Summarize the following:
This could be obviously dictated by other commitments, but you should first of all get to know how your body works. Once again, this is subjective. Whether you're a morning person or a night owl, pick the time of the day when your energy is at its highest. If you need to maximize time to finish a large amount of work, leave the easier tasks to the part of the day when your level of attention is lower. For example, if you're writing an essay, do the thinking and background reading when you're more focused and format it or proofread it when you're less concentrated. Having a fixed schedule is like finding the right space: training your body to associate a specific time with a task will make it easier for you to transition from leisure to work when focus-time has come. Multitasking is usually the privilege of those who have little trouble finding concentration in any situation. If you struggle with staying focused, however, limiting yourself to one activity is the best way to avoid getting carried away by other tasks. Choosing the right environment and time plays a large role: this is why it is best to avoid places where you usually perform other activities, like bedrooms, kitchens or lounges. Because they are designed to exclude any interference, libraries and study rooms work for most people as the best place to concentrate. Your mobile and laptop could be a great source of distraction. If you're reading on it and find yourself checking your e-mail too often, download the documents you're working on (if they're online) and turn off the internet connection, silence your mobile and keep it in your bag or pocket. Sometimes distraction can come from the assignment itself: if you feel overwhelmed by its size, make a clear plan of smaller steps you can take toward completing it. It will be easy to get down to work once this is broken into more manageable bits. For example, having fifteen books to read in less than a week can be a little mind-boggling: make a list of which are more important and should be read more carefully; divide them into categories; make a schedule of which you should read on each day; devote some time to reading other sources where the main points of each book are summed up, so you know what to expect once you approach them. It is unnatural for anyone to stay focused for a whole day. Not allowing yourself some time off can actually decrease your concentration and tire you out. Make sure your daily schedule includes several interruptions of different lengths where you can reboot your energies. You can take more breaks as you start building up your concentration skills and decrease their number if you feel your attention span is getting longer. For your breaks, choose activities that clear your mind, like exercise, or focus on something other than work, like cooking or chatting with friends. If you're break is meant to last 10 minutes, enjoy them to the fullest but, once they're over, go straight back to work without hesitating. Giving yourself a little prize to look forward to for each period you've stayed focus is a good way to work faster and more efficiently. It also gives your mind more incentives to develop long-term concentration skills. This can be anything you enjoy doing. The size of the reward should be commensurate to the task performed. After a two-hour study session, you can reward yourself by having a snack, while after a full day of work a good meal is more appropriate; a full week of essay-writing might call for a night out with friends.

summary: Find the schedule that suits you best. Focus on one thing at a time. Subdivide larger tasks into smaller ones. Take breaks. Be strict with yourself when you follow your time schedule. Reward yourself.

Maybe the critique has a worthy point you can learn from. If the critique is straightforward, maybe it's something that can help you grow. For example, maybe a person who is called smelly can learn to wear deodorant before exercising. Look who is doing the insulting and what their motive is. Are they just giving a silly opinion? Or is the person a loving relative who just wants to help? Think about what the person is saying. Your mom probably wants what's best for you. If she hurts you, tell her, but know she is trying to help. Even if things don't end well, when you get home, think about what you got out of the encounter. Perhaps the person taught you how not to behave or you'll learn something about a particular person's personality. In the future consider whether or not you want to hang out with someone who hurt you. Perhaps you learned that this is not the sort of person you would like to be around.

summary: Ask more questions. Remember criticism is different than feedback. Ask yourself what you learned from the interaction.

It's difficult and inadvisable to handcuff someone who is actively resisting. Before beginning to handcuff an uncooperative suspect, concentrate on controlling them first. If you can't restrain them with your hands or body it might be best to step back and use a non-lethal method to subdue them, such as a Taser or an expandable baton. Always be ready for resistance, even if the suspect seems to be cooperative. If you are within six feet of a suspect you need to act as if you are anticipating a struggle. Speak confidently, keep your grip on firm, and apply the handcuffs swiftly. If your suspect can't see the actual process of handcuffing they are unlikely to resist in an effective way. This means handcuffing them from behind while facing a wall or other large object. Try to avoid handcuffing a person directly against an object like a wall or car. If they decide to resist, it will give them a surface to leverage against and they may injure themselves or you. Stand with your feet slightly parted and knees slightly bent so that you can keep your balance in the face of an assault. If your suspect begins violently resisting and you aren't properly balanced they may knock you over, resulting to injury in yourself and the possible loss of your suspect. While keeping your balance, try to limit theirs. Have the suspect spread their feet apart and bend slightly forward, or handcuff them while they're kneeling on the ground. Handcuffs should be stored in a loaded position, meaning that the shackle jaw should be pushed through the ratchet in the body of the cuff until it's almost through. Check that the double lock is not already engagedthis should only be operated after cuffing. Be knowledgeable about your handcuffs. Always read the manual in advance so that you will know the information you need to know. There are several kinds of handcuffs so you need to be familiar with your own.
summary: Take control of the situation. Restrict your suspect's field of vision. Keep your balance. Carry handcuffs correctly.
