Article: Review your list of activities to determine which steps are unnecessary. Delete all unnecessary activities from your list if they are not specific to this particular objective. It is important to streamline the process and avoid having so many steps that it is overwhelming or confusing to the employees. If the omitted activity is important to your overall business, consider which goal best benefits from this activity and save it to be part of a separate business process. It is helpful to create a flow chart of the entire process, listing each activity in order and linking it to the next part of the process. Start with the premiere event leading to your goal. Draw a circle around this activity. Draw a line to a box and fill that box with the first activity required to work from this premiere event to your goal. When you reach a moment which requires a decision, draw a diamond around the question which must be posed. Two lines should proceed from this diamond leading to the activity driven by this decision. Link each activity sequentially. Some may run simultaneously through different departments within your business. Culminate in the activity which reaches your goal, and draw a circle around this conclusion. Look at your completed flow chart with a critical eye to see if there are still any remaining activities which could be cut from the process to increase efficiency, quality, or decrease cost. Can the order be rearranged or can the individual processes be improved to accomplish your objective in a better way? Consider whether any part of your process can be automated. Step back and get an outside eye by sharing the process with your management team. Look at your process from the point of view of the customer and consider ways you could improve their experience and overall satisfaction. This will provide transparent accountability for each step within the process. Share the flowchart with your employees to clearly communicate the expectations for achieving your objective. Give management ownership by involving them in the process of creating the business process. Allow time and support for management to achieve the objectives assigned to them.

Article: As you'll be working with bleach to remove algae from your roof, sidewalk, or other areas of your home, safety is important. Put on thick, protective gloves, as well as a pair of safety goggles. These will keep you safe from bleach as you work. If there are any plants near where you're removing algae, you should protect them as well. Cover plants in a plastic tarp to keep them safe. You can buy algae cleaner online or at a local department store. It should be mixed with bleach and water in a cleaning pump to remove algae from your home. Mix a quart of bleach, a gallon of water, and 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) of a heavy duty algae cleaner in your cleaning pump. If you don't have a cleaning pump, you can buy one online, borrow one from a friend, or rent one at a local hardware store. For small algae spots, you can simply place the solution in a spray bottle. Spray the area where you see the algae thoroughly. You want to cover the infected area completely with your solution. Once the area is sprayed down, set a timer for 15 minutes to let the solution soak in. You do not need to scrub the solution. It will break down the algae on its own. Take a hose and use this to rinse off the solution. Make sure to rinse the solution off completely, especially if you're cleaning algae from somewhere off your roof. Leftover residue from your cleaner can cause damage. Once hose water runs clear, the algae should be gone.

The time it takes your water to cool depends on how hot or cold it was when you poured it. Room temperature water tends to mix better with ginger and lemon. Pour the lemon juice from earlier into your glass of water. Use a spoon to stir the mixture until the lemon juice is thoroughly mixed in. Pour the grated ginger into your water. Use a spoon to mix the ginger until you have an even mixture. You can now drink your ginger water. If you want to cool your beverage, you can add ice. Ginger water generally lasts for about a day after mixing. If you don't finish your water right away, store it in the fridge overnight.
