In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: There are a couple of ways to do this, but the most obvious way is to use dialogue tags accurately. The reader can't get confused if your sentence clearly indicates that Evgeny is speaking, not Laura. When you have a long dialogue that's clearly being held between only two people, you can choose to leave out the dialogue tags entirely. In this case, you would rely on your paragraph breaks and indentations to let the reader know which character is speaking. You should leave out the dialogue tags when more than two characters are speaking only if you intend for the reader to be potentially confused about who is speaking. For example, if four characters are arguing with one another, you may want the reader to get the sense that they're just hearing snatches of argument without being able to tell who's speaking. The confusion of leaving out dialogue tags could help accomplish this. Your instinct might be to spice up your story using as many variations of "she said" and "he said" as possible, but tags such as "she groused" or "he denounced" actually distract from what your characters are saying. "He said" and "she said" are so common that they tend to become essentially invisible to readers. Instead of starting every dialogue sentence with "Evgeny said," "Laura said," or "Sujata said," try placing some dialogue tags at the end of sentences. Place dialogue tags in the middle of a sentence, interrupting the sentence, to change the pacing of your sentence. Because you have to use two commas to set the dialogue tag apart (see Step 3 in the previous section), your sentence will have two pauses in the middle of the spoken sentence: "And how exactly," Laura muttered under her breath, "do you plan on accomplishing that?" Whereas proper nouns name specific places, things, and people and are always capitalized, pronouns are uncapitalized words that stand in for full nouns, including proper nouns. To avoid the repetition of your characters' names, substitute the appropriate pronouns from time to time. Some examples of pronouns include I, me, he, she, herself, you, it, that, they, each, few, many, who, whoever, whose, someone, everybody, and so on. Pronouns must always agree with the number and gender of the nouns they're referring to. For example, the only appropriate pronouns to replace "Laura" are singular, feminine ones: she, her, hers, herself. The only appropriate pronouns to replace "Laura and Evgeny" are plural, gender neutral ones (because English loses gender when pluralized): they, their, theirs, themselves, them. Dialogue beats are brief moments of action that interrupt a sequence of dialogue. They can be good ways to show what a character is doing at the same time as telling what they're saying, and can provide a nice action boost to a scene. For example: "Hand me that screwdriver," Sujata grinned and wiped her grease-covered hands on her jeans, "I bet I can fix this thing." The biggest problem with dialogue is often that it doesn't sound believable. You talk perfectly normally every day of your life, so trust your own voice! Imagine how your character is feeling and what they want to say. Say it out loud in your own words. That's your starting point. Don't try to use big fancy words that nobody uses in normal conversation; use a voice you'd hear in everyday life. Read the dialogue back to yourself and see if it feels normal. Using dialogue to provide exposition not only creates dull dialogue, it also often results in speeches that are so long that they're likely to lose the reader's attention. If you need to communicate details about plot or backstory, try to show them through narration, not dialogue.
Summary: Make sure the reader knows who is speaking. Avoid using over-fancy dialogue tags. Vary the placement of your dialogue tags. Substitute pronouns for proper nouns. Use dialogue beats to mix up your formatting. Use believable language. Avoid info-dumping in dialogue.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Taking large tasks and breaking them down into smaller, more manageable action steps can help you beat your anxiety related procrastination. Breaking the task down can make the task seem less overwhelming, which can help you feel less anxious about getting it done. For instance, you can break a report for work down into researching it, writing it, and editing it. Or, you might break a school paper into the introduction, main points, and conclusion. Then work on completing one section rather than the whole thing. It can be especially helpful to set goals when you have anxiety because your anxiety can make it difficult for you to focus on and complete activities. Some research suggests that doing things like setting goals and deadlines for your tasks can help you beat procrastination. Setting goals gives you something concrete, self-defined, and manageable that you can do. Create specific goals with deadlines for the things you need to get done. For instance, you might say, "I will finish cleaning my room by 10 PM." Make your goals realistic. For example instead of setting a goal to finish a 10-page report in one day, set a goal to finish the first two pages in one day. Setting goals that are too difficult can actually increase your anxiety rather than reduce it. It may seem like a good idea to keep 'plugging at it' once you start working so that you don't lose your steam and start procrastinating. But, taking a break to de-stress, relieve tension, and recharge your brain and body is a better way to address your anxiety and your anxiety related procrastination. Take a five minute break when you complete one of the action steps for your task. Sit in a quiet place, close your eyes, and just take a few minutes to be still and quiet. When you complete a task or reach one of the goals that you have set for yourself, you should congratulate and encourage yourself with a small reward. Incentives can help motivate you as well as give you incentive to meet other goals. For instance, when you complete one of your action tasks, you might treat yourself to a piece of candy or a 5-minute break to play one of your favorite online games. Or, for example, you might treat yourself to the new shoes you've been eyeing when you finish a major report on time. It can be easy to beat yourself up when you procrastinate on doing something. Some evidence suggests, though, that doing this may make it more likely that you will procrastinate again. Instead, give yourself a break and forgive yourself if you procrastinate because of your anxiety. Remind yourself that procrastinating doesn't make you a lazy or bad person. You might say, "I procrastinated on this, but it doesn't mean I'm not a hard worker." Reduce some of the pressure on yourself by saying things like, "I didn't start on time for this assignment, but I'm not going to beat myself up. I can and will do better next time."
Summary:
Break your tasks down. Set goals. Take a break. Reward yourself. Forgive yourself.
