Summarize the following:
The most important tools are a pen and pencil while you bring up ideas. However, other tools can help you collect information along the way and chart progress. You will need to quantify your success on a weekly or monthly basis. For example, if you want to gain 500 more Facebook followers, you should report on the number of total and new followers each month, in addition to the posts you have used. Facebook itself has several valuable reporting tools. At the very least, you should have an Excel spreadsheet, but you may also want to sign up for a Google Analytics account, a CRM management software or a financial tracker like Mint.com.

summary: Get organized. Decide how you will keep track of your process. Get high tech.

Summarize the following:
Use space in your closet or make another spot in your room for keeping your stuff out of the way. Buy some storage bins and slide them under your bed. This keeps all of your stuff organized. Shelves are a must to display stuff like sports trophies, pictures, books, etc. Buy some shelves and have them put up in a place that you like, such as over your bed or near your desk. They can be donated, go into storage or be disposed of. Unless they mean a great deal of value to you, having such things hanging around can cause you to keep living in the past; now is the time to move on. If you have anything you wouldn't use again or isn't special to you, donate it to a charity shop. Play some slow music from your iPod on your stereo, and pour a cool glass of lemonade. Grab a book or magazine and sit back and relax on your bed.

summary: Make sure you have some storage space. Make good use of shelves. Put away all of the childish things in your room. Relax.

Summarize the following:
Even though this measurement is taken across the front of your body, making it easier for you to handle the tape measure yourself, your shoulders and arms should still hang as naturally as possible during this process. As a result, asking someone else to take the measurement for you is advised. Note that if you are only asked for "shoulder width" and not specifically for "front shoulder width," you should use your measurement for "back shoulder width." Back shoulder width is the standard measurement, while front shoulder width is much less common. Your front shoulder width will usually be close to or the same as your back shoulder width, but there can be slight differences based on age and weight. Certain conditions, like scoliosis and osteoporosis, can yield more dramatic differences. For a front shoulder width measurement, look for a tailored shirt that has a wide neckline or consider wearing a shirt with straps. This measurement deals with the supporting points of your shoulders rather than their truth width. As such, a shirt that illustrates how far these supporting points are is better than a snug shirt with a standard or high neckline. Ask your helper to lay the end of a tape measure flat against one shoulder point. Your helper should then extend the tape measure across the front of your body, following the natural curve of your shoulders, until it reaches the opposite shoulder point. The tape measure will not be horizontal or parallel to the floor. Instead, it must bend subtly along with the natural bend of your shoulders. This is your front shoulder width measurement. Write it down and save it for future reference. Front shoulder width can technically be used for both men's and women's attire, but it is most commonly used when designing or tailoring women's attire. This measurement is typically used when designing or tailoring necklines. Your front shoulder width is the maximum width a neckline can be without falling off your shoulder. This measurement also makes it easier to space straps on bodices in a way that will prevent them from slipping off your shoulders.
summary: Ask for help. Wear the right sort of shirt. Measure across the front of your body. Write down the measurement.
