It's important for both your comfort and health to make sure that your backpack doesn't get too heavy as the school year progresses. For example, if you're continuously adding assignments, projects, snacks, and additional school supplies, your bag is going to gain some weight. If you notice that it's difficult to lift your bag or that the straps cut into your shoulders, it's probably time to clean out and reorganize. Your backpack shouldn't weigh more than 10-20% of your weight. For example, if you weigh 120 lbs, your backpack shouldn't weigh more than 12 lbs. You don't want anything in your bag except what is absolutely necessary; your school books, writing utensils, and current assignments. This will not only help with the weight of your bag but also keep you organized. For example, you probably don't need to keep returned assignments, projects, or instructions for homework you've already completed. Though papers don't weigh a lot on their own, they can really add up when you're saving a bunch of them. Instead, keep a binder or file folder at home for all returned papers. You can even organize it by subject. This way, if your teacher requests an older assignment, you'll know exactly where it is and how to find it. You don't have to do this every day, but you should try to clean out your bag every two weeks or every month. It's difficult to keep everything in place and organized when you are moving from class to class all day. You might start throwing your pens and pencils directly into your bag and shoving your papers into your books instead of your folders. To avoid this, try taking an hour or two at the end of the week, or every other week, and clean out your bag. You should take everything out and go through it. Throw or file away unnecessary papers, trash, old food, and broken pens or pencils. Make sure assignments or papers are in the appropriate folders and organize them by date if you can. You can also wash or vacuum out your bookbag at this time, too.

If fiber is affecting your health or making you uncomfortable, it may be ideal to consume less fiber than what's recommended for an average, healthy person. The total fiber intake recommended for women is: 25 g daily. The total fiber intake recommended for men is: 38 g daily. Keep track of how much fiber you eat throughout the day. You may find it easy to use a food journaling app to help you accurately calculate fiber each day. Fiber is found in a wide range of foods including grains, fruits, vegetables and legumes. Limiting the fiber in each meal or snack can help cut down on your overall consumption and may alleviate GI symptoms. Choose lower fiber fruits or remove fibrous parts of fruits. For example: eat applesauce instead of an apple, because the skin of the apple contains a large amount of fiber, or drink six ounces of 100% juice daily. Fruits that are lower in fiber include: canned fruit, cooked fruit, and fruit without the skin or peel. Choose lower fiber vegetables or remove fibrous parts. For example: take the skin off your potato or remove the seeds from your zucchini. Vegetables that are lower in fiber include: canned vegetables, well-cooked and very soft vegetables, vegetables without seeds, and 100% vegetable juice. Choose lower fiber grains. For example: avoid 100% whole grain foods since these are higher in fiber. Choose lower fiber grains like: white rice, white bread, cream of wheat or cream of rice, or plain pasta. There are two types of fiber soluble and insoluble. Insoluble fiber is sometimes called "roughage," as it's main function is speed the process of digestion. Insoluble fiber may stimulate bowls more than desired causing diarrhea in those who are susceptible or have a chronic health condition. Insoluble fiber is found in the following foods: whole grains, vegetables and wheat bran. Soluble fiber absorbs water, makes stools easier to pass and may slow digestion slightly. This type of fiber is more gentle and may be more appropriate for some people. Although insoluble fiber may have negative side effects for some, in general, it's a healthy addition to your diet and can help prevent constipation. Many food companies now add fiber into different foods to help increase fiber intake. Fiber may be added to foods that typically have little to no fiber and should be avoided by those minimizing fiber in their diets. Examples of foods to limit include: Orange juice with pulp and added fiber. Artificial sweeteners with added fiber. Yogurts with added fiber. Soy milk with added fiber. Granola bars or bread that have additional added fiber (these may be lower in fiber prior to processing additional added fiber). There are a variety of fiber supplements that are available to help people increase their fiber intake. However, these should be discontinued immediately if fiber is posing a problem for you or your health. Discontinue the use of any stool softeners or laxatives that contain added fiber. Do not take oral gummies or fiber capsules. Do not add extra powdered fiber or psyllium husk to foods or beverages. Writing up a meal plan can help you plan out all the meals and snacks you eat in a day and provide a framework for you to follow throughout the week. Calculate how much fiber is in each meal or snack and what your total daily intake will be. A meal plan will allow you to change things up, make substitutions or swaps so that you don't go over your target fiber goal each day. Take some of your free time to plan your meals and snacks for one week. Include all meals and snacks you typically eat everyday. Repeat this exercise every week or as needed.

First, unplug the power cord from the console so no electricity is running through it while you clean it. Then unhook the controllers from the console. Do the same with anything else that may be plugged into it so you have access to all of the console's ports. If you need to clean your console, then chances are that wherever you keep it also needs cleaning. Remove the console from there and place it somewhere clean and free of dust. Make the job easier by working on a surface that isn't going to get your console dirty all over again even while you clean it. Before you start blasting your expensive electronic device with compressed air, keep in mind that there's moisture inside that can. Always hold the can upright, since this lowers the risk of releasing that moisture. Also, hold the nozzle at least five or six inches (13 or 15 cm) away from what you're aiming at, since holding it closer will be less effective. Read the directions to your particular brand of compressed air for any additional advice or warnings. Start by firing short blasts along the indentation that runs around the middle of your console. Then move on to the ports located on its front and back. Finally, blast away as much dust as you can from the remaining surfaces, plus all of the vents. Be sure to use a clean, dry cloth to remove any lingering dust, since a wet one can end up harming your console. Wipe down all sides of the exterior to finish up. As you work on each side, always wipe in one continuous direction away the light sensor so none of it ends up in there. Also avoid wiping dust into any of the ports and ruining your work. Set the console aside and dust the area where you keep it. Depending on how much has accumulated and how much ends up in the air as you clean, give any airborne dust time to settle back down and repeat. Then set your console back in place.
