Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Expect to separate the kittens from their mother when they are around 12 weeks old. Be sure the kitten has learned to use the litter pan before removing her from her mother. Introduce the new owner's scent to the kitten. Introduce the kitten's smell to a cat already living in the new home.

Answer: While most kittens are weaned by 8-10 weeks, most experts recommend leaving kittens with their littermates until 12-13 weeks, so they can be properly socialized. Socialization is the process whereby kittens explore their surroundings and accept what they find as normal. A well-socialized kitten is bold, confident and friendly. Separating a kitten from its mother too early, on the other hand, may lead to poor learning skills and aggressive behavior. A kitten will start learning at about 3 weeks of age and continues to soak up experiences until 12-14 weeks when her ability to adapt to the unfamiliar tails off. The implication of this is that a kitten will benefit greatly from learning from its mother until 12 weeks of age. However, if re-homing is delayed too long after that, the kitten is much more likely to be fearful and hide from the new owner. Kittens learn to use the litter pan at different rates, but most will have learned by 12 weeks. Be sure the kitten has learned this crucial skill from her mother before she is adopted out. Kittens learn a lot about their environment by scent. They recognize their mother, littermates, and nest by smell. Using this knowledge can ease a kitten's transition from her mother to a new home. Do this by: Having the new owner provide an old T-shirt that smells like the person. Because kittens are so smell-oriented, placing a piece of the new owner's clothing in the kitten's bed or favorite space will get her used to the person's scent (this is called a 'scent introduction'). When the kitten moves to the home, she will already be familiar with one of the scents so she will feel safer. Likewise, if the home already has a cat, give him a piece of bedding with the kitten's smell on it. Doing this will give the established cat a scent 'handshake' prior to setting eyes on the new kitten. This will start to diffuse potential tension between the two animals.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Set clear boundaries. Have responses in mind. Use word associations to steer the conversation. Use an agreement to segue to a new topic. Stand your ground. Recognize and avoid negative triggers. Ask for their help.

Answer: Before you interact with the proud person, reach out and set the scope of the conversation. Be clear and specific about what you want to talk about then stick to it. For example, "I want to talk to you about the performance reviews and our raise policy." Be forceful about maintaining the boundaries. It's okay to say things like, "I know you're excited about your work at City Hall, but that's not what we agreed to discuss. Let's keep focused on the community garden project I'm running." If you know what you're going to talk about, and you think you can predict what the proud person will say, plan how you'll respond. It won't be so easy to frustrate you if you're expecting to be frustrated. If confrontation makes you nervous, try writing a script of how you want the conversation to go and practice your part. If they say, "Did you see the memo I sent out? I really set the record straight with that one!" You can respond with, "I did see it; I actually wanted to talk about some of the language you used in it." If you feel stuck on a single topic, try to nudge the conversation away from it in small increments. Don't be too abrupt; when you make a change to the conversation, let the conversation develop a little before giving it another nudge. For instance, if the proud person wants to talk about how the committee should have voted in their favor you can change the subject to a discussion of the limitations of democracy. Sometimes the best way to deal with a proud person is to have them think you are agreeing with them. Use the 'yes, but' method to introduce something you'd like to talk about. For example: "I agree that we can be more productive, but it would help if the databases were less clunky." "Yes, I think that could work. But the consequences would be devastating." "Yes, I will finish the account, but my first priority is the presentation I'm giving this afternoon." Bending to the will of the proud person will just lower your standing with them and make them less receptive to you in the future. If they're not responsive to your position, change the subject. For example, "We're just going back and forth on this. It'll be more productive to revisit this after we've talked about the accounts." Remember to be firm and use phrases like, "This will help" or "I know" Try to avoid phrases like, "I think" or "I believe" Proud people will become stubborn when confronted with facts or truths that don't cohere with their world view. Pay attention to any words, phrases, or topics which trigger the proud person's stubbornness. Make a note of this and avoid bringing them up in your future conversations. Proud people like to take control and maintain their autonomy. You can flatter a proud person by asking for their opinion. Engage their voice as a sign of respect. Everyone responds well to that! Asking for a proud person's help can also be a way of helping them work through their pride.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Find the best medium to record your schedule. Budget your day in 30 minute segments. Work your necessary activities into the schedule first. Fit in "flexible" time. Refer to your schedule often. Adjust your schedule as needed.

Answer:
Having your schedule written down is one of the best ways to ensure that you'll keep on track. If you have easy access to your schedule, you will get in the habit of checking it regularly. Figure out which method works best for you. Then you can access your schedule when you need a reminder about what's next on the list. Some people prefer writing it down in a daily planner. Others like to keep track on a laptop or tablet. There are lots of useful scheduling apps for mobile phones. If you use a computer or phone to record your schedule, you can set reminders to prompt you when important tasks are coming up. As you start to figure out your daily schedule, break up your day into half-hour segments. These chunks of time are manageable amounts in which to accomplish certain tasks. Then you don't need to plan your schedule down to the minute. You will have obligations throughout the day that need to be accomplished at specific times. For example, you need to drop off your children at school at 8:00 a.m. You need to pick them up at 3:00 p.m. Fit these types of activities into your schedule first. After you have your obligations worked into your schedule, look for pockets of time that do not require specific activities. These are considered "flex" time. Now look at your long-term goals and start to fit activities into your schedule that will help you accomplish your goals. The flex time can also be used for unforeseen obligations or other activities that come up last-minute. As you start to adjust to using a schedule, you should consult the schedule frequently. This will help remind you of your planned activities. This will also keep you on track so that you don't spend too much time doing one activity or task. As you start working through your schedule every day, you can assess how it's working for you. Make adjustments based on how much time you're spending on different tasks. Be sure to include your long-term goals so that you are sure to achieve them.
