Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Embrace the purpose behind writing a dissertation. Hone your time management skills. Work on your stress management abilities. Create a space where you can work diligently and without distraction. Search for funding so you can treat the process like a job.

Answer: Writing a dissertation is an enormous task, so it's important to understand the purpose it is meant to serve. By understanding the larger goals of the exercise, you can more carefully craft your paper to demonstrate that you have achieved these goals. A dissertation proves your ability to produce original research with original, substantial ideas and analysis. As a professional, you'll be expected to contribute to your field by producing new ideas that address existing problems or issues. Your dissertation serves as your first major step. A dissertation also demonstrates your mastery of research design. It proves that you can perform research in a way that is acceptable for your discipline. Writing such a complex document while still taking classes, working as a teaching or lab assistant, or teaching undergraduate classes is challenging at best. To fit in the time necessary for all the work you need to do, along with essential time for sleep and relaxation, you must learn to make the most of the time you have. Create a detailed schedule that includes both your larger research and writing goals and your smaller ones. Try to stick to the schedule as much as possible as you work. Set aside time to relax when it is not feasible to do work anyway. For example, listen to audiobooks or podcasts while you drive to school. Catch up on your favorite websites while you eat lunch and dinner. Exercise while waiting for search or test results. Sleep on a regular schedule. This will be incredibly challenging at times, but sleeping on a regular schedule will make you feel more energized and focused. Writing a dissertation is a very stressful process, so good stress management will be critical for you during this time. If you can't cope well with stress, you will have a very difficult time writing a dissertation. Learn to manage your stress and release it in a healthy and effective manner before starting on a dissertation, and incorporate stress management strategies into your planning process. Ease stress by exercising, listening to music, or watching funny videos. Look for activities like these that are easily fit into complex schedules. Try meditation, deep breathing exercises, mindfulness techniques, or other recommended stress-relief activities as well. If stress is getting the better of you, visit your school's counseling center (if available) or talk to a licensed therapist about helpful strategies. You will need to be able to focus while writing your dissertation. This means having a space that's comfortable, quiet, and free of distractions. It also must provide easy access to everything that you need for writing: books, a computer, internet connection, power sources, etc. Some people work best in a closed off room with a desk, while others prefer working in the library or a cafe. Seek out advice from colleagues and friends, but also figure out which type of setup works best for you. Having a single dedicated workspace makes it easier to keep everything where you need it. However, some people work better if they move around among different workspaces. Again, this is up to your personal preference. You'll probably need to support yourself financially while you work, and working an outside job may be barred or at least frowned upon by your program. You'll also need funds in order to pursue researchfor instance, for traveling to collect or view materials. Writing a dissertation isn't just doing a really big and long projectit truly is a job in itself. By securing funding, you'll be better able to view and treat it that way. Ask your department and advisor for guidance for the best sources of funding in your program and discipline. Generally, seek grants rather than loans. Fellowships from your university are also extremely helpful.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Fit the new doorbell into place. Secure the doorbell to the wall. Reconnect the wires. Snap the housing into place.

Answer: Mount the unit on the wall, guiding the wires through the slots in the face. Make sure the edges and corners are straight and that all screw holes are aligned. If the new doorbell differs in size from the old one, adjust it until you're satisfied with the placement. Attaching a different model may require you to drill new holes. Use a level to line up the edges of the new unit more precisely. Re-insert and tighten the screws by hand. If you drilled a fresh set of holes, double check that they're the right size to support the new unit. Use plastic anchors to keep your walls from being damaged by the screw threads. Replace the screws in the upper corners first to hold the unit in place while you finish tightening the bottom corners. Remember to run the wires to their appropriate terminals. Match them up with their designated colors or labels before screwing them down. Otherwise, the doorbell won't work correctly. Crossing up the wires could even put the doorbell in danger of shorting out. Fit the outer cover over the new unit and press it until it clicks. If the unit features a faceplate with separate screws, make sure they're each properly fastened. That's all there is to it!

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Choose your online format.

Answer: The online format or program you choose to build your calendar in depends on your purpose. If you're trying to develop a calendar for your workplace, you might have no choice but to use employer-authorized software like MS Outlook or a similar program. Other common online formats include MS Excel, Apple Calendar, or Google Calendar. The best online formats will allow access via both a desktop and a mobile device. It can only be accessed when you are online, and printing them out is not typically possible.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Ask your friends to meet up. Give them a chance to share their feelings. Listen and stay calm. Try to step into their shoes. Validate how they feel.

Answer:
Choose a place where you can talk uninterrupted. To keep tempers and voices down, it may be a good idea to meet in a public place such as a coffee shop or restaurant. Let them know the reason you're asking them to meet. For instance, you might say, "We really need to talk about what happened the other day. Can we get together tomorrow after class?" It's unfair to try to jump straight into the resolution phase if your friends haven't said their piece. Grant them the opportunity to vent their frustrations and explain what you did to make them so mad. Use this as a learning experience to help you sidestep similar issues in the future. It can be tough to listen to someone spell out your wrongdoing, even when it's true. However, the key is to not get defensive or angry here. Interrupting, excusing, or defending will only make matters worse. It's important to remember that when someone says you've hurt them, you don't get to say that you didn't. So, hear them out. Aim for empathy by trying to separate the current situation from how you view yourself as a person. Take a moment to step out of your own point-of-view and into your friend's. Chances are, what they are saying may have some truth to it. As you listen to your friends say all that they are upset about, try to step into their shoes. How would you feel if the same thing had been done to you? Once they've stated their grievances, try to validate their feelings. This helps mend fences by showing that they are not crazy for feeling the way they do. Let them know that their reaction makes sense to you and that they are right to be angry. You might say something like, "You know, I can see why you're angry", or "I can see that I really hurt your feelings."
