Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Use someone else as the reason. Have a reason ready. Find a way to compromise.

Answer: You don't have to shoulder the full responsibility for declining an offer. You can feel free to use someone else as part of your justification. Try saying, "Thanks, but my trainer doesn't think it's a good idea for me skip a workout in order to go to happy hour." Offer your family as an excuse. You can say, "I'd love to, but I promised my daughter that Sunday afternoons will be our special time together." Be careful not to blame others. You can just use them to explain your prior commitments. If you want to say no but you can't think of a reason that won't hurt someone's feelings, trying have an excuse ready. You don't need to lie or think of an elaborate story. It's perfectly valid to say something generic like, "I have another commitment." You can say no without completely turning down the request. By setting boundaries, you can make it clear exactly what you can do and what you are willing to do. For example, you could say, "I'm not free for dinner, but I would be up for grabbing a quick drink after work." For example, you could say, "Unfortunately, I don't have the time this year to chair that committee. Planning the meetings would be too much for me right now. However, I'm happy to continue to serve as a regular committee member." Maybe the person you're dating expects you to attend all of their work functions with them. It is okay to say, "I'm sorry, I have my own thing that night. But let's have dinner this weekend!" If your partner doesn't respect your boundaries, you'll need to have a talk with them about your needs.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Obscure your dog's view of strangers at the door. Secure your yard with a tall fence. Distract your dog from barking by shaking a set of keys.

Answer: It's important that you manage your dog's barking by creating an environment that will limit his sight of others. Keep your curtains or blinds closed during the day when your dog is home. You can also set up a baby gate so your dog cannot get into rooms that have large bay windows where he can see outside. For a more permanent option, place a removable plastic film or spray a glass coating on the windows so its harder for your dog to see people outside. Doing this will limit your dog's ability to see people so he is less motivated to defend his territory and bark. If your dog enjoys running around outside in the yard, place a tall fence around the yard to your dog cannot see strangers across the street or in the neighborhood. This will give him less of a need to bark and allow him to play without being distracted by strangers. The fence will also obscure your dog's view of the street when he is inside, so he won't be able to spot strangers and bark at them. The sound should startle your dog and cause him to stop barking. Then, call him away from the door or the window and command him to "sit". Give him a treat and then tell him to "stay". If he remains seated and quiet, give him treats for the next several minutes until the stranger is gone. If he starts barking again after he is seated, shake the set of keys again and repeat the sequence. Avoid encouraging your dog to bark at people at the door by saying "Who's there?" to your dog and then walking to the door. This will cause your dog to be on guard and will likely lead to alert barking.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Tuck fabric softener sheets into your shoes. Wear your shoes with dryer sheets. Remove the dryer sheets when the odor is gone.

Answer:
You may be more familiar with softener sheets by the name of dryer sheets, but in either case, the odor fighting properties of this product are perfect for de-stinking shoes. You can simply push a sheet into each shoe, or you can slip one underneath each insole. Used dryer sheets can also be used to combat shoe odor. This is a great way to recycle, and will leave your shoes smelling laundry-fresh. Dryer sheets are relatively thin and light, and the heat of your foot will help release its odor fighting ingredients. However, sometimes dryer sheets can bunch up in the toes of your shoe and become uncomfortable. If you find this happens to you, leaving dryer sheets in your shoes while you're out and about might not be the best option. Most sheets will last about a week before the odor fighting potential is lost. Once your dryer sheets stop smelling fresh, you can throw it out and replace it with a fresh one. If your shoes have thin insoles or you have sensitive feet, or if you find that dryer sheets uncomfortably wad up in your shoes, you may only want to use dryer sheets when your shoes are off. A few hours with dryer sheets inserted will usually be enough to chase away the stink. Severe cases might benefit from a night spent with dryer sheets inserted in each shoe.
