Use a journal to keep track of patterns that may affect your mood, energy, health, and sleep. Journaling can also help you process your emotions and gain insight into why certain things make you feel the way you do. There are people who teach journaling, books about journaling, and even websites to keep online journals if you require more structure. Try to get into the habit of writing every day, even if it's just for a few minutes. Some days you may feel like writing more, while on other days you may have less energy or inspiration. Writing does get easier as you write more frequently, so stick with it to see how it can help. Make it easy to write at a moment's notice by carrying a journal or notepad and pen with you all the time. Alternately, consider using a simple note-taking application on a phone, tablet computer or other device that you often have with you. Just let the words flow and don't worry if they don't make much sense. Don't worry about spelling, grammar, or style; and don't worry about what other people might think. You can keep your journal private if you want to. You can also share some things with family, friends or a therapist if you think it might be helpful. You can also start a public tell-all blog. It is up to you and your comfort level how you use your journal.

For adult's and children's parties, there may be a theme or dress code for the party that you should mention to your guests. Most auxiliary and sensitive information can be included in the last line of the invitation before the RSVP. Dress codes might include: Black-tie if the party is happening at a fine dining restaurant or upscale club A theme if the party is a costume party. Casual if the party will be taking place at someone's home. There are several types of parties that require guests to come prepared with certain things, and the invitation should indicate this. Examples include: Pool parties, to which guests should bring swimming attire and towels. Sleep-overs, to which guests may need to bring pillows and blankets. Excursion parties, in which case guests may need tents, sleeping bags, food, and other gears. Hobby parties, where guests may need old clothes, paint brushes, or other craft supplies. Some parties lend themselves to plus ones, whereas others simply don't. For the types of parties where you don't want guests bringing extras (such as friends, siblings, or significant others), be sure to note this on the invitation. You can say things like: "No siblings, please!" "Please note there is no room for plus ones" "You're invited to an exclusive and intimate party," which can be worked into the what portion of the invitation. This is especially important if guests are expected to bring something to the party, such as with a pot luck. Otherwise, you can mention if you plan to serve a meal, snacks, or just drinks, and that way guests will know if they should come hungry, peckish, or full. You can also use this time to ask guests to inform you about any food allergies or dietary requirements that they have. Ask them to let you know when they RSVP. For kid's birthdays, you may want other parents to stay, or you may prefer that they drop their children off and leave. In case you don't want parents to stay, you can simply say "Please pick your child up at 5:00 p.m.," or whatever time the party will end. If you'd rather parents stick around, you can say: "Parents are welcome to stay" "Separate adult snacks and refreshments to be served" This is an extremely important element to add to a birthday invitation if the guest of honor doesn't know the party is happening. The last thing you want is for all your hard work and planning to be ruined because you forgot to tell guests that it was a surprise party! You can explain this by saying: "Karen sure will be surprised!" "Please note this is a surprise party" "Please arrive on time: we don't want to ruin the surprise!"

If the puzzle is already in cube form or if you've been working on solving it, you'll need to start over. Unwind the pieces so it makes 1 line that looks like a series of stairs. Arrange the line so the pieces at the end of the left-hand side point up and the pieces at the end of the right-hand side point down. The column on the farthest right will be pointing downward. Look for the third diagonal column to the left of the right-hand edge, which should be pointing up and to the left and have 3 cubes. Fold the 3 cubes of that row 180 toward you underneath the puzzle so they are now parallel with and even to the row next to them. Take the 2-cube column next to the 2 parallel columns and rotate it back 90. Then rotate the column on the end 90 upward so the 3 cubes are vertical. Keeping your hand on the last pieces you moved, rotate both columns inward toward you 90. Then, push the 3-cube column down and away from you 90 so it is parallel with the floor. Find the bottom cube of the second 3-cube column from the left. Fold it in toward you 90. Then, find the lowest cube on the column to the left of the column you just manipulated and rotate it 180 clockwise. Find the top cube in the 2-cube column you just rotated. Rotate it 90 to the right so the 3-column row is stacked on the row beneath it. The long piece on the right will look like stairs. Fold the last cube on the right-hand side in the 3-cube column you just rotated upwards 180 away from you so it lies flat on the row beneath it. Then, let go of the puzzle with your left hand, using your right hand to hold the pieces in the "stair" line that haven't yet been folded. This will rotate the puzzle so the extra cubes are on top. Grasp the 2 columns of cubes that are sticking up in the line next to the partially completed cube and fold them down 90 toward you. Then rotate the column on the right side of the cube back away from you 180. Flip the column to the right of the cube back toward you 180. Then fold the column that is the second to the end on the right-hand side down 90. To finish the puzzle, rotate the last remaining column 180.
