INPUT ARTICLE: Article: To brainstorm and organize ideas for your project, make a mind map to stimulate new thoughts. Use a plain piece of paper, poster board, or whiteboard for your mind map and write the goal of your project in the middle. Write down related topics, subtopics, and relevant concepts around the goal, and branch out from them to create and follow different tangents. For instance, if your goal is to "provide a comprehensive account of the history of the fur trade in North America", subtopics and tangents could include "relations with Natives", "history of European fashion", and "the cultural significance of fur". If you are doing a group project, brainstorming things together will allow each group member to feed off of the ideas of others and gain new insight. Schedule a brainstorming session in a quiet place with few distractions. If you are working on a project on your own, group discussion with friends or colleagues can help you gain a new perspective on the topic you're covering. Remember to include everybody in any decision-making. Plan out the process of your research by using the gap filling brainstorming technique. To do this, identify where you are starting from in terms of your knowledge and resources (i.e. Point A), and identify where you want to go with your project (Point B). Make a list of all of the things missing between Point A and Point B and make a plan for filling in this gap. For instance, if Point A is starting a project about electric cars with limited knowledge on the topic, and Point B is completing a PowerPoint presentation about them, you can fill the gap by conducting research (online and in a library), outlining the history, technology, and possible future of electric cars, and procuring pictures and news articles about them.

SUMMARY: Try mind mapping. Discuss things in a group. Plot out your research.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you can't restore your iPod using the iTunes method above because you're prompted for a passcode, or you've never used your iPod with iTunes before, you'll need to put your iPod into Recovery Mode. This will allow you to restore it without needing the passcode. Because you are using Recovery Mode, you won't be able to create a backup of your iPod before restoring it. You will lose all data on your iPod. You'll need to start the procedure with your iPod powered down completely. Press and hold the Power button and swipe the Power slider to turn it off. The only way to use Recovery Mode is to connect it to a computer and use iTunes. You don't have to have synced your iPod with that computer in the past. If you don't have iTunes installed, you can download it for free from apple.com/itunes/download. Don't release the buttons after you see the Apple logo. Continue holding the buttons until you see the iTunes logo on your iPod's screen. If your iPod's Home button doesn't work, download TinyUmbrella from firmwareumbrella.com, run the program, then click "Enter Recovery Mode." This will begin the restore process for the iPod. If this process still doesn't let you restore your iPod, see the next section. Once the restore process is complete, you'll be prompted to setup your iPod as if it were new. If you have an existing backup, you'll be able to load it.
Summary: Use this method if iTunes prompts for a passcode. Turn your iPod completely off. Connect your iPod to your computer. Open iTunes. Press and hold the Power and Home buttons. Click "Restore" in the window that appears in iTunes. Setup your iPod.

If you've been exhausted or not sleeping, your day off should be spent in bed, resting your body and brain. You don't need to sleep the whole time if you don't want to, but you should definitely allow yourself to rest a few more hours than usual. Don't forget to disconnect the alarm. Once you're awake, take a long and warm bath to relax your muscles. If doing chores and housework will make you feel a little saner on your day off, go for it. A mental health day doesn't mean that you have to just sit around relaxing. In some cases, restoring order to your surroundings will bring you to a place of peace. You've been working so much that you have eaten your sandwiches in front of your computer for the last four months. It's time to go to a restaurant and enjoy a lazy lunch with a friend. Go for a healthy meal and don't eat too much if you don't want to feel sleepy during the whole afternoon. Office work is stressful for the body and the spirit. There are several activities which will allow your muscles to stretch and your mind to relax. Here are a few suggestions: There's nothing like sport to make you spend some energy and stretch in a fun way. Try to pick a sport you like and avoid injuries! Go for a massage to feel truly relaxed and pampered. Aromatherapy is a good alternative. It is relatively cheap and can make you feel very good. If work has taken you away from the ones you love, spend the day making time to be with those important folks. For example if you've been working endless hours, seven days a week and haven't had a chance to spend time with your daughter, plan an entire day around what she wants to do. You can also combine a few nice activities at the same time. Why not having a go at a good restaurant with your friends before heading for a massage with your family? If you're a workaholic, you will probably feel uncomfortable or guilty during your day off. Brush this feeling aside. Everybody deserves a day off once in a while and should be allowed to relax. Remember that you need to care for yourself in order to continue being a productive worker and present parent/ family member. Things at the office will not fall apart if you're gone for one day. Getting a break can help you refuel and regain creativity to approach new problems.
