine if your spouse has a trigger behavior or context. However, keep in mind that sometimes people don't know their own motivations for their behaviors, so don't get stuck on this step if it is not helpful for you personally.   If your spouse is condescending to you in the context of being around his work colleagues, does the behavior occur in front of the boss, equals or subordinates (or everyone at work)?  What kinds of comments are delivered?  Does he talk down to you when you try to weigh in on what’s happening at work? One possibility is that your spouse feels intimidated or even embarrassed by your job and covers up his...

Think back over your relationship and try to identify whether there has been a lack of conscience or guilt on your friend's part. To help clear your thoughts, write down the facts and your feelings for each moment when you felt wronged. There may be trends or correlations. For instance, note the time your friend got you both a failing grade by copying off your exam, then blamed you for not making your test easier for them to see. Don't let sorrow or embarrassment cloud what your collected evidence tells you. It's natural to be in denial, as your friend's apparent sociopathy will be hard to swallow. But the sooner you accept the reality of the situation, the sooner you can address it honestly.  You can rightly feel upset if you have been abused and manipulated. But don't feel ashamed — many sociopaths are expert abusers and manipulators and it has nothing to do with you. You are/were a means to an end for them. Your friend may not be a "friend" in the normal sense. It's not entirely clear whether a true sociopath can ever really be a friend — some experts say they can't truly experience emotions like caring, while others disagree. You'll have to work out the unique circumstances of your friend and your friendship. Someone who is a true sociopath will not allow their reputation to be discredited and they will do whatever is possible to protect their reputation. Therefore, it is best to avoid accusing them of things or trying to justify your reason for ending the relationship. Instead, just end it. Sociopaths may become verbally aggressive when their integrity is questioned, so it is best to avoid confrontation. A sociopath may seek to make you feel sorry for them as a means to regain power and maintain their image. If you feel sorry for questioning them, they consider this a victory rather than caring about the reasons for your doubt.

Think back to the managers you’ve had in your career. Whose style worked and whose didn’t? Which managers did a good job coaching and motivating people? If you are still in contact with any of them, set up an appointment to meet. Ask any questions that you have. Don’t expect someone to give you the silver bullet to being a great manager. Becoming an effective manager requires time, effort, and experience. You’ll be wearing a lot of different hats as a manager. Suddenly, you might be responsible for signing off on timesheets, hiring staff, and giving performance reviews. Ask Human Resources if there are trainings you can take to learn the nuts and bolts. Realize that you’ll learn more from experience than formal training. The best way to learn to manage people is to roll up your sleeves and start working. There is also a mountain of literature on how to manage people. Reading books on the topic can help you understand the experiences of others and how you can craft a management style that works best for you. Go to the bookstore or library and pick up some of the following:  Blanchard and Johnson, The One Minute Manager  Covey, The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People  Maxwell, The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership  Carnegie, How to Win Friends and Influence People Contact your local college or university to see what is offered. Common management courses cover topics such as organizational behavior, labor-management relations, and small business management. You can ask your supervisor whether the company will cover the costs associated with the courses. If you don’t have a college degree, you can work towards a bachelor’s in business management. If you already have a four-year degree, consider earning a Master’s in Business Administration (MBA). As a manager, you now have a new professional identity. Instead of being an individual contributor with a narrow focus, you must now realize that you are responsible for setting the group’s agenda. You are now a leader, not only a worker. You also aren’t a peer with...

Think back to when you first met your crush. Try to recall if you still feel the same or if your feelings have grown since then. What's commonly called “love at first sight” is often a sudden physical attraction, or infatuation. Love, on the other hand, increases over time from mere attraction to something deeper. Think about what you like and don't like about your crush. Seeing your reasons on paper might help you to better assess your feelings. Noting their drawbacks will toss a little cold water on your passions and let you think a little clearer about what it is that you do like. Make each side as long as you can. Don't worry about how major or trivial each pro or con is. Write down everything that comes to mind. You could include:  Pros: good-looking, kind, someone I can talk to Cons: disorganized, immature at times, can be needy Analyze your pros and cons in terms of whether you're looking at reality or an idealized image of your crush. Circle or highlight which pros intensify your feelings and which cons don't affect how you feel. Evaluate whether those reasons are trivial or significant. If you can't accept the whole person—flaws and all—you're not in love.  For example, you might be in love if you overlook their messiness because you're too busy appreciating their generosity or engaging conversations. On the other hand, you might not be in love if the sight of them makes feel warm and fuzzy, but you can't imagine a future with them. Pay attention to whether you share their happiness or sadness when they tell you good or bad news. For example, if you start to tear up when your crush tearfully tells you their grandmother died, you're feeling their pain. This is a good sign that you're in love. Ask yourself whether you mean it when you say, “I miss you.” Most lasting romantic love has an underlying bond that remains relatively steady over time. This doesn't mean you fret over missing them every second; in fact, that would be an unhealthy kind of attachment. But, missing your partner and wanting to bond...

Think basic shapes, ABCs, and simple trees and flowers. Use either pastels or strong colors, but avoid bright, neon shades that may overwhelm your young child. Skip the pastels and neon shades, and stick with strong, eye-catching hues. Once your kid reaches school age, he or she will likely have his or her own interests and obsessions. Interests often include anything from animals to cityscapes and ballerinas to sports. Build a theme around your child's interests and paint wall art specifically tailored to those interests. Images that use simple shapes and abstract designs will likely appeal to your maturing child more than specific pictures. Use muted colors or bright, funky shades depending on your child's personality.

Think bold geometric designs for sweaters or Hawaiian print for shirts. Look for a thick sweater with a bulky, boxy cut. Authentic jackets had a black tag over the breast pocket that read "Members Only," but if you cannot find an authentic jacket, simply mimic the style. Look for a cotton-polyester jacket with a nylon lining, elastic waistband, elastic wrists, a zipper front, and snaps at the neck. Choose a coat in any color. Light acid wash jeans work best. Find a style that fits snug around your legs, since men in tight jeans were more fashionable during this decade than those in baggy jeans. In the early 1980s, these pants were tighter, but by the end of the decade, they were exceptionally baggy. Look for a pair of pants made from shiny synthetic material. If possible, find one with multiple zippers, since these were considered more stylish. If you want a more professional look, go for a conservative cut suit jacket in a pastel blue or other light color. Pair the jacket with white pants. This look is also known as the "Miami Vice" look. Loafers work best when paired with pastel suit jackets and other conservative styles. If you decide to go with acid wash jeans or parachute pants, find a heavy pair of sneakers or boots. Consider thick-soled black boots that lace up. Run a volume-enhancing hair product through your hair to give it a little extra lift. Keep your locks in place with hair gel or hairspray.

Think carefully about the size that you want. If you like to include a lot of details, you’ll probably need a larger notebook. But something smaller will be easier to carry, and it will take up less room in your backpack.  You’ll also have a choice of bindings. Spiral-bound notebooks lie flat, but composition books and similar notebooks with a sewn binding won’t damage your other books and papers, as spiral bindings sometimes do.  If you like to keep all of your papers together, consider purchasing a notebook that has a folder attached or a pocket inside the front cover. If you choose to draw a biweekly calendar rather than listing your assignments, you may find that blank, grid-lined, or grid-dotted paper is a good choice. Also include any information that would help someone return your planner if you lose it. This includes your grade level, phone number, and/or student ID number. This way, you’ll have it available for easy reference.

Think heavy-knit cottons, wools, cashmere, and traditional flannel fabric, among others. Stay away from sheer, flimsy materials, especially as the weather gets cooler. Heavy materials will keep you warmer, and they also look more appropriate than light materials. Sweaters scream fall and winter. Lighter sweaters, like cardigans, with standard or low necklines work especially well for fall, when the weather is chilly yet not quite frigid. Wear tank tops and camisoles underneath low-cut blouses and vests over long-sleeve t-shirts. Layers keep you warmer and give your style more versatility. Dress according to the temperature. During early fall, while the weather is still somewhat warm, stick with short sleeves or three-quarter-length sleeves. Move onto long sleeves once the weather gets chillier. Fall fashions include a broad range of sleeve lengths, so wear whatever makes sense on a day-to-day basis. Standard and low necklines may work during early autumn, but once the weather starts turning colder, branch into higher necklines. Think turtlenecks and cowl-necks.

Think of a few activities that you find interesting and enjoyable. Keep a mental list of things to do when you start to obsess. If you have a list of go-to activities in mind, you can quickly redirect yourself when necessary. Examples might include gardening, reading a good novel, listening to music (that doesn’t remind you of the person), playing a video game, playing an instrument, drawing, painting, or exercising. Think of a project you’ve put on the back burner recently. While it doesn’t need to be related to the person, it might be something you’ve put off because of obsessive thoughts or actions. Finish that project, and think about how it represents your ability to move past your obsession.  For example, perhaps you haven’t been practicing the piano or cleaning your room. Maybe you've been falling behind on projects at work or school. Accomplishing a task, especially one you’ve been putting off, is a great way to cultivate a positive, self-empowering state of mind. or try relaxation techniques. Wear loose clothing, play soothing music, and sit in a comfortable position. Inhale deeply as you count to 4, hold your breath for a 4 count, then exhale slowly as you count to 8. As you control your breathing, visualize calming scenery, such as a safe place from your childhood or a favorite vacation spot. You could also look for guided meditation videos on your preferred streaming service. Try meditating or doing breathing exercises when you feel your thoughts racing, dwell on the person you’re obsessed with, or get the urge to call or text them.
