Properly zeroed calipers are essential to getting an accurate measurement, so make sure to do this! Calipers have 2 large jaws that you can open and close around the outside of an object. These jaws are located at the bottom of the ruler part of the calipers. Open the calipers so they are wider than the outside of the object, and then close the calipers around the part of the object you want to measure. For example, to measure the length of a nail, open the calipers wider than the length of the nail and close them so that 1 jaw is touching the head of the screw and the other is against the pointed end of the screw. Find the inner measurement jaws on top of the calipers (above the part that looks like a ruler). These are smaller than the outer jaws. Close the inner jaws of the calipers and put them inside of the object. Open the calipers so the inner jaws are pressed against the inside of the object. For example, to measure the inner diameter of a pipe, open the calipers until they are pressed against the inside of the pipe to get your measurement. Locate the extension rod on the side (or end of the ruler section) of the calipers. Position the calipers against the top edge of the object or hole, and then extend the bar down into the hole or object until it touches the bottom. For example, to measure the depth of a hole, place the caliper jaws against the rim of the hole and extend the bar down into the hole all the way to the bottom. Look at the screen and record the number. Keep in mind that the readout will include a zero or whole number followed by a decimal and 3 digits behind it. For example, the readout may say 0.365in (0.93cm) or 4.987in (12.67cm). Record the entire number as your measurement. Some digital calipers have a button to change the measurement from imperial to metric or vice versa. Check to see if this is a feature of your calipers and press the button if needed.

SUMMARY: Zero out the calipers before you get started. Clamp the jaws around the outside of the object for an external measurement. Open the jaws inside of an object to find the inner diameter. Push the extension rod into the object for a depth measurement. Look at the digital reading.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: There are a variety of ways to do this. Try keeping a log or journal for several days. Or make a chart or graph illustrating how your time is spent. Be sure to keep track of everything that's taking up your time: sleep, work, eating, chores, school, etc. Be honest with yourself here. This will show you how best to manage your time, especially if you find yourself upset at spending so much time in one area of your life. Now that you know where your time is going, how would you like it to be spent? Mainly, what do you want to change about your current routine? If you noticed any wasted time, start by making a goal to address it. For example, if you found yourself spending several hours responding to pointless emails, taking extra breaks, or waiting for things, make it a goal to rescue that wasted time. This doesn't have to be incredibly detailed. Just rank your goals in the order in which you'd like to complete them. Try to put at least 30 percent of your weekly time towards accomplishing a goal. Re-evaluate your goals periodically. You may find after accomplishing some tasks that your priorities have shifted. Don't be afraid to alter your goals or plans. Give yourself a manageable range of time and make a list of the goals you must accomplish. Keep a separate list of things you'd like to get done. Then, look at your week and assign tasks for each day that get you closer to achieving your goals. Remember to include time for family, relaxation, or personal time. While you don't need to detail what you'll be doing, you should be sure to block out the time. Don't allow your schedule to fill up with things that don't get you closer to your goals or that don't make you happy. If something seems like a waste of your time, try to cut it short or get out of it. Likewise, don't feel like you have to accomplish everything yourself or it won't be done correctly. You'll most likely need to learn how to trust and let go in order to accomplish your tasks.
Summary: Determine how you spend your time. Write down goals. Prioritize your goals. Plan your time. Realize that your time is valuable.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Again, there are countless permutations that might inform the way your love box looks. How long have you two been together? How old are you? Where, when and how did you meet? There can be no step-by-step process for defining what makes your connection unique; take some time to figure out what you love most about your boyfriend, and find an artistic way of expressing that. Put your talents to best use. If you're a great writer, writing a poem or a fictionalized interpretation of how you met might be a great way to decorate the inside lid. If you're a great artist, a small painting might do just the trick. If you don't think your homemade items are enough, it might be extra sweet to go out and buy a gift. Keep it small but meaningful. Boyfriends are sometimes difficult to buy worthwhile presents for, but offering a gift in a new love box will make it feel that much more special. For instance, if your boyfriend's really excited for a show, pick up a pair of concert tickets and hide them at the bottom of the box. Write a poem. Paint a picture. Write a cute letter by hand. Draw a portrait of him. The possibilities are endless. Strut your stuff, show off your creative talents. Whatever you're best at, you should capitalize on when filling up your love box. Your boyfriend is sure to be impressed! A love box is meant as a way for both people in the relationship to reflect. One of the best way to do this is to enclose things that will spark memories. If you have any photos you took together early on in the relationship, add them into the box. If you have any souvenirs (like concert tickets) of things you've seen together, put those in too. A great love box isn't a one-off deal; you'll be able to add more things to it over time as you experience more things together. Make sure you have somewhere quiet and intimate you can present the gift to him. Depending on the amount of content you've packed into making it, it could take a while to digest it all, and you don't want any interruptions putting a damper on the experience. Sit next to him, and watch as he looks at the gift. Chances are he'll love it. If you want to go the extra mile, you can gift wrap the love box.

SUMMARY:
Figure out what defines your relationship. Buy a thoughtful gift. Do something creative and put it in the box. Enclose photos and souvenirs. Present the completed love box to your boyfriend.
