The best way to "train" yourself to have willpower is to be willing to sacrifice your desire for instant gratification for the sake of a long-term reward. Eventually, your reward can be "living well" or "experiencing financial stability," but for learning to exercise your willpower, it's best to have a concrete reward. For example, if you are on a weight loss journey, trying to control impulsive eating habits, your end reward may be a shopping spree for an entire new wardrobe in your new size. If you are controlling your impulse spending, you can have something costly that you normally wouldn't be able to save for as your final reward. For example, you may buy a new big-screen television or go on a relaxing trip to a tropical island with a friend. This is the essence of cultivating your willpower. When you feel tempted to give in to an impulse, realize that what you really want is that short-lived feeling of instant gratification. If your impulsive behavior is contrary to your goals, you will likely feel guilty after indulging in the instant gratification. To resist an impulse for instant gratification, try the following: Acknowledge what you want to do Tell yourself you are just looking for instant gratification Remind yourself of your short-term or long-term goals Ask yourself whether giving into your impulse is worth getting off-track for or jeopardizing your final goal. For example, if you are working to control food impulses and you are standing next to a cookie tray at a party: Admit that you want a cookie (or five) Acknowledge that the cookie may satisfy your craving or impulse for right now Remind yourself that you are working towards a goal of losing 40 pounds and a reward of getting to buy a new wardrobe Ask yourself whether the temporary satisfaction of eating a cookie is worth getting off-track with your progress and potentially not getting your new wardrobe in the end. A motivation or reward system will not change your willpower in the long run, but it can help set you on the road to success. Because a big end reward can take a long time to get to, it can be effective to give yourself smaller "guidepost" rewards for progress. For example, if you have one week of making good choices about food, you can indulge in a favorite treat at the end of the week. Alternatively, you can reward yourself with something non-food related, such as a pedicure or massage. If you are controlling impulsive spending, you might give yourself a reward for saving. For example, you may decide that for every $500 you save, you get to splurge and spend $50 on anything you want.

Summary: Keep the "big picture" in mind. Forgo instant gratification. Give yourself mini-rewards for progress.

The quickest way to transfer favorites from an old computer to a new one in AOL is to add the favorites to your personal folder. Older versions of AOL store your Favorites online, so you don't need to log into AOL on the old computer first. This is only necessary for AOL 10. Select "Manage Favorites". Your personal folder has your screen name. Select "Manage Favorites". If you are using AOL 10, this is all you need to do., If you're using an older version, read on. AOL will scan for Favorites stored online. Click "OK" once it finishes importing.

Summary: Log into AOL on your old computer. Click the "Favorites" button. Drag your Favorites into your personal folder. Log into AOL on your new computer. Click the "Favorites" button. Open your personal folder and drag the Favorites into the main Favorites folder. Click the "Favorites" button and select "Import AOL Favorites". Click "Continue". Open your personal directory in the Favorites menu. Open the folder marked with the date you imported your Favorites (today). Drag all of the Favorites in the folder into the main Favorites folder.

There are many coop cleaners available. Only use cleaners that are nontoxic and free of ingredients like bleach and creosote. Avoid aerosol sprays as well. Try to find a cleaner that leaves behind a pleasant odor when used. You could choose a cleaner from your local farm supply store specifically designed to clean chicken coops, or you could use a household cleaner. If you mix bleach and ammonia (a primary component of chicken feces), you can create toxic fumes, and irritate the lungs and eyes. There are many varieties of homemade coop cleaner, all of which contain vinegar and water as main ingredients. For example, you could easily create a pleasant-smelling lavender-mint cleaning agent by mixing half a handful of fresh mint, half a handful of fresh lavender leaves and flowers, and half of a vertically-sliced vanilla bean in a standard-size mason jar of white vinegar. Fill the jar with vinegar and stop when it is 1/4 inch from the top. Let the jar sit for three to four weeks, shaking three times every other day. When the vinegar smell has mostly been replaced with a minty-lavender scent, strain the leaves and vanilla bean out and pour the mix into a spray bottle. An even more basic recipe calls for an equal mix of water and white vinegar.

Summary: Use a coop cleaner. Make your own cleaning solution.

If your expression is not already set up like a fraction, rewrite it this way. This makes it easier to follow all the necessary steps when dividing by a square root. Remember that a fraction bar is also a division bar. For example, if you are calculating 14436{\displaystyle {\sqrt {144}}\div {\sqrt {36}}}, rewrite the problem like this: 14436{\displaystyle {
rac {\sqrt {144}}{\sqrt {36}}}}. If your problem has a square root in the numerator and denominator, you can place both radicands under one radical sign. (A radicand is a number under a radical, or square root, sign.) This will simplify the simplifying process. For example, 14436{\displaystyle {
rac {\sqrt {144}}{\sqrt {36}}}} can be rewritten as 14436{\displaystyle {\sqrt {
rac {144}{36}}}}. Divide the numbers as you would any whole number. Make sure to place their quotient under a new radical sign. For example, 14436=4{\displaystyle {
rac {144}{36}}=4}, so 14436=4{\displaystyle {\sqrt {
rac {144}{36}}}={\sqrt {4}}}. , if necessary. If the radicand is a perfect square, or if one of its factors is a perfect square, you need to simplify the expression. A perfect square is the product of a whole number multiplied by itself. For example, 25 is a perfect square, since 55=25{\displaystyle 5 imes 5=25}. For example, 4 is a perfect square, since 22=4{\displaystyle 2 imes 2=4}. Thus:4{\displaystyle {\sqrt {4}}}=22{\displaystyle ={\sqrt {2 imes 2}}}=2{\displaystyle =2}So, 14436=4=2{\displaystyle {
rac {\sqrt {144}}{\sqrt {36}}}={\sqrt {4}}=2}.
Summary: Set up a fraction. Use one radical sign. Divide the radicands. Simplify
