Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Write down your goals. Move the goalposts. Make a deal with yourself. Consider the best-case and worst-case scenarios.

Answer: Put your goals and your reasons for working towards them on paper. A biology student might find it easy to become tired and discouraged in her studies. Remembering why she is in school because she wants to develop life-saving drugs or be a teacher like the one who first inspired her is a powerful motivator. Tape your goals to the wall of your office, to your computer, or to your bedroom or bathroom mirror. Keep them in a place where you'll be frequently reminded of them. This will keep focused and stay on track. Having a large and specific goal can motivate you more than a series of smaller goals. At the same time, however, your central ambition might sometimes seem far away or like an impossibly huge task. Don't let yourself be overwhelmed. This sort of thinking is known to kill motivation and lead people to abandon projects. Move the goalposts when you feel this way. If you are writing a novel, for example, put the big picture to the side for a while and work on the current chapter or on revising 20 pages per day. Focusing on small, concrete tasks will move you ahead incrementally and help you finish what you have started. Chronic procrastinators sometimes need more concrete incentives. Set performance standards and reward yourself. The deals can be small or large. Treat yourself to a short break once you have finished some work. Did you ace your year-end exams? That calls for a bigger reward: take a weekend off to celebrate with your friends. Try to use inducements that will motivate you to follow through. Stop and think: what is absolute best that can happen if you go through with your plans? What is the absolute worst? If you are really committed to a goal, remind yourself of how much you potentially stand to gain by following through or how much you potentially stand to lose by failing. Weight the two. What can you expect from applying for jobs in your dream field of architecture? What is the worst that can happen if it doesn't pan out? Most times the worst-case scenario boils down to fear fear of failure, fear of rejection, or fear of regret while the upside promises very tangible benefits.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Have their partner join them.

Answer: If their partner is selectable, just direct them to join the other Sim; if they're not selectable, click on them and select Ask to Join. If they're using a double bed, click on the Sim and select Cuddle to enable further romantic options. (You can direct them to kiss or make out, but if their relationship is high enough, it's not necessary.)

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Stretch. Move around. Keep your extremities warm. Get hot coffee.

Answer: Before you go outside, warm your body slightly by stretching your arms and legs and torso. Athletes do this to prepare for playing in colder temperatures, while also preventing injuries during the event. Try not to stretch too much before you go outside. If you begin to sweat indoors, then it will feel colder when the cool air touches the sweat on your skin. A good way for a quick warm-up is a quick warm-up. When you're active, your body's blood circulation increases, which causes you to warm up. Here are some standing exercises to keep warm while outside: High knee kicks. Place your hands in front of you and kick your knees up to your hands. Jumping jacks. Torso twists. Keeping your elbows lifted, twist your upper body from side to side at a moderate pace. Dance. If the occasion calls for it, don't be afraid to dance to the music! Even if you're just wearing a t-shirt, keeping other parts of your body can warm your overall internal core. Blow hot air into cupped hands and rub them together. Outer extremities are the first to develop damage from cold temperatures. These consist of your toes, fingers, ears, and nose. Extremities don't have the muscle or blood flow to keep them as warm as the rest of your body. Keep these areas warm to avoid freezing injuries like frostbite. Hot coffee, tea or cocoa are excellent ways to warm your hands and taking sips of the warm liquid will warm your body. It will force you to move around in order to get the drink, and the caffeine and sugar will give you energy to keep moving. It's a win-win for staying active and keeping warm.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Get on a solid sleep schedule. Start a new hobby. Commit to regular reorganizing and cleaning. Find a work/life balance.

Answer:
If you want to stay organized and on top of things, solid sleep is vital. Work on establishing a healthy sleep cycle so you'll have the energy you need to stay organized and on-track throughout the day. Go to sleep and wake up at the same time each day. Your body will adapt to a regular sleep/wake cycle, so try to stay on schedule even on the weekends. Form a relaxing bedtime ritual to signal to your body that it's time to wind down. You could read a book, do a crossword puzzle, take a warm bath, and so on. Just avoid using your computer close to bed time, as blue light emitted from electronic screens can stimulate your brain and make sleep difficult. Make sure your room is comfortable. If there are any sheets, blankets, or pillows that irritate your skin, replace them with higher quality items. A great way to reorganize your life is to find a new way to pass the time. Think about starting a new hobby. This can give you something to do during your down time, reducing feelings of stress or boredom. Find something that interests you personally. Many people find doing something creative, like writing or playing a musical instrument, can help them feel balanced and fulfilled. You can also look into getting active. Exercise can make you feel more relaxed and boost your energy, allowing you to take the time necessary to get your life in shape. You could take up running, jogging, walking, biking, or any form of physical activity you enjoy. Organization and cleaning must happen on a regular basis. Your new, clean apartment or house will not stay that way if you don't commit to regular cleaning. Get on a schedule of cleaning, reorganizing, and downsizing on a regular basis. You can set specific days of the week aside for cleaning. For example, maybe you have Tuesday afternoons off. This might be a good time to work on giving your house a quick cleaning. You may want to set aside a day once a month to reorganize and declutter. You can, for example, take the first Saturday of each month as a chance to get rid of unwanted items in your home and reorganize anything that's not working. Your career is important, but if it's eating up your ability to relax you may have trouble staying organized and on track. Find ways to find a solid work/life balance so you can feel happier and more fulfilled in your life. Track your time in a journal. See how much time you spend on work per week. You should also track how work affects your mood, and the time you spend worrying or angry over work. Form a schedule for yourself. Set aside time at least once a day for yourself. Allow yourself not to think about work during certain blocks of time. For example, at 6 o'clock every night you'll play the piano for an hour and not think about your job. Talk with co-workers. They may also struggle with work/life balance, especially if you work in a demanding field, and may have advice on how to find the balance.
