In order to keep from painting other parts of the car, you can either remove and paint the bumper separately or leave the bumper attached and carefully mask off the car body. Removing the bumper works best when you're repairing any scratches or cracks before repainting. Scrub the surface well with a tack cloth along with soapy water. Using a degreaser like kitchen soap will help remove dirt and oil, leaving your bumper cover clean and ready for paint. Run your hand over the bumper to find any rough spots. Wet sand down these areas by hand with a spray bottle and some 600-grit sandpaper. Keep a constant layer of water between the sandpaper and bumper by spraying the area you're working on. Make sure to alternate directions as you sand, moving back and forth as well as up and down, in order to achieve a smooth, flawless finish. Remove any dirt and dust from sanding with the soft cloth. The surface should be clean and dry in order for the paint to adhere properly.

Summary: Remove the plastic bumper cover or mask it off with painter's tape. Wash the bumper cover thoroughly with degreaser and water. Wet sand the bumper cover with 600 grit sandpaper in alternating directions. Wipe the bumper cover down with a clean tack cloth.

Start a routine of planning out your weekly outcomes on Sunday night. Break down your weekly outcomes into daily outcomes, then list each day's to-dos beneath them. This way you won't be running behind as soon as the week starts anymore. Do this planning on paper or whiteboard so you can see what your goals are, rather than trying to tally them all in your mind. The key to an organized mind is writing things down so your brain doesn't waste energy trying to contain them all. It's great to have all your tasks and ideas out on paper, but you need to make them mobile and give them room to grow. Adding them to the calendar in your smart device will make the list an automated part of your life, and will provide a platform for you to easily add to it. If you set an alarm for each task, you will be reminded to stay on schedule. If you don't carry a smartphone or tablet, transfer your new outcomes-and-tasks style of mind organization into your planner. For many of us, our smartphones have become our planners, but if you still carry a paper planner, be sure to get one with a big enough space for each day's tasks. The advantage of a paper planner over a mobile device is that you just flip it open and everything is mapped out. With a smartphone, you're having to access the calendar from an app, which means it's easy to ignore your calendar if you feel like itwhich will detract from maintaining an organized mind. At the end of the day when your outcomes have been accomplished, you will feel relieved instead of the way you used to feelwhich was probably stressed. There is evidence that the act of creating and crossing off a to-do list relieves the burden on our brains. Writing down your tasks and goals removes that distraction from your mind. If you have not completely finished a task or accomplished an outcome at the end of the day or week, calculate an estimated percent of what has been accomplished and write it on your notepad or planner. Your brain will be able to relax even if the task isn't fully accomplished in the allotted time.

Summary: Begin a weekly routine. Set up a schedule on your phone. Fill out a hard copy of your schedule. Check off each completed task and outcome.

Repeat this process with each section of hair, wrapping the hair around the rag, then the rag around the hair and tying it off. Keep your sections of hair as even as possible in order to have consistent curls. This could be the hardest part, but if you have grown your hair this long, you probably have the patience to wait it out. It is best to begin this entire process at least 24 hours before you want your style to be complete. At the very least, create your curls early in the evening, then sleep on them. Wrapped hair takes a long time to dry. The more hair you used in each section, the longer it will take to dry. If you need to speed up the drying time, you can sit under a bonnet hair dryer for an hour to finish off the process.

Summary: Wrap the rest of your hair around the flannel strips. Allow time for your hair to dry.

Even though most outdoor speakers are designed to withstand the elements, you will get a lot more life out of them if you protect them a little. Try to place your speakers under eaves or underneath the patio roof to help protect the speakers from the weather. Speakers should be about 8-10 feet (2.5-3 m) apart. If the speakers are too close together, the sound will be muddled and the speakers will overlap. If the speakers are too far apart, it will be difficult to hear and you will lose any stereo effects. A pair of speakers covers two channels: left and right. The two of these together creates a stereo sound. When installing more than a single pair of speakers, it is important to alternate left and right channels to ensure a proper stereo mix. This becomes especially important if you are installing a large number of speakers. If you are installing more than one speaker along a wall, alternate left and right channels along that wall. If you are installing speakers in a box around your patio, install the two left channels in opposing corners, and the two right channels in the other opposing corners. Make sure that the sound quality and projection is acceptable before mounting the speaker. Listening before installing can save you a lot of time and headache when you turn the system on for the first time. More speakers is better than higher volume. If you are having difficulty hearing the sound everywhere you want, consider adding another pair of speakers instead of trying to crank the volume to the max. Mounting your speakers high allows the sound to project much further, which can give you more coverage for less speakers. If you mount them near or above 10 feet (3 m), however, you will lose a lot of the bass. Try to keep your speakers between 810 feet (2.43.0m) off the ground. This will also provide a better listening experience, and help minimize noise pollution for your neighbors. Most brackets allow you to mount at an angle, and many contain swivels that you can position exactly how you want. The mounting process will vary depending on the type of bracket, but you'll usually need to drill into the mounting location. This may mean you will need a drill bit that can penetrate masonry. Only mount speakers on solid wood or masonry. Avoid mounting on cedar or aluminum siding, otherwise the speakers may start to sag. This can cause vibrations, which will lower the sound quality, or the speakers can fall entirely. Use the included brackets. Outdoor speaker brackets are already treated for weather. If you try to replace the brackets with ones not designed for outdoor use, they may rust and become weak. These provide a much more reliable connection than bare wire, which is essential for outdoor speakers. Banana plugs connect directly into the speaker wire clips on the back of the speaker and receiver. To install banana plugs, you will need to strip the end of the speaker wires. Each speaker wire has two wires: a red and a black. Pull them apart to separate them and give you some room to work. Each of these will need to be stripped about 3/4 of an inch from the end of the wire. Once the wire is stripped, unscrew the end of the banana plug and slip the exposed wire into the end. Once the wire is inserted, tighten the banana plug screw. Repeat this for the other exposed wire.
Summary: Place your speakers in sheltered areas. Space your speakers out. Alternate channels. Listen to the speakers before mounting them. Mount the speakers high, but not too high. Tilt the speakers down to promote drainage. Mount according to the instructions. Connect speakers using banana plugs.
