INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You may want to write down assignments on the day they were assigned or on the day they are due. This will depend on your personal style and preference. If you write things down on the day they were assigned, this will enable you to look at each day to see what you should be working on (e.g., If reading chapter 5 was assigned on Monday, you would write it down under Monday's space and do the assignment that day). If you write things down on the day they are due, you will need to look ahead to see what you should be working on (e.g., If reading chapter 5 needs to be completed Wednesday, you would write it down under Wednesday's space but look ahead on Monday or Tuesday in order to complete the assignment by Wednesday). Write new information in your planner every day; any assignments, events, meetings, and get togethers you plan should be recorded daily. You should also check your planner each morning and night to ensure you aren't forgetting to do anything. You can put a sticky note on your mirror or another place you look daily, or set a daily reminder in your phone, to help you remember to check your planner if you think you might forget. Some teachers like to write out assignments weeks ahead of time. If your teacher does this, you can transfer these assignments to your planner. Once you develop the habit of checking your planner, you may no longer need reminders, such as sticky notes on the mirror. Your teacher may mention that a group project will be due on the last day of class; though that may seem like a long way off, write it down immediately. This goes for homework, tests, other assignments, and events as well. Write down the corresponding textbook pages and any other information the teacher tells you to include. If you tend to procrastinate, consider putting reminders into your planner. For example, you can write "Start working on Shakespeare essay" the week before it is due. If you have a major project or test coming up you can schedule time to work on it in your planner. This will keep you from rushing to complete a big assignment the night before it is due. For example, you could write: Monday: start research Wednesday: complete outline Friday: write rough draft

SUMMARY: Decide which method you will use. Make your planner a part of your daily routine. Fill in things as soon as you find out about them. Create your own deadlines.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Avoid overly familiar compliments, like compliments about their sexual characteristics. Compliment things they obviously take pride in, such as a very nice coat, a well-kept car, or a hand-made accessory. Compliment their actions or something you witness, such as after you see them be very nice to a cashier. This removes most of the creep factor. Example: "Thank you for being so kind with that man. It's hard to be patient in that situation. I'm really impressed with how you handled it." Don't compliment expecting anything in return. Just because you're nice to someone doesn't mean they owe you anything. They don't even owe it to you to be flattered by the compliment. Compliment them with your actions. In romance, doing something nice for someone can often be more effective than saying something nice to someone. Sometimes, just telling them how attractive you find them is enough. Especially if they're already dating you. Example: "I love it when you smile. It just lights up the whole room." Keep it appropriate. Awkward work compliments can bring on all sorts of trouble. Use the grandma test: if you wouldn't say it to your grandmother, don't say it to your coworker. Shoot for compliments on their work. This can also help avoid awkwardness. Compliment them to or in front of your boss. This shows not only how much you mean it but that you think they are worthy of even higher commendation. Example: "Hey, Mr. Banks, did you see how Sally handled that last customer? You would have been so proud. Some of the best customer service I've ever seen."

SUMMARY: Compliment a stranger. Compliment a romantic interest. Compliment a coworker.

SUMMARY:
Buy a pegboard organizer kit. Lay the hangers out on a large table. Install from the table to the pegboard to ensure the proper layout. Add additional screws and washers if your pegboard moves extensively when you install the hangers.
