Article: Now that you have a collection of steps to help you stay focused from Method 1, the repeat test is a great way to test how effectively you use them. Start by creating a spreadsheet or even simply drawing a form on a piece of paper or a whiteboard. Make one column with the hours in your day listed, and then make a wider column leaving space to the right of each hour. This test requires you to take a minute or two at the top of each hour to evaluate how you used the preceding hour. Set a timer if you need to ensure that you stop long enough to fill in the form. During your evaluation period, consider what you completed over the previous hour. This can be anything from an exercise routine to studying for a test to spending the hour in front of the television. Be honest with yourself regarding how you spent the hour. This is the step from which the test draws its name. Once you've taken stock of the hour, simply ask yourself if you'd repeat it. The question essentially seeks to make you ask yourself if you believe you spent the hour in a productive manner. You're less likely to repeat the hour if the answer is no. Keeping a written record of the day to see how many hours you would repeat and how many you wouldn't is also an effective motivational tool. Write a few words about what you did with the hour in the righthand column and as well as your repeatability evaluation. One of the drawbacks to the repeat test is that you can quickly fall into the habit of judging every hour by its overall utility. A class where the instructor doesn't cover new material, an unproductive work meeting, and other parts of your day can start feeling like frustrating time wasters in themselves. Try to remember that you don't have complete control over every hour of your day sometimes and that meeting an obligationsuch as being present for the unproductive meetingcan still count as a necessary portion of your day. Remaining flexible is important in all aspects of your life, including your fun and relaxation time.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Create a form to manage your time for the day. Stop what you're doing at the top of each hour. Consider how you spent the hour. Ask yourself if you'd repeat the hour. Summarize the hour and write down your evaluation in the righthand column. Acknowledge the parts of your day over which you have control.

Problem: Article: Lotions, makeup, and the natural oils of your skin can all shorten the life of your tattoo. They can create a barrier between the ink and your skin, so the tattoo won't actually stick or be absorbed, and it will come off when the lotion comes off. Oils break down the inks in decal tattoos (baby oil is often used to wipe the tattoo off your skin), so if oil is already present, it will begin dissolving your tattoo right away. Make sure you dry your skin before applying the tattoo. Usually the very top layer of your skin is actually dead skin cells that we shed or scrub off. If you apply the tattoo directly onto this layer of skin, it's more likely to flake off as you shed the dead cells. Exfoliation removes this layer, giving you smooth, live skin to work with. Exfoliate using a loofah or pumice stone and avoid techniques that will leave your skin oily, like salt or sugar rubs. The skin on your hands and feet are constantly stretching and moving, which can cause your tattoo to crack or fade quickly. Your hands also come in contact with lots of different substances throughout the day, from oily foods to art supplies to plain old soap and water. This constant contact may cause your tattoo to fade prematurely. The exception is with a henna tattoo, which actually works best on your hands and feet, because the skin is thicker. The more layers of skin, the more layers the ink can stain. Avoid areas that quickly become sweaty or oily naturally, like your temples, or your feet when you wear socks and shoes. Avoid areas that will rub against your clothes. Hair might get in the way of the ink, so if there's a lot of hair in the area where you plan to put your tattoo, shave first. If you are applying to an area you shave regularly, like your legs or neck, the act of shaving may remove your tattoo faster. Shaving before application may allow you to go longer without shaving once the tattoo is applied. Make sure you use a new, sharp razor if you are going to shave over your tattoo. A dull or nicked razor can cause your tattoo to flake.
Summary: Cleanse the spot you plan to tattoo. Exfoliate the area before the temporary tattoo is applied. Choose an area where the skin won't constantly be moving or flexing or coming into contact with oils and other substances. Shave the area before the temporary tattoo is applied.

As soon as they submit a payment, the money will be routed to the card or bank account linked to your account. Be aware that Amazon takes a small portion of the sale price as commission. Still, you have the potential to get more money back on your DVDs by listing them as a third party seller. On top of the regular commission, Amazon charges $1 for every sale made through an individual seller account. Once someone discovers your listing and makes a purchase, all that's left to do is pack up the item and send it to them. Bubble mailer envelopes are an economical way to ship one or two DVDs at a time. For multiple items or bulky collections, it may be easiest to use a box that's roughly the same size. Amazon has fixed shipping prices for DVDs and other media. Review the shipping rates on the Seller Central site for a better idea of how much you can expect to pay. As a third party seller, shipping to your buyers yourself allows you to avoid any additional processing time and expense.

SUMMARY: Use Amazon's fulfillment service for more convenient shipping. Await payment from the buyer before you ship items. Ship the item directly to the buyer.
