Load up a new playlist and listen to some music. You can either just sit and listen to the music, or you can play the music in the background to accompany you while you do another task. New music is considered enjoyable and makes time seem to speed up. Turning on the TV can help you stop thinking so closely about the time. Allow yourself to become absorbed in the storyline of a TV show. Binge-watching an entire season of a TV series is a great way to pass the time. You can watch episode after episode through a service like Netflix or Hulu; if the show is good, you'll get more invested in the storyline and time will fly by. Video games offer compelling narratives that can suck you into their worlds. If you are playing a massively multiplayer online (MMO) game, you will interact with others online, taking your attention away from clock-watching. Find a good, juicy story or revisit an old favorite novel. It helps if the book is not too difficult to read; if you have to process a lot of what you're reading or constantly look up vocabulary, then you might lose your momentum to get lost in the story. Choose a movie with lots of action or comedy. A fast-paced plot with good acting and an easy-to-follow storyline will help the time feel like it's going more quickly. If the movie has a sequel, move on to that movie to keep passing the time. A slow-paced drama might feel like it's dragging, especially if you're already conscious of how slowly time is passing. Dive into a project with multiple parts. This will engage your attention with various steps and instructions. A good project could be working on a model, painting a picture or building some shelves for your living room.

Summary: Listen to music. Watch TV. Play a video game. Read a book. Watch a movie. Work on a big project.

This statement should provide a straightforward explanation of the identified business problem or issue, and discuss the business areas that the business case must address for successful implementation. Use the first sentence of the problem statement to concisely present the problem, issue or goal that the business case seeks to resolve. For example, if the business problem is the need to generate additional lines of revenue the problem statement should begin with a statement that: "[Insert business name] is interested in expanding its current revenue stream by [business case's proposed answer to the business problem]." Get the approval of those requiring the report before continuing. Express the projects and options proposed by the group as a solution to the business problem, goal or issue. Explain in detail how the proposed change/plan addresses and resolves the problem, issue or goal. Include what should be accomplished by implementing the proposed business case plan. Indicate what is needed to implement the solution or project, including items like a monetary budget and increased labor numbers. Anything that is needed to complete this solution should be explained in the proposed solutions statement. Explain the methods used, and the research conducted in order to come up with the business case plan's proposed options. Include information about meetings with surveyed departments and target audiences. Provide ideal dates and worst-case scenarios for plan implementation, as well as a more general time frame for business case plan implementation and completion. Provide the costs associated with the project implementation timeline, as well as the potential costs/losses associated with not implementing the proposed business case plan. Explain the potential consequences and losses that could result from the plan not being implemented. The executive summary is the first, and most important part of the business case. The business case executive summary outlines the proposed project, that if implemented, would further the identified business goal, and/or resolve the identified business problem or issue. The executive summary will contain the major considerations that will be later discussed in more detail, including the timeline for business case implementation and completion, as well as the projected benefits and costs of business case implementation. Begin your executive summary with language such as: "This report is submitted in support of [insert business plan, goal or issue]. Provided is an evaluation and analysis of all relevant financial, marketing and business costs/considerations associated with implementing the suggested recommendations in this business case." From there provide an explanation of why the proposed business plan should be implemented, and identify the impacts on the business for not implementing the plan.

Summary: Write down the problem statement. Create a proposed solutions statement. Provide detailed timelines and time frames for successful project implementation and completion. Draft an executive summary.

Gloves will protect your hands from splinters and cuts while the goggles will keep wood chips from getting into your eyes. You can buy these at a garden or hardware store. If you are climbing on ladders, you may also want to wear a helmet and ask someone to act as a spotter. Disease can quickly infect a freshly cut branch, especially if it is damp or wet. To help prevent this, choose a dry, sunny day to prune your tree. Some varieties of magnolias can grow very tall, so you may need a ladder to reach the branches. If this is the case, make sure that there is someone else watching you, in case you fall or injure yourself. This person should not stand where a branch can fall on them. Be sure to use safe ladder practices. Do not exceed the weight rating on your ladder, and make sure that it is properly secured and grounded before climbing it. While you may be able to trim the lower branches yourself, it is generally a good idea to hire an arborist to take care of any branches that are very high on the tree or heavy. An arborist can safely treat any extensive issues that might be affecting the tree. If more than 1 branch is showing signs of a disease, an arborist can help you treat the tree without pruning too many branches. An arborist may advertise themselves as tree services or landscape services.

Summary: Wear protective gloves and goggles while you prune. Prune the tree when it is dry outside to prevent disease. Ask someone else to spot you if you need to use a ladder. Hire an arborist if the tree has many dead or diseased branches.

Guide paper is paper that has two horizontal, parallel, solid lines running from one side of the paper to the other, with a dotted line that is in the middle of the two lines. This paper will help the student focus on making the letters the correct sizes. Large letters should reach from the top solid line to the bottom solid line, and lower-case letters should reach from the dotted line to the lower solid line. You can typically purchase this paper at teacher supply stores, or you can download templates online (search for "handwriting guide paper," and you will find multiple templates). In a pinch, you can also make the paper yourself. However, if you do this, you should make sure that all guidelines are uniform in size and length so that the students can practice with consistency. It is important that students also learn to pay attention to the spacing between each letter and each word, and to try and be consistent with the spacing. Students can use their pinky fingers or a popsicle stick to help them learn how much space should be between each word. The spacing between letters is a bit more tricky to measure, but the letters should be far enough apart so that they do not touch or run into each other. At first, students will have a hard time focusing on this, but as their motor skills develop, they should practice keeping all letters slanted at a uniform angle. One way to help the students check whether the slant is uniform is to draw a vertical line through the center of each letter. When you (or the student) finish drawing these lines, you should be able to see that the lines are all parallel to each other. If the student is still learning how to make the slant uniform, some lines will be parallel, while some may slant in opposite directions. If the student is struggling, don't lose your patience. Simply explain to them how the lines should look, and demonstrate it yourself. Then, let them practice again.
Summary: Use guide paper. Practice letter and word spacing. Observe the slant of the letters.
