Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Immerse yourself in the subject. Get to know new and different people. Go someplace new. Get a pen and write. Keep a schedule. Perform structured brainstorming sessions. Learn what to forget.

Answer: To get your brain on track to come up with an idea, you need to surround it with a lot of relevant information. What this means will depend upon what type of idea you are trying to come up with. If you are trying to come up with a theory, do a lot of relevant research. You should do studies that problematize your existing ideas. If you have gotten yourself to the point where you have so much information that you think that you know less about the subject than you did before, your brain will struggle to reconcile the facts with your theories even when you feel that you have turned it off. If you are working on fiction, read a lot of other authors who are trying to do similar things. Read books that familiarize you with the setting of the place you are writing about. Read literary theory to give you some perspective on how to write. Read philosophy to get ideas you might want to tackle in your fiction. If you are an artist, spend some time reviewing the works of other artists in similar fields. Interacting with people outside of your normal social group will expose you to new ideas and perspectives. This is pivotal to developing "psychological distance," which is one of the most important prerequisites to creativity. Psychological distance is when you begin to look at things from a perspective other than that which you are accustomed to. Once you begin putting yourself in the shoes of a different person, it is easier to approach your problems in a way you haven't thought of before. Traveling is also a good way to create "psychological distance." Exposing yourself to new sights and sounds will cause you to think of things from a new perspective. Sometimes you can save yourself a plane ticket and use your imagination to turn the familiar into the unfamiliar. Even imagining yourself in a new place can make you approach things from a new, more creative perspective. Similarly, people have been shown to be more creative when they imagine the problem they are dealing with to be happening in the distant future. Alternatively, practice mindfulness to begin looking at your own world in a new way. Focus on something specific in your environment and try to experience it in its entirety. Notice things that would pass you by in your ever day life. One useful example of mindfulness is to pay close attention to crowded social environment. Go on a walk in an urban area or wait around in a crowded park. Look at how people interact with one another. Pay attention to their idiosyncrasies and imagine what is happening in their head. This will put you in another person's shoes. Allow your ideas to flow freely. You can focus on the topic that you are working on, but allow yourself to venture elsewhere if that is necessary to keep things flowing. Doing journal entries every day can be a good way to get you started writing. Even if the focus is on personal matters, you might wander into your creative work from a new perspective. When no ideas are forthcoming, it can be easy to get discouraged and procrastinate. However, you typically won't experience an epiphany until you've really struggled to work through your problems. Make self-imposed deadlines and force yourself to live up to them. If what you produce by the deadline isn't spectacular, at least you know what hasn't worked and how to improve in the future. The demands of a rigorous, structured brainstorming session can force you to create more than you would otherwise. Set a time limit and goals that you aren't sure that you can meet. If you fail, you will still produce more than you would have if you hadn't challenged yourself. For example, give yourself 30 minutes to come up with 30 ideas. Just write as quickly as possible. Give yourself 30 minutes to write two pages of material. Alternatively, give yourself an hour to sketch out a drawing. It's unlikely that you'll come out with a great final product, but this sort of challenge can force you to come up with new ideas. The better part of the creative process will always be excluding the things that don't matter. Knowing what doesn't matter at the beginning can be difficult, but you should start writing down some ideas, even if they don't seem well founded at first. Begin structuring the important information in your head and weed out what doesn't seem to fit.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Eat foods with garlic and onion. Drink coffee. Have peanut butter for lunch. Stay hydrated. Chew gum throughout the day.

Answer: The most effective way to conceal the scent of alcohol is to eat equally stinky foods. Try eating foods with garlic and onion for breakfast. Some ideas include: Breakfast omelette Savory breakfast scones Savory crepes Another stinky consumable item that is effective at covering the smell of alcohol is coffee. Have a cup of coffee in the morning, and continue drinking coffee throughout the day. If you are sensitive to caffeine, switch to decaf. Be aware that coffee breath can be offensive too. Peanut butter is also effective at concealing alcohol breath. Consider packing a peanut buttery treat in your lunch for the day. Some ideas include: Ants on a log Peanut butter and jelly sandwich Noodles with peanut sauce Drinking plenty of water is the best way to flush out your system and eradicate (rather than just cover) the scent of alcohol. Aim to drink half of your body weight in ounces. For example, if you weigh 150 pounds (68kg), try to drink 75 fluid ounces (2.2l). Good news: water is also the best cure for a hangover. As your body metabolizes alcohol, the scent can reappear on your breath. Help to keep it at bay by regularly chewing gum or using breath mints throughout your day.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Grind using your Dremel. Start sharpening or sanding with your Dremel. Move from coarser bits to softer bits. Polish metal or plastics.

Answer:
For grinding, attach grinding stones which can be fixed to the mandrel/shaft. Slide the grinding stone into the front of the tool where it is fully inserted and tighten. Turn your Dremel on and grind on a low setting so you don't overheat the material. Gently hold the grinding stone against the material until it wears down. You can use grinding stones, grinding wheels, chain saw sharpening stones, abrasive wheels and abrasive points to grind a material. Carbide bits tend to work best on metal, porcelain, or ceramic. Use cylindrical or triangular tips for round grinds. To grind a notch into something or grind an inside corner, use a flat disc shape. Or, use cylindrical or triangular tips for round grinds. Select a sandpaper bit and secure it in your Dremel. Sandpaper bits are available in fine through course grits, and all grades should fit on the same mandrel. Tighten the screw at the end of the sandpaper bit. Turn on your Dremel and set it between 2 and 10. Choose lower settings if you're sanding or polishing plastics or woods. Select a higher setting if you're sanding metal. While holding the material secure, run the bit across the material so that the sandpaper bit completely comes into contact with your material and sharpens or sands it. Make sure that the sanding bits are in good shape so they don't scuff or mark your material. They should fit in the drill snugly and shouldn't be worn. Have several sanding bits on hand so you can quickly replace them. To sand, you can use sanding bands, sanding discs, flap wheels, shaping wheels and finishing and detail abrasive brushes. If you've got a big job, begin with coarser bits before moving to softer bits. This can help you sand out larger scratches quickly and then you can have more control over working through the material. If you skip the coarse bit and begin with a softer bit, it will take you longer and you'll wear out the softer bit. Check the bit every minute or two to see if the bit is worn or torn. Remember to turn off and unplug the Dremel while you do this. The Dremel is an excellent tool for fine-detail polishing or polishing in tight spots. Rub a polishing compound over the surface of your object and fit your Dremel with a felt polishing tip or wheel. Start your drill at a low speed (2) and run it against the polishing compound. You should work the wheel in circles until the material is polished. Avoid using a much higher speed (don't go over 4). You can polish without using a compound, but you'll get shinier results with it. For cleaning and polishing jobs, use rubber polishing points, cloth or felt polishing wheels, and polishing brushes. Be sure to get the right kind of coarse polishing brush for the job. These bits are good for taking old paint off of metal furniture or cleaning up tools and grills.
