In most cases, the key that you press to access the BIOS will be either one of the "function" keys (e.g., F8), the Del key, or the Esc key. You can check your specific computer model's manual or online documentation to find the BIOS key to use. If your computer's "function" keys are inverted, you'll need to hold down Fn while pressing the BIOS function key. Each computer's BIOS will vary slightly, so check your computer model's documentation for specific instructions on setting BIOS boot order; however, in most cases, you'll do something like this: Select the Boot or Advanced tab at the top of the screen. Find the "Boot Order" section. Find your USB flash drive's name, then select it using the arrow keys. Press the + key to move the USB flash drive up to the top of the menu. If this doesn't work, check the key legend on the right side or bottom of the screen for explicit key instructions. You'll usually do this by pressing a key that's listed in the legend on either the right side of the screen or the bottom of the screen. When the first Clonezilla page loads, press Enter to proceed with the default settings. Use the arrow keys to scroll down to the language you want to use, then press Enter to select the language and move on to the next option. Press Enter to do so. It's the top option on the following menu. Pressing Enter will take you to the next page. This option is in the middle of the menu. Doing so ensures that Clonezilla will take care of the more complicated settings. This is the top option on this page. In most cases, you'll move the cursor to highlight the top hard drive; this is usually the sda hard drive (the "a" refers to the first hard drive). You can double-check that you're selecting the correct drive by looking at how many gigabytes of free space the drive has listed next to its name. A hard drive labelled "sdb" would be the second hard drive, "sdc" would refer to the third, and so on. This will usually be the only option on the page, but check the hard drive's storage number (e.g., "500 gb") near the left side of its name to be sure. This ensures that Clonezilla will turn off your computer when it finishes cloning your hard drive, allowing you to remove your flash drive before restarting your computer. If you don't remove your flash drive before restarting your computer, your computer will just reboot from the Clonezilla installation again. Type y and press Enter when warned that the external hard drive will be overwritten, then type y and press Enter again when asked if you want to clone the boot loader. This can take several hours. When Clonezilla finishes, it will turn off your computer. This will prevent your computer from restarting from one of the USB drives; at this point, you can turn back on your computer and use it like usual.

Article: If you are comfortable and secure in your basic payments and necessities, but find it difficult to budget or save money to pay off your debts with the "debt avalanche" method, the "debt snowball" method may be right for you. This method focuses on you paying off your smallest debts first to simply reduce the number of different debts you owe. It should be noted that this is not the fastest or most efficient way to reduce your debt load. Organize your paperwork and determine how much you owe on each debt. Create a schedule of which debts you will pay off first by placing the debt with the smallest amount owed first and going up in amount owed from there. Be sure to note minimum payments for each debt and pay those each month before directing any money towards paying off your first debt. You don't want to incur more debt by not paying these minimums. Use any additional money you have each month to begin paying off the first debt. You may consider creating a budget for yourself to save money or perhaps taking on a part-time job. However you come up with the money, save as much as you can and put it all towards that first debt. When you've paid it off, celebrate! You've earned it. After you've paid off the first debt, move on to the next debt on your list. This one will take longer to pay off than the first, but keep yourself motivated to continue paying off debts by remembering the load that paying the first debt took off your shoulders. Your number of debts, and total debt overall, will decrease faster and faster as you continue to pay them off. Eventually, you will be completely debt-free!

Determine if this method is right for you. Organize your debts by amount owed. Pay off the first debt. Move on to the second debt. Continue paying off debts until you are debt-free.
Article: It'll be easier for you to stay focused and motivated if you start your tasks with a clear head, so take 10 to 20 minutes at the beginning of each day to write a to-do list, review your calendar, and respond to a few emails. Giving yourself a little mental breathing space before jumping into things will help make you a better worker. Make it a goal to get to the office 10 to 20 minutes early each day for one week and see how it changes your attitude throughout the day. You'll feel better about your work and about yourself if you commit to doing the best job you can do in any situation. Instead of trying to rush through a task or project simply to get it done, ask yourself, "Is this something I can be proud of?" Proofread your work, do tasks that you notice need to be done, even if they aren't technically your responsibility, answer questions that might come up down the road, and think outside of your job description. Think about ways you can make your work even more dynamic, and try to implement those ideas when you can. For example, if your job is to write a report about sales from the previous month, you could also include information about holidays, employees calling off work, power outages, and other factors that may have affected the results. Taking initiative and being responsible doesn't mean you have all the answers. If you're unsure of how to do something, don't be afraid to ask questions. Sometimes people do need a little reinforcement to help them stay on track, and that's perfectly fine. If you need this, arrange with a supervisor or a coworker to check in at a specific time every week for a "mini-deadline" to help you get your work done in time. For example, if you're working on a big presentation that is due in a month, arrange to send your supervisor a copy of what you've worked on every Friday at noon. That way, you know you have several deadlines to work toward and need to show something new every week rather than procrastinating until the last day to get things done.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Take time to prepare for your day rather than winging it. Focus on the quality of your work, even if no one will ever see it. Take the initiative to go above and beyond the minimum expectations. Set up accountability if you need help doing your best work.
