Q: Bob Dylan claims to have written "Blowin' in the Wind," a song that stands in for an entire decade and cultural moment in most historical documentaries, in five minutes. Even if he did nothing else for the rest of his life but eat lunches, drink wine, and watch monster movies, that would have been a productive day. As the French say, "Travailler moins, produire plus." Translation: the less you work, the more you make. While it might sound strange, making yourself be super-productive for short periods of time will leave you with more time to be idle. Steal time by packing super-attentive hard work into half the day, then kick back and stay on the clock for the rest of the time. Learn to focus on one thing only. Don't try to spread your talents and efforts all over the place at once. Put all of yourself into one thing and finish it as best as you can, then put it away entirely and forget about it. You'll be more productive with the time you have. Any good idler knows that the best person for the job is probably someone else. When the teacher asks for volunteers, look at your desk. When the project manager needs an enterprising young talent to spearhead the new project, keep your hands in your pocket. There's no point in letting artificial ideas about ambition and "success" get in the way of your valuable leisure time. If idleness is important to you, keep your ego in check and let other people grab the gold ring. The difference between idleness and laziness is that an idle person can take care of themselves, and a lazy person requires the assistance of others. To be truly idle, you need to be in control of your own life, able to do things, but choosing not to. In other words, if you're 32 and living in your dad's basement watching cartoons and eating cereal for three meals a day, you can't chalk that up to idleness. That's just being lazy. Provide for yourself, commit to your own happiness, and stop being a burden on others. . Meditation can do a lot to calm your stresses, center your self, and refocus your energy on your mind. Any good idler spends most of their time daydreaming in headspace anyway, so meditation should come as natural. You don't need to be a samurai or some kind of monk to meditate. It's not complicated. Find a comfortable sitting position. An upright chair is fine, or on the floor in the full lotus position is fine, there's no perfect way to meditate, despite what anyone says. Sit upright, fold your hands in your lap comfortably, and just sit. That's it. Focus on your breath, watching your thoughts go by like fish in a pond. Don't be your thoughts, watch them. Let them go. Zazen, the principle practice of zen meditation, literally means "just sitting." There's no secret, or mystical component to sitting meditation. You're just sitting. If that's not idle behavior, nothing is. John Keats, one of the most famous lyrical poets who ever lived, once said that a poet had a responsibility to sleep in every day until at least 10 am. Waking up at the crack of dawn is the behavior of an ambitious person, not an idler. There's no need to grab the day by the dawn-horns. Let yourself ease into the day gradually by sleeping in and getting up when it feels like you're ready to be up. Go to sleep when you feel like sleeping. Nap when you feel like napping. No sense in a schedule, remember?
A: Do more in less time. Let someone else do it for you. Start meditating Sleep in as often as possible.

Q: This information should be given to you. Usually you will be told to evaluate the expression "when" or "where" the variable is equal to a certain value. If you are not given the variable's value, you cannot evaluate the expression. For example, you might be asked to evaluate the expression 5x10{\displaystyle 5x-10} when x=8{\displaystyle x=8}. To do this, plug the given value into the expression wherever you see the variable. If the variable has a coefficient (a number you need to multiply its value by), make sure to put the value in parentheses. For example, to evaluate 5x10{\displaystyle 5x-10} when x=8{\displaystyle x=8}, replace the x{\displaystyle x} in the equation with 8{\displaystyle 8}: 5(8)10{\displaystyle 5(8)-10}. Remember to follow the order of operations when solving an expression. When you complete your calculations rewrite the expression as an equation. For example:5(8)10{\displaystyle 5(8)-10}=4010{\displaystyle =40-10}=30{\displaystyle =30}So, 5(8)10=30{\displaystyle 5(8)-10=30}. To do this, follow the same steps as you do for evaluating an expression with one variable, except plug in the values for both variables into the equation. These values should be given. Make sure you do not switch the values. The x{\displaystyle x} value cannot be substituted for the y{\displaystyle y} variable and vice versa. Doing so will give you an incorrect solution.
A: Identify the variable and its value. Substitute the given value for the variable. Complete the necessary calculations. Evaluate an expression with Two Variables.

Q: Press Win+D simultaneously. There are other different ways of doing this: Close all open apps. Use the button. Clicking the very bottom-right of the screen, on the taskbar. Press Alt+F4 together. Pressing the keys together while an app is displayed will cause the window to close. It's right below the "What do you want the computer do do?" line of text. Press OK or hit Enter.
A: Navigate to the desktop. Open the "Shut Down Windows" dialog box. Click the dropdown menu. Choose the Restart option. Confirm the restart.

Q: If you expect to be forgiven and aren't, you're understandably going to be really disappointed. If you expect very little and are forgiven, then you'll be a lot happier. Prepare yourself for the worst but hope for the best. If the person does not forgive you, show empathy. Say something like "That's okay, I don't know if I could forgive myself either. I just hope that time can bring us closer together again. I really value your friendship." Don't get mad at the other person for not forgiving you. Forgiveness is a privilege, not a right. Remember that you're more likely to be forgiven if you're a likable and understanding person afterward. Small transgressions may be forgiven easily, but some wounds need time to heal. Do not expect to be forgiven easily if what you did was especially hurtful. Even if your request for forgiveness is denied, continue trying. Apologizing in person is usually the best method, but if that is impossible, reach them through other means of communication. Text them, send emails, but do not give up.
A:
Expect little, but hope for the best. Be understanding. Be patient.
