Try to write and publish the report pretty quickly after the event. Make sure you schedule it on your calendar to make sure that happens. Some people suggest issuing an event report within 30 days, but others say you should do it within a few days. Whatever the deadline is, make sure that you meet it. Perhaps you are writing the event report for an agency that has been commissioned by a specific client. Pay attention to all requests. The bottom line is that your audience will expect both a thorough and a timely report. So take the time to be thorough and get it right, but don't wait so long it seems dated. Make sure that your event report contains proper grammar and avoid spelling, punctuation, and other proofing errors. Make sure that your answers contain depth. A good rule of thumb is the writing technique "show, don't tell." That means it's a good idea to provide some specific examples to back up more general points that are made in the report. Don't forget your audience, and make sure that your writing sounds formal and professional. An event report is not a casual document; it's an essential document to determine whether the event was worth it, so it needs to be authoritative.

One-sentence summary -- Be timely with the report. Proofread your event report.

Make sure there are no other annotations. For best results, buy or ask for a copy of the work that you can mark on directly. For example, decide to underline the thesis statement, circle imagery and make notes on characters and plot in the margins. If it is helpful to you, a professor or writer, create a legend of your annotations on the first page of the work. An initial reading is essential to mark down first impressions and plot developments. Annotation helps you to refer to this initial reading after you begin to write your critique. Reading for critiques should be focused reading, so don't do too much at once. In addition to annotation, if you are critiquing a draft of a story or essay, questions can help elucidate if the author has additional plot work or if they are simply creating tension. During the second reading, expand your annotation for grammar, spelling and character or plot development errors. If imagery, character or an argument is well made, highlight it or note it in the columns.

One-sentence summary -- Obtain a clean copy of the work from a bookstore or the writer. Develop a system of annotation. Read through the prose an initial time as you annotate. Divide a book into smaller sections. Ask questions in the margins. Reread the work again. Include positive comments.

Making the big life changes necessary to start a new life takes work, dedication, and patience. It can be stressful and intimidating. Make sure that you check in with yourself frequently. How are you feeling? What behaviors are you enacting? Are you worried about anything? Keeping a reflective journal can help you understand your emotions and determine whether there are areas in which you need more support or development. It's not uncommon for huge changes to trigger feelings of depression. If you frequently feel sad, empty, worthless, or hopeless, have experienced a loss of pleasure in things you used to enjoy, have seen changes in your weight or sleep habits, frequently feel anxious or guilty, or are considering harming yourself, seek help. Call your doctor or a mental health professional. If you are experiencing suicidal thoughts or plans, call emergency services or the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK. Learning to adapt to roadblocks and challenges will be necessary as you live your new life. Starting a new career doesn't mean you'll never feel unappreciated or uninspired again. Moving to a new city doesn't mean you'll never miss home. When you encounter challenges, recognize them as such and do what you need to adapt. You may encounter roadblocks on your journey to your new life. For example, perhaps you wanted to join the Green Berets to fulfill your core values of service and honor, but found out you're too old to enlist. You could view this as a failure and the destruction of your dreams, or you could go back to the drawing board and determine whether there are other things you can do that will also allow you to express those core values. Even if you don't think anything is "wrong," it could be helpful to see a counselor or therapist when you're considering starting a new life. You'll be making some major life changes, and stress pretty much always accompanies decisions like this. A therapist will give you a safe "sounding board" to explore your hopes and fears as you make these changes. Your counselor/therapist can also help you learn helpful ways of thinking and reacting to challenges. Many people believe that people with only "everyday" issues wouldn't benefit from therapy, or that it's only for people with "serious" problems. The truth is, going to a therapist can be a lot like seeing your dentist for a cleaning: You're dealing with little build-ups of minor problems before they become disastrous. Some people believe that seeing a therapist is a sign of weakness or that you're "broken," but this couldn't be further from the truth. Seeing a therapist is a sign that you care about yourself enough to get help when it's useful, and that's a good thing.

Depending on where the wool rug is placed in your home, cleaning might range from once a year to once every several years. A professional cleaning is recommended, but as shown above, it can be a job you do yourself. To see how dirty your rug is, lift it by a corner and kick the back of it. If dirt comes out, it is dirty and in need of a cleaning. If nothing happens, a cleaning isn't necessary. Vacuuming is how you keep your rug clean in between the yearly washings. It is essential to keeping dust and dirt from everyday foot traffic at bay. For the first year of a wool rug's life, vacuum at least 2-3 times a week. For areas that have high traffic, vacuum once a week. For older rugs and areas that have less traffic, vacuum once every couple of months. Do not vacuum with vacuums that have a brush or beater bar. Try to limit the type of vacuum to suction-only options. By doing this, you regulate how often areas of the rug get stepped on. Wool rugs should be rotated at a 180-degree angle periodically to counteract foot traffic patterns on the rug. Use shading to reduce sunlight in sunny rooms. Apply UV filters to windows to prevent wool fibers from weakening and the wool from drying out.
