You'll feel more accomplished and motivated for the rest of the day. Make a to-do list before you go to bed or when you wake up that morning to see what you need to get done.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you are asked to do a general analysis, you can include what you think are the most important problems and assets of the text. For academic critiques, the introduction should outline what you are being asked to critique. This can be done in the introduction or near the end, if you desire. Critiques based on works in progress should begin and end with positive assessments. The positive assessments should begin with a general description of what is positive in the text. Then, you can include praise of imagery, characters and other details. For a published work, this will give your basis for review. For a non-published work, this will tell the author how you interpreted the work. You do not need to do an analysis of all of these elements, unless you are asked to by the author or assignment. Focus on things that stuck out as you read and reread the work. Try not to refer to things that need work as weaknesses. If you are doing an academic critique, add how you interpreted the work and found it convincing and complete. If you are doing a draft writing critique, feel free to leave a few opinions or topics for thought and discussion. Consider presenting your critique to the author in person. Written critiques do not have the nuance of verbal critiques.

SUMMARY: Clarify with the author or professor what you are being asked to critique. Introduce the critique with a short description of the author and text. Explain the significance of the work. Begin with positive critiques, if you are writing the critique based on a draft. Include a short summary of the work next. Do an analysis of the larger elements of fiction, such as plot, setting, protagonist, antagonist and point of view. Add both positive and negative points under each section. Explain the overall success of the work in the conclusion.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Even if you feel comfortable with physical affection or physical demonstrations of familiarity, do not assume that the people around you feel the same way. Even in informal situations, stick to a simple bow and maintain a healthy distance. This is particularly important as people of different sex and gender identifications as it maybe be considered inappropriate and impolite to exchange physical contact in public, not because of queer identification, however, because traditionally on a binary system individual of different sex/gender identification do not engage in excessive physical contact. In more informal situations, you can make eye contact, but do not hold it for an extended period of time. Instead, allow your gaze to linger for a matter of seconds before moving to another focal point. Follow the lead of the person with whom you are associating. If they do not initiate eye contact, you should follow suit. Even in informal situations, you should offer a bow as a form of greeting. The depth of your bow will determine how much reverence or respect you are offering, so a small bow from the waist or a gentle dip of the head will suffice for an informal setting. If you do not know the people to whom you are bowing, engage in a more pronounced bow and reserve gentle nods for acquaintances or known colleagues. In an informal setting, feel free to offer up a handshake, but do not be too firm or aggressive. Instead, keep your hand loose. Handshakes are also not held as long in Japan as they might be in Europe or the United States. Rather than holding a firm handshake for ten seconds or more, grasp hands for a maximum of five seconds before letting go. Large displays of emotion are not common in Japanese culture, so don't be surprised if you do not encounter a lot of friendly smiling. If you are familiar with someone, however, don't feel you have to shy away from smiling or grinning.

SUMMARY:
Avoid direct contact. Hold only brief eye contact. Give a small bow or dip of the head. Shake hands. Offer a smile.
