article: Think about what you want to get out of practicing -- do you want to be the next great trumpet player or do you simply want a better serve for your next tennis match? Knowing your goals helps you home in on what you need to practice the most. Be specific with your goals. Sports: Do you want to make a new team? Set a personal record? Hit more free-throws? Music: Do you want to increase your vocal range? Get a recording contract? Play all of the notes in "Flight of the Bumblebees?" Intellectual: Do you want to get straight A's next semester? Write your first novel? Get into medical school? While it feels good to practice things you are good at, the point of training is to improve on skills you don't have. Spend your time working on things you are bad at or you will never get any better at your chosen activity. Sports: Work on your opposite foot, learn a new move or technique, or try new position. Music: Develop scales and chords you don't know well, play at a different tempo then usual, or learn a song in a genre you don't normally play. Intellectual: Take a class in a different subject then normal, write essays on topics that require research, and push beyond the minimum for projects and assignments. While you can certainly practice guitar scales while watching TV, if you are not paying close attention to yourself you will pick up bad habits and learn slowly. You want to practice deliberately, not mindlessly, to make the most of your time. After you complete a task, think about how it went: Where did you make a mistake? What worked well? How can you improve next time? Sports: Don't focus on the final score in practice, focus on your technique. Are you getting stronger? Did you connect more passes than normal? Were you in the proper position to help your team? Music: Focus on playing everything perfectly, without bum or missed notes. Even if you have to slow down, focus on getting everything right and note where you make mistakes Intellectual: Always check your work, and find out where you made a mistake if you get the wrong answer. If you are trying to practice fixing a bicycles, for example, don't practice on the whole thing at once. Practicing changing tires one day, making sure you have the skill down, then work on fixing the brakes. This is the time for "drills:" specific, small actions that you can repeat over and over again like playing scales, shooting free-throws or changing flats. Sports: If you are struggling to make a lay-up in basketball, stop and practice each step separately: dribbling at speed, jumping towards the hoop without stopping, and placing the basketball. Music: Don't try to tackle difficult songs all at once. Stop and practice 2-3 seconds at a time. Once you get those few seconds down, move on to the next few seconds. Intellectual: Don't approach a test trying to learn everything at once. Do easy practice problems first, then add more complex ideas, like starting with binomials before moving on to polynomials. Do not worry about making mistakes -- this is the time for them. Exploring, experimenting, and noting the things that went wrong will expand you knowledge of your field and leads to new discoveries. When you make a mistake simply take note of it and think about how you can fix it next time. If you make the same mistake repeatedly, slow down and try to diagnose the problem. Work on fixing the mistake until you solve it to avoid learning bad habits. Sports: Watching filmed copies of the game and talking to coaches will help you quickly diagnose problems and find ways to fix them. Music: When possible, record yourself playing. As you play it back, listen in for mistakes that you might have missed before. Intellectual: Whenever you do not understand why got a problem wrong or got a bad grade, ask someone to explain it to you so you don't make the same mistake twice. To have the best performance when it matters, whether at a show, in the office, or on the field, you need to develop good habits when you practice. This means paying attention to the little things now so that you don't have to focus on them when you need to perform. Think about your posture, surroundings, and equipment when you practice. Sports: Wear the proper equipment (shoes, clothes, pads, etc.) when you practice so you are used to them when you get in a game. Music: Avoid things like slouching or laying down when you practice -- if you wouldn't do it on stage, don't do it at home. Intellectual: Playing music or watching TV while you study, write, or do research distracts you from learning effectively.

Use consistency to help the ferret remember. Redirect the ferret to encourage good behavior. Spray bitter apple on yourself to discourage biting and chewing."
article: " and make a light hissing noise. When your ferret has a bad behavior like biting, discourage it each times it happens. Start with a verbal warning, such as "No!" Add in a little hissing so the ferret gets the right idea. For a behavior like biting, set the ferret down away from you, which discourages more biting. If the ferret is digging somewhere you don't want it to, move it away from the area. Repeat the initial warning again, but this time pick the ferret up by the scruff of the neck. You can support the ferret's back end if you wish. The scruff is an extra flab of skin at the back of the neck. You can grab the flab to hold your ferret. However, never hold your ferret by its neck. Once you scruff the ferret, set it down away from you again to discourage biting, if that's the behavior you're trying to correct. Alternatively, move the ferret away from the area where it's digging, if that's the issue. Do the same verbal warning again, but this time, put the ferret away for a short time out. Ideally, you should set it in a crate away from you. Use a crate instead of the cage. You don't want to associate the cage with punishment. Make sure the crate doesn't have blankets or anything interesting in it. Let the ferret out after 5 minutes. Don't use the same crate that you need to use for transportation. If you only discourage the behavior sometimes, the ferret will get confused. Make sure to reinforce that this behavior is not appropriate every time the ferret does it. Sometimes, just redirecting the behavior to a more appropriate behavior can solve the problem. For instance, if your ferret is nipping your ties, buy cat or ferret toys that your ferret can nip and wrestle with. That way, your ferret can still enjoy this playful biting, but it won't be nipping at your fingers and toes. If your ferret tends to move things around in its cage, that's a sign it's bored. Try giving it more things to do, such as providing more toys in the cage and letting it out more often to play. Using bitter apple on your hands or toes can discourage your ferret when it's nipping. Your ferret won't like the smell, and it will usually stop biting you. You can also spray it on areas you don't want the ferret to chew or scratch. Bitter apple is completely natural, and you can find it at most pet stores.

Encrypted messages are only available on the Facebook Messenger app for iOS and Android. They are not available on the Facebook website or the Facebook mobile app. You can turn any conversation with another person into an encrypted conversation. You cannot encrypt group messages. On iOS devices, you can tap "Secret" in the upper-right corner when starting a new message to enable encryption. On Android, you'll need to enable it after starting a message. You can do this by tapping the person's name at the top of the screen (iOS) or by tapping the button in the upper-right corner (Android). You'll be prompted to enable secret conversations for your device. You can only send and receive a secret conversation from one device at a time. This means that once you make a conversation secret, you'll always need to access it from that device. To switch devices, you'll have to start a new secret conversation. Once you enable a secret conversation, the other person will have to accept it. This means they'll need to be using Messenger for iOS or Android as well. The feature may not be available to all users. After they accept, your conversation will be encrypted. You can only attach pictures and stickers to encrypted messages. GIFs, videos, audio, and calls are not supported. Tap the Timer button in the text box to select a timer for the message. This will set the message to automatically delete a certain amount of time after the recipient reads it, providing an extra layer of security. On your conversation list, secret conversations will have a padlock icon next to the recipient's profile picture. You may have multiple conversations with one person, since secret conversations are separate from standard Facebook messages. Secret conversations also have a black background instead of a blue one when opened.
