Heat and tumbling in the dryer will contribute to fading. Buy a rack and hang your clothes to dry inside. Lay wool items out flat on a towel to dry them. Your clothes will usually smell fresh and retain more color than they would with constant drying cycles. Overdrying will beat up the clothes and fade them prematurely. Direct sunlight will start to bleach the fabric almost immediately. The closer you are to the equator, the stronger this effect will be.

summary: Hang dry all your colored garments, if you have the space to do so. Line dry in out of direct sunlight during the warmer months. Set the dryer to the lowest amount of time possible. Change into different clothing if you are in bright sunlight all day.

To help increase your grip strength, try incorporating exercises like hand extensions into your regular exercise routine. This exercise is not really a grip exercise, but it will strengthen the muscles that help to give you a strong grip. You can either use a thick rubber band (or multiple rubber bands) or get a professional tool that helps you perform this exercise. To use the rubber bands, pull the rubber band down over your hand so that it's resting near the base of your fingers. In a slow and controlled way, spread your fingers and thumbs out away from your palm. They should be pushing against the rubber band. Hold your fingers and thumbs as long as you can against the pressure of the rubber band. Repeat a few times on each hand. Another great exercise to try is by squeezing a hand gripper. You will need to get a gripper, which is a handheld grip exerciser that you squeeze with 1 hand at a time. Squeezing a gripper will help strengthen your grip by working the muscles in your hand. Hold on to a gripper in each hand or work 1 hand at a time. Wrap your entire hand around the handles. Make sure the grippers have a plastic coating to help make this exercise comfortable. Squeeze the handles so they are close together (this would typically open the gripper so it could be placed around a barbell). Hold this squeeze for as long as you can. Repeat a few reps with each hand. Another great exercise to strengthen the muscles in your palms are plate pinches. Grab a few conventional weighted plates to get started on this exercise. Place 1 or more 10 pound plates together with the smoother side facing out. Pinch or squeeze them together with your hands (thumb on 1 side and 4 fingers on the other side) and hold them as long as you can in the air. Keep the plates closer to the floor in case you drop 1. Also, do not hold them over your feet. Try to work up to being able to hold four 10 pound plates in each hand for at least 1 minute. Repeat two to three times if you can. If you have barbells that have a wider circumference than the standard barbells, these are a great tool to use to help improve your grip strength as well. Improving your grip strength with a fat or wide barbell is easy and simple to do. Grab 1 of these barbells with both hands and squeeze as tight as you can. Your fingers and thumbs should not be able to touch when your fist is clasped around the bar. To make this exercise more difficult, add plates to either side of the bar. Your goal should be to hold this bar for at least 1 minute and repeat for 1 or 2 more sets.

summary: Do hand extensions. Use a hand gripper. Incorporate plate pinches. Squeeze wide barbells.

It's fine to have the first meeting between you and your mentor or mentee be all about getting to know each other and this may even help to forge a positive relationship. Choose to meet at a designated time and place. Then, spend about 30-60 minutes in casual conversation. Ask getting-to-know you questions of each other to establish a rapport. For example, ask your mentor or mentee where they're from, where they went to school, what they like to do in their spare time, and if they have any pets. When you first begin working together, plan a conversation to establish the basic goals you'll be working towards. These can be broad goals that you narrow down later to pinpoint the mentee's more specific professional objectives. Some things the mentor and mentee might list as goals for their relationship include: Increasing the speed at which the mentee learns their role and achieves competency Fostering leadership development Reducing stress and preventing burnout Improving the mentee's motivation and job satisfaction Increasing the chances that the mentee will stay with the company long-term Once you've established some goals, figure out what the relationship will involve by specifying what you and your mentor or mentee will responsible for doing. State these responsibilities clearly so there is no mistaking each person's role. For example, if you are the mentee, you might write something like, "As mentee, I am responsible for seeking out opportunities and experiences to enhance my learning, communicating regularly with my mentor, and reviewing my progress regularly." If you are the mentor, you might write something like, "As mentor, I agree to provide support and encouragement to my mentee, provide feedback on my mentee's progress, and meet with them regularly." Try to meet with your mentor or mentee 3-4 times over the course of 6 months, or more often if desired. Meeting more often may help to promote good progress, especially in the first 1-2 years of your relationship. Other things to consider when planning your meetings include: Where you will meet The level of formality of your meetings What you'll cover in your meetings When you will meet again
summary: Take time to get to know each other before you begin working together. Discuss desired outcomes for the relationship. Identify each person's responsibilities. Specify how often you and your mentor or mentee will meet.
