Even though keno is a fast paced game, winning can be slow and takes patience. You don't want to sit down in a lounge and blow all of your money in two or three rounds. Most lounges will let you place bets as low as $1, so you should do this at first. Get into the groove of the game, see if the lounge is paying out well, and then increase your bets. Keno is not generally a game in which you win large sums, but if you bet smart you may be able to win small amounts over a number of rounds which will build up your overall winnings. It is possible to get lucky and win a lot at once, just not likely. If you play often, this should include an overall budget for a month, for each day that you'll play, and for bets on each round. If you are just playing for one sitting, a budget for that day is still a smart idea.You don't want to play with more money than you actually have. And you don't want to lose more than you started with. Keno is gambling, and gambling typically is a losing proposition in terms of odds. Some people win, but lots of people lose first. Be smart about how much money you can afford to play with. This is important for each individual time you sit down to play. You don't want to bet all of your money in the first couple rounds, so it is often better to play conservatively over a longer period of time. This is a complicated suggestion, and not all Keno players agree on this, but if you play less numbers, you'll win a higher percentage of money if you do in fact win. If you play four numbers and win three, it is better than winning eight numbers out of ten. Some Keno games will require you to pick a certain amount of numbers, which is why it's important to know house rules. Overall, it is good to pick less numbers. This is basically a balancing act, as you will probably never win if you only pick one number, but it's hard to get a large payout if you pick 15 numbers.

summary: Bet small at first. Set a playing budget. Play fewer numbers each round.

Use a flexible measuring tape to get the width of the chair's base as well as the chair's height. Write down your measurements on a piece of paper or on a note on your phone so you don't forget! A lot of slipcovers are sold as one-size-fits-all, but there might be gradations of size that will help you pick one that'll be a little more suited to your chair. There are lots of fabrics, patterns, and colors that you can choose from. Consider the other design elements that are already in the room where the chair goes and try to match that style for a cohesive look. Price out how much shipping will be (if you're buying online), and always ask about return policies. If you can't find an option in the stores or online that will fit your chair, look into having a slipcover made. Keep in mind that you'll be paying for the material, labor, and shipping, so it'll probably be a bit more expensive than a ready-to-buy option. Depending on the company you use and the complexity of your order, you might pay anywhere from $200 to $2000 for a custom slipcover. Your slipcover may have come into contact with some chemicals while it was being manufactured, so it's always a good idea to give it a wash before putting it on your chair. Follow the care instructions and make sure the cover is dry before you use it. Generally, slipcovers can be washed at home on the gentle cycle with cool water. Line-dry the item, or put it in the dryer on a low-heat setting. Keep your slipcovers in good condition by regularly cleaning them. If you notice they are dirty at any time between cleanings, go ahead and pop them in the washerit won't hurt anything! Spot treat stains as they appear to keep your slipcover looking like new.

summary: Measure your chair to determine what size cover you need to buy. Shop online and in physical stores to compare options and pricing. Order a custom-made slipcover if you have uniquely-shaped chairs. Wash your slipcover before using it to rid it of any irritants. Remove and wash the slipcover every 3 to 6 months.

Many people find that having meaning to their work (whatever it is) centers them. Being aimless is not comfortable for most people. Find something that drives you and concentrate on it. Once you find what this is, you can change your habits. Anything or anyone that draws you away from what gives you meaning or balance should be limited or cut out entirely. It's not a black and white world of thought preceding behavior or vice versa. However, regardless of your school of thought, you have some say in how you feel and interpret things. If positive thinking is hard for you, try to manipulate your behavior. You don't necessarily have to think something genuinely, but act like you do. You may find that your mind follows suit. Try this -- start walking with your head down. How do you feel? Now throw it up. How about now? If positive behaviors are hard for you, drill in on your thoughts. Stop the negative ones. And you can! You are the only person who can stop your negative thoughts. Use that power and replace them with positive (or at least neutral!) ones. A lot of people have undue amounts of stress in their lives from situations that would resolve themselves if they were just direct about it. Other people (sources of stress) for you may not realize that they are making you pull your hair out. Talk to them. Your happiness is at stake here. Whatever problem it is, if it's stressing you out, it's worth talking about. Your emotions are valid, whatever they are. It's easy for people-pleasers to get stressed out; obviously, because pleasing everyone is impossible to do. So start saying no to avoid over-committing. You'll have more free time and more time to concentrate on you. If this is an issue for you, practice saying no at least once a week. Don't miss out on the things you enjoy! Just cut down on the activities that make you sacrifice part of your already hectic schedule. We should always push ourselves to do our best, but we also need to realize when the job we've done is good enough. Everyone else judges, so you don't have to be another source of criticism when it comes to you. Set time limits on yourself if you find yourself being a perfectionist. This is where striking a balance comes into play. If you manage your time wisely, you'll have more time to relax.
summary: Find a purpose and balance. Practice positive thinking. Be direct. Be willing to say no. Stop striving for perfection.
