Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Use a chronological organization system. Organize files according to document type. Include all the necessary documents. Back up your hard copies with electronic copies.

Answer: This type of organizational system is best for people who tend to categorize events chronologically in their minds, though it really just boils down to a matter of preference. To organize your personnel files chronologically, you'll create a separate file for each employee. Within that employee file, you will include all of the pertinent documents in chronological order. For example, one employee's file might begin with a completed job application, resume/CV, and W-4, then add newer documents behind like annual performance evaluations. This type of organizational system is best for people who tend to look at the bigger picture more, though personal preference is the main determining factor. For this type of organization, you'll need to group files by document type, keeping all similar files together for every employee. For example, you could have one file that contains all of the employee drug tests, another one for all employee performance evaluations, and yet another for necessary medical records. Within each document type grouping, you should organize the files alphabetically to make it easier to find each employee's forms as needed. Most governments have laws in place related to what documents a company is required to keep for each employee. Make sure you check with local and national laws to ensure that you're maintaining your personnel files according to their requirements. Your personnel files should include all information related to the hiring/application process and the relationship between the employee and the company. This includes documents related to performance evaluations, employee commendations, and even disciplinary measures taken. Most laws require businesses to maintain documentation (even after an employee has been terminated) for at least 3 years, though it's recommended to keep them for a minimum of 5 years to cover your bases in case an unforeseen issue arises. While it's important to organize and maintain your original documents, it's also a good idea to make electronic copies of those documents. This could come in handy in case anything happens to the hard copies lost, damaged, destroyed, etc. Remember to continuously back up your electronic copies to make sure your safety net is up-to-date.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Inquire about their reasons for wanting to learn now. Assess their current skill level. Create a goal-oriented timeline.

Answer: Some people want to learn how to swim for general safety reasons. Others want to learn so that they can safely take their kids to the pool. Still others might want to learn to swim in order to conquer a lingering fear from childhood. Understanding their reasons can help you decide how to proceed with the lessons and what skills to focus on. For example, if your student wants to learn to swim in order to accompany their children to the pool, you might want to spend more time perfecting their freestyle stroke, as this is the best way to reach someone who needs assistance in the water. Helping your student become more comfortable with this stroke can help them feel like they are achieving their goals more quickly. Ask your student about any previous swimming experience. If the adult student already has some swimming experience, ask them to demonstrate some of the skills they already have. Ask them what they feel most comfortable with and least comfortable with so that you can build up their confidence accordingly. Discuss the end results that your student hopes to achieve and come up with a reasonable plan for achieving those goals. Talk about how often you'll meet for lessons each week, whether they should swim on their own for "homework," and provide a timeline for several important swimming milestones. For example, it might be helpful to plan with your student that they should be able to complete an unassisted lap across the length of the pool by a certain date.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Encourage daily writing. Encourage your child to keep a journal. Encourage your child to plan before writing difficult things. Resist the urge to do the writing yourself. Provide fun opportunities for revision.

Answer: The best way to improve writing skills, no matter the writer's age, is through regular practice. Your child might be getting a lot of good practice at school. However, if your child's school provides limited writing practice or if you're homeschooling your child, you may want to include additional formal writing lessons at home. Even having your child write very straightforward things (such as what they did at school that day or what kinds of snacks they want to eat) can be excellent writing practice. It doesn't always have to be creative writing practice to be effective. Recognize, however, that sometimes children will be reluctant to write. Let them take some time away from writing if they need to (unless they have to complete a school assignment). A daily journal can be a terrific way for a young writer to expand their vocabulary, develop a unique writing style, and learn how to express complicated thoughts in words. This builds essential skills and gives children an important outlet for sharing their thoughts and feelings. Sometimes the best writing practice is freewriting when your child simply writes whatever comes into their mind. However, if your child is a bit older and wants to write a longer or more ambitious story, encourage your child to make a writing plan first. Make sure your child has a sense of what they will write about, what the point of their story is, and (if relevant) what the assignment entails. Do they have a plan for the beginning, middle, and end of the story? Perfectionism can be harmful to your child's creativity and self-confidence. Rather than fixing your child's errors and mistakes, have your child reread their own writing and ask them what they think about it. Let them locate their own errors and encourage them to fix things themselves. Never take over and rewrite their story yourself. For example, you could underline the words they have misspelled without giving them the correct spelling. Ask them to look up the correct spelling in the dictionary. Be sure that you provide your child with positive feedback as well as gentle suggestions for improvements. One of the most important skills your child will learn is how to revise first drafts into final drafts. Encourage your child to make changes to their story and to work hard at improving it. For example, you can ask them to use sticky notes to build off of the first draft of a story in order to add more details, clarify their language, and vary their sentence structures. Let your child know that practice and perseverance are essential to the writing process.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Be aware of proper nutrition. Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. Consume breads and grains for energy. Eat protein to help maintain strength and provide energy. Ingest dairy for extra protein, strong bones and muscles.

Answer:
Informing yourself about the basics of proper nutrition can help you understand what your body needs to be healthy and avoid gaining the dreaded "Freshman Fifteen." It can also help you identify the best healthy foods for an eating plan to keep you on track. Depending on how active you are, men need 2,500 calories per day while women need approximately 2,000. You will get proper nutrition if you incorporate foods from the five food groups every day. The five food groups are: fruits, vegetables, grains, proteins, and dairy. Fresh fruits and vegetables are an important part of any healthy diet. They contain many important nutrients for you that can help you stay healthy and maintain your weight. You need 1-1.5 cups of fruit per day. You can get this from eating whole fruits such as raspberries, blueberries, or strawberries, or from drinking 100% fruit juice. Make sure to vary the fruits you choose so that you get a range of nutrients and try to not process them. For example, eating a cup of pure berries is much healthier than eating berries on top of a cake. You need 2.5-3 cups of vegetables per day. You can get this from eating whole vegetables such as broccoli, carrots, or peppers, or from drinking 100% vegetable juice. Make sure to vary the vegetables you choose so that you get a range of nutrients. Fruits and vegetables are easily incorporated into a variety of dishes including soups and stews, stir fry, or even something as simple as a cup of Greek yogurt with fresh fruit for a dessert. One of the primary sources of energy for you should be breads and grains. Getting enough breads and grains every day will help you keep up your energy and can also provide additional nutrients such as iron. You need between 5-8 ounces of grains per day, of which should be whole grains. You can get grains and whole grains from foods such as brown rice, whole wheat pasta or bread, oatmeal, or cereal. Choose grains that are as minimally processed as possible. For example, brown rice and whole wheat bread are far healthier than white rice. Choose breads and grains that are fortified with iron, Vitamin B, fiber and protein. Protein is an important nutrient for any person, especially when you're experiencing the pressures of studying. Traditional sources of protein such as meat or alternative sources such as fish or nuts can help you get enough protein. You need 5-6.5 ounces of protein per day. You can get protein from lean meats including beef, pork, or poultry; cooked beans; eggs; peanut butter; or nuts and seeds. You can get protein from a wide variety of non-meat foods including: nuts and nut butters such as almonds or peanut butter, soy products, tofu, quinoa, or legumes like lima beans. Be careful when consuming seafood or fish. Limit your cooked fish intake to 8-12 oz. per week and your canned intake to 6 oz. per week. Avoid tuna steaks, swordfish, mackerel, shark or any other fish with high mercury levels. Calcium is essential for maintaining your healthy and maybe even your weight. Eating foods such as cheese, yogurt, and even ice cream can help ensure you get the recommend servings of dairy. You need 2-3 cups, or 12 oz., of dairy per day. You can get calcium from a wide range of foods including dairy products like cheese, milk, or yogurt; leafy green vegetables such as spinach; dried beans or peas; and tofu.
