Q: These pre-made templates will save you setup time organizing your minutes, and help prevent mistakes. Use their search features and scroll through the options to find one that is best for you. If you need a specific kind of template--general or standard, for example--browse through the sites for your specific needs and download it by clicking the "download" or "use template" buttons. Make sure you save it in an easy to find place so it doesn't get lost. Now that you have it downloaded, unzip the file and open it in Microsoft Word or Excel. For the best quality and ease of use, use the latest version of Microsoft word. Keeping up to date will only make things simpler and allow you to make use of new features. Delete the other sample logo--but be sure to read the terms of use of whatever site you got the template from first. No need for any unnecessary legal troubles, right? In the title area, highlight the words "Meeting/Group" and type in your actual title for your meeting minutes. To make your minutes template look nicer and more professional, consider changing up the colors, or choosing an already made theme. It's simple: find the "Page layout" tab and follow it to the "Colors and Themes" section. There, you can customize how your template looks. You can even make it match the colors of your company logo. There should be several field names along the template. Maybe you need more, maybe less, or maybe you just don't like the way they're labeled. Customize them to fit the needs of your meetings. If you continue to use Microsoft Office, things will be quick and easy, and you should be able to keep up with the meeting in an even more organized and precise way than before. Alternatively, you can print out your template to write your notes by hand, but make sure you maintain the field heights to make sure you can fit as much information in as you need. Congratulations! Your meeting minutes template is completed. Your productivity and accurateness during meetings should rise up exponentially now that you have a template to guide you and organize your thoughts. As with any project, skim the details of your template to see if there's anything missing or unclear. Once you're sure that everything is in order, your template will be finalized for use and you'll be ready for your upcoming meetings.
A: Visit a meeting template collection site. Take some time to browse on each site. Open the file. Add your company logo and copyright sign in the header. Change the title.

Q: Don't rush out and buy a brand new ball to practice with! Using an old ball for spinning is actually better for beginners. The grooves in an older ball are worn down, making it easier for your finger to stay on target and balance while you spin the ball. Having a little bit of nail above your fingertip can help you balance the ball more easily, but if your nails are long, trim them! Long nails can get broken, or even make it impossible for you to spin. Spinning a basketball too hard or too quickly can strain your wrists or even fracture your finger! Spend a minute or two stretching your fingers and arms to warm them up before you practice. You don't need to do any special exercises. Just extend your arms and fingers as far out as they can go, and repeat a few times.
A:
Find an old basketball. Trim your nails. Stretch your fingers and arms.
