Your policies will only be effective if they are explained in clear terms in an employee handbook or guide. This guide should be easily accessible to all employees and define what your policies are and what will be done in the event that they are not followed. For any monitoring policy you have, like internet or phone monitoring, you may want to also explain the thought process that led to your policies. Explaining why you are doing so may help to reduce employee mistrust caused by monitoring their activities. Set clear policies on timekeeping, billable hours (if applicable), personal phone calls, and personal internet use at work. Encourage employees to take off-the-clock breaks where appropriate. If any type of monitoring is taking place beyond standard checking-in on progress, such as if you are using phone or internet monitoring, you should inform your employees directly. Hold a meeting or send out a mass email to explain changes in monitoring policy and explain exactly when and how information will be recorded, saved, and deleted. In some states, like Connecticut and Delaware, you are legally required to inform your employees of any internet monitoring. Even if you are not required to inform your employees about monitoring, there may be backlash if you don't tell them and they find out on their own. When an employee fails to follow your policies, make sure that the stated disciplinary action for that infraction is taken. Make sure to apply policies equally to all employees. Be clear about your intentions. Document the disciplinary action and have the employee sign disciplinary plans. If you fail to properly follow these guidelines, employees will come to believe that your carefully-set policies will not really be enforced. Don't check in too often or institute overly-limiting internet policies. A nosy boss can decrease morale and make employees feel nervous. Focus on results, rather than on process. If an employee is producing good work and works well in a team, don't harp too much on the details. Give your upper-level staff more freedom. While it might be appropriate to give a temp or administrative assistant who has little investment in your business a computer that faces an open space you can monitor, upper-level staff will expect trust. Freedom to do work their own way will likely make upper-level staff more productive, not less.

If you want to make up a simple sleeve to keep a CD in that you can design by hand, all you need is a piece of paper, some glue, and some good folding. It's easy, if you've got a ruler or a CD for a guide. All you've got to do is: Fold a sheet of US letter-sized, or A4 sized paper horizontally, leaving a 1-inch (2.5 cm) overlap. Fold in both sides approximately 1.75 inches (4.5 cm) inward. Open the paper flat and re-fold the two vertical side strips, then slide the CD into the pocket of the longer side, beneath the vertical side strips. Refold over the horizontal and fold in the 1-inch (2.5 cm) overlap to complete the square. Tuck the overlap into the remaining pocket and press flat. After you create the pocket, it's a good idea to secure it to make sure the CD will stay up and won't fall apart when you give it away to someone. Good options are usually staples, glue, or even just tape. Use the same method described in the previous section, using old pictures or drawings to decorate the outside of the CD case as normal. It's usually a good idea to remove the CD from the sleeve while you're doing this, so you don't have to worry about messing it up with glue or ink. One cool idea is actually designing the paper before you fold it, making the image wrap around the outside of the case. It can make the case look unique, if you don't know where the folds are going to be in each one. One little hack for securing your DIY CD cases is to take the pages from one of those old CD books people used to carry around in their cars, pre-iPods, and carefully cut the pockets out to use for security. You can even use these and just slip CD-sized track lists into the same pocket for a quick alternative.

If you're feeling inadequate or immature, it probably stems from not finding and pursuing your true talents. Part of becoming an adult, in this sense, is reaching a degree of independence. Start by trying several jobs or activities to find what you're naturally skilled at. For example, you might volunteer at a hospital and discover that you're great at working with people or handling difficult situations. This might lead you to pursue a career that's people-oriented. Studies suggests that the people who are happiest with their lives find their natural talents and pursue them. This is more important than choosing a career based on popularity or income. Since no two people ever follow the exact same life path, your own development as a person will be unique. This can be difficult to appreciate since people live in communities and societies that often have expectations and age-related milestones. For example, your society might expect you to get an education, find a job, and start a family, in that order. Or, you might be expected to care for a family member instead of starting off on your own. It can be hard to know what to do when social expectations conflict with what you'd like to do with your life. Remember that research suggests that those who are happiest with their lives aren't necessarily those who chose their career path based upon its prestige. Find which activities, people, or things make you act with the most enthusiasm and passion. This will help you feel more independent and competent in your daily life. Avoid simply acting on an impulse. Instead, give some thought to what you're already motivated by and learn to use these abilities. For example, you may realize that you're passionate about teaching others. Use this knowledge to look for opportunities to use that enthusiasm. You may tutor classmates, teach in a school, or go to school to become an educator. Start by making a list of as many happy situations you can remember. Write down as many details regarding the events as you can remember. A list will help you figure out what it was about these situations that made you happy or energetic. You may notice that you were with the same few people. Or, maybe you found that you enjoy figuring out challenges. Since different things make different people happy, it's important that you know what you enjoy. For example, your list might have something like playing video games, playing the drums, or painting. This might lead you to realize that you're happiest when you're working with your hands. This is especially true if you're a young adult, relying on your parents to support you. Take steps to take care of yourself and your needs. This might mean getting a job to support yourself financially. Or, if you notice you're lonely, schedule time with friends to get some company. Avoid relying on others to take care of you and look after your needs. Part of growing up is recognizing that you are the one that's responsible for you. Once you're supporting yourself, it will become easier to make your own decisions and stand by them. While you're growing up, others often make all your decisions for you, be they major or minor ones. Part of becoming your own person is moving to make your own choices. You might start with smaller choices, like which classes to sign up for in school or where you want to eat. Gradually, start making larger life decisions for yourself. For example, if you're unhappy in your job, you can decide to quit or change careers. Or, if you're tired of living with your parents or a roommate, you can decide to move out on your own.
