Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Wipe off the leather flats with a dry cloth. Use a damp cloth to wipe once again. Wipe off the shoes with baking soda. Use a damp cloth to remove the baking soda. Invest in a leather conditioner.

Answer: Begin by using a clean, dry cloth to wipe off the leather shoes. Go over every part of the shoe. You don't have to scrubjust try to get off any loose dirt or debris. You can use the same cloth or start with a new, clean cloth. Dampen the cloth with a small amount of water. Wipe off the shoes again with the damp cloth. Rinse off the cloth you've just used. Sprinkle some baking soda directly on the cloth. Firmly wipe off the shoes until they began to appear clean. Rinse off the cloth one more time. Wipe down the shoes again to remove any remaining baking soda off of the shoes. Allow the shoes to air dry for a few hours. You can find a leather conditioner online, at shoe stores, or at many supermarkets. A leather conditioner will preserve the leather and keep it looking shiny for longer. Put a little bit of conditioner on your finger, and rub it all over the leather on the outside of your shoe. Condition your shoes every 4 to 6 weeks. Use a dry cloth to remove any excess polish.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Write a paragraph. Identify the primary shapes. Look for a slant. Check the alignment. Look at the spacing. Pay attention to the size. Analyze your line quality. Determine your flaws. Look to other handwriting styles for inspiration.

Answer: Choose a topicit can be whatever you want, try and find something you enjoy to write so you will not get boredand write at least five sentences about it. If you're not feeling too creative, simply copy a passage out of a book or newspaper. The goal is to get an idea of what your handwriting looks like on average. The more you write, the more accurate your analysis will be. Is your handwriting full of loops and curves? Is it primarily straight lines and stiff in appearance? Do you have hard corners, or do your letters blend together? The angle at which you write your letters can make or break your handwriting. Is your handwriting perpendicular to the lines under it? Does it fall to the left or to the right significantly? A slight slant is typically not a problem, but too much of one can make reading difficult. Do your words tend to be written on an upwards or downwards angle? Do they overlap with the lines on the page? Is every word individually angled, or do your entire lines of text head in a similar direction away from the line? The distance between your words and letters helps determine the quality of your handwriting. There should be enough space between each word to fit the letter "O." Using more or less space than this can be an indicator of poor handwriting. Pay attention also to the closeness of each individual letter. Cramped writing or letters that are spaced far apart are also difficult to read. Turns out size does matter, at least with handwriting. Does your writing fill up the entire space between two lines? Can you write all your words in less than half the space between two lines? Taking up a large amount of space or using too little are both things to avoid. Look at the actual lines that comprise your writing. Are they drawn with heavy pressure, or are they faint and hard to read? Are your lines straight, or are they kind of squiggly and uneven? Considering all of the aforementioned, what is it that your handwriting needs in order to improve? Possible changes can be made to the shape of letters, your spacing, alignment, writing size, line quality, and the slant of words. Changing one or more of these will improve your overall handwriting legibility. So now you know your letters are too large and your shapes too round, now what? Go onto font websites and look for handwriting samples that you like. Make a copy of each style of handwriting that is feasible for you to mimic. Don't be afraid to look for samples that might vary significantly from your own handwriting, as you can pick and choose certain aspects of different handwritings rather than adopting an entirely new one.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Look to reduce your fixed expenses. Look to reduce your variable expenses. Calculate how much money you have leftover after making reductions.

Answer: Fixed expenses may be fixed, but that does not mean you can't replace them with lower fixed expenses. Take a look at each type of fixed expense and examine if there any ways to reduce them. For example, your cell phone bill may be fixed every month, but is it possible to drop down to a plan with lower data to save money? Similarly, your rent may also be fixed, but if your rent takes up more than half of your income, you should examine perhaps downgrading from a two bedroom to a one bedroom apartment if possible, or relocating to a more affordable area. If you have car insurance, be sure to contact your broker each year to see if there are better deals available, or alternatively, continually shop around for better deals. If you have high levels of expensive credit card debt, consider a debt consolidation loan to reduce your fixed interest expense each month. This will allow you to pay off your credit card debt with a lower interest rate consolidation loan. This is where most savings can be found. Take a close look at your expenses each month and see where your spending that is not towards fixed expenses goes. Look at small expenses that add up over time like coffee purchases, eating out, grocery bills, gasoline, or leisure purchases. When looking to reduce these expenses, think about what you want, versus what you need. Look to cut out as many wants as possible. For example, you may need to have lunch every day at work, but purchasing lunch at the cafeteria is a want. You could select the more affordable option of making a lunch each day. The key is to look at variable expense areas that take up a large portion of your budget. Is most of your extra spending on gasoline, food, entertainment, or impulse purchases? You could target reductions in those areas by using more public transport, packing more lunches for work, opting for more affordable entertainment choices, or leaving your credit card at home to reduce impulse spending, for example. Do an online search to find innovative ways to reduce your variable expenses in areas you struggle with. If you have identified a few areas to reduce your spending, subtract that amount from your expenses. You can then subtract the new expense amount from your monthly income to determine how much you have left over. Assume monthly income is $2,000, and your expenses were $1,600. After looking for expense reductions, you may have managed to find $200 in savings each month, bringing your monthly expenses down to $1,400. You now have $600 left over each month.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Silence and put away all electronic devices. Make yourself physically comfortable. Wait at least two seconds before responding in a conversation. Practice presence exercises at home.

Answer:
If you are in a social situation, put away your phone, tablet, PC, and any other distracting electronic device. You cannot connect with others if you are constantly emerged in your devices. At a social engagement, give you full and undivided attention to the situation and people in front of you. You can connect with other people at a later time. If you are an IPhone user, you can turn on the "Do Not Disturb function to prevent calls and text messages coming through until the function is turned off. This will prevent the temptation to check your phone. It is difficult to be present in a situation if you keep thinking about how excited you are to get out of your tight jeans or itchy dress. Wear clothing that is appropriate and comfortable, so you can focus on the present situation. When you are engaged in a conversation, do not think about how you will respond while someone is speaking. Instead, focus on what they are saying, and when it is your turn to respond, take two seconds before you're answering. For example, if someone is telling a story about hiking with their dog, do not think of a story of you hiking with your own doggie as they are speaking. Fully engage in their story, then share your own. Empathize with the person's story and share the same feelings with them. Say, for example, that you are as impressed as her, because this reminds you a similar event. To become present in situations, try being present with yourself. Try meditating by going to a quiet place, making yourself comfortable and focusing on deep breathing. Focus on how your body feels as you inhale and exhale. Repeat a single word or mantra or listen to repetitive music that calms you and clears your mind. Spend at least five minutes each day doing nothing and being at peace with that.
