If you don't maintain your morning routine, it's not a morning routine. Instead, it's just a bunch of things you sometimes do in the morning. Don't hit the snooze button and don't allow anyone else in your family to either. Accept no excuses for non-adherence to the morning routine. If anyone wants to alter the morning routine, encourage the individual to speak up. Discuss the change(s) with the whole family and decide together if the change is acceptable. As a parent, you should feel comfortable rejecting any unacceptable proposals for the morning routine (for instance, if your kids want to skip brushing their teeth in the morning). Choose the clothing you want to wear tomorrow the night before your morning routine begins. Encourage your kids and partner to do the same. Pack your briefcase with all the necessary documents and gadgets. Encourage your kids to pack their book bags and homework so they aren't trying to locate them on the way out the door. That will save you and your family time in your morning routine to do other things like have a relaxing breakfast together. Additionally, you should pack your kids' lunches the night before. If you or your partner take lunch at work, you should also pack your lunches for the next day the night before. Find a convenient place where everyone in the family can place their essentials. For you and your partner, you might want to place your keys, wallets, and glasses there. Kids should place their backpacks, lunch pails, and show & tell objects there. A small table beside the front door is the ideal place for organizing all your family's essentials. There's no need to provide overly-abundant detail in your morning routine. Instead of specifying what each person in the family should eat for breakfast each day, limit your family's morning routine to simple tasks like "Wake up," "Brush your teeth," and "Eat breakfast." Intervening steps like "Walk downstairs" or "Set the table" are best left to custom, rather than made explicit within the family's morning routine. Implementation of the morning routine should be open to adjustment and negotiation in certain respects. For instance, if your child wants to use mint toothpaste as opposed to cinnamon, allow them to do so. Likewise, if they want to eat bananas instead of strawberries, permit the exchange. Weekends and holidays should be free of morning routines. Sleep in and enjoy a couple days of relaxation around the house. Encourage your whole family to do the same. This prevents burnout from the constant pressure of conforming to the morning routine. If you are frantically rushing about and yelling at your kids and partner to conform to their morning routine, they will only become stressed and less likely to be able to stick to the morning routine. Instead of yelling, crouch down and look into your child's eyes. Explain to them, "I need your help. What can we do together to make sure everyone does what they need to in the morning?" Try breathing in and out slowly a few times to calm down. Breathe in for three seconds through your nose, then exhale for five seconds through your mouth. Repeat three to five times until you are relaxed. Never yell at, strike, or curse at your kids for failing to conform to the family's morning routine. If your partner is stressed and running behind with their morning routine, the best thing to do is encourage them to relax. Say to your partner, "I know you're running a bit behind on your morning routine. Just relax a bit by doing some breathing exercises with me." Try to problem solve when everyone is home in the afternoon or evening rather than doing so in the middle of the morning routine.

Summary: Stick to it. Plan ahead. Organize your stuff. Keep it simple. Provide some flexibility within the routine. Don't apply the routine to every day. Don't get frazzled.

This includes the amount of money you will be investing or saving, the length of the term and the proposed interest rates. You may have several sets of variables if your intention is to compare alternatives. You will need to prepare a calculation for each alternative in order to complete your comparison. You will be entering the data from Step 1 into specific cells on the spreadsheet and then setting up formulas. Once the formulas are calculated you can easily evaluate many different alternatives. Popular spreadsheet programs include Microsoft Excel and iWork Numbers. You can also find free spreadsheet applications online such as Google Docs or Zoho Sheet. You can expand the cell by clicking on the right line of the column number, A, B, or C, etc. (Arrows will then show that you can manipulate.) These labels are for your reference only. Convert the percent interest to a decimal by dividing it by 100. Leave cell B4 (Daily Interest) blank for now. The interest rate is usually shown as an annual figure; it will need to be divided by 365 in order to reach the daily interest rate. For example, if your principal to invest is $10,000, and your savings account is offering .5 percent interest, you will enter "10000" in cell B1 and "=.005/365" in cell B2. The number of periods determines how long your investment will remain in the account untouched, except for the compounding interest that is added. You can use a sample term of one year, which will be entered in cell B3 as "365." Functions are special formulas offered by the spreadsheet designers to make your calculations easier. Do this by clicking first on cell B4 to select it and then by clicking inside the formula bar. Type "=IPMT(B2,1,1,-B1)" in the formula bar. Press the Enter key. The daily interest earned on this account, for the first month, is $.1370 per day.

Summary: Gather the information needed to calculate interest. Launch a computer spreadsheet application to help you calculate interest. Assign labels in column A, rows 1-4, for the Principal, Interest Rate, Periods and Daily Interest. Enter the details for your specific transaction in column B, rows 1-3, to coincide with the labels. Create a function in cell B4 to calculate the annual interest as a daily amount.

If you are blogging about fashion, travel or food, then you can choose interesting or attractive themes related to this, which helps to attract readers. Try to make a simple, stylish and professional design. The very basics of this is knowing which keywords to focus on. These are what people are searching for in the search engines, and how they might find your blog. Some of these keywords get a lot more searches than others get, so it's in your best interest to eventually choose the ones that do get searched for often. Keep in mind that these are often more competitive than ones that are searched for less -- but you might get lucky. Choose a big one that will take longer to reach, as well as three to four additional terms you're going to try to rank for. These should all be similar! Then, you're going to include these keywords in each blog post you make in various combinations. Always focus your posts on one term, and include the others only if they make sense. As you focus on these similar keywords the search engines will start to rank you more highly because your blog is tightly focused and relevant to what you're targeting. A lot of ranking decisions are based on how many backlinks you have coming into your website. You can get these links by writing articles to submit to directories, writing guest blog posts on other high traffic blogs, using social networking sites, using social bookmarking sites, and buying links (be very careful with this tactic).

Summary: Design your blog. Learn about search engine optimization (SEO). Focus your efforts on these keywords for now. Do what you can to get relevant links that point to your homepage and your individual posts.
