Add up your time and cost estimates, then review the assigned tasks. You may see that the project is too big and complicated to complete in time and under budget, or you may not have enough people. You'll need to make changes to complete the project. For example, you may only have a few weeks left to finish your video game. You'll need to finish the game, test it, and fix the bugs by hiring more people or delaying the release date. If you realize that you'll need more time to finish the project, tell the person who assigned the project. They may be willing to extend the deadline. It's important you ask right away so your team can adjust no matter what happens. Remember that an extended deadline means the project costs more time and money. If this affects your project, make sure you factor it in. You may need to hurry to meet the deadline, or the project may still have unassigned tasks to fill. Ask the project organizer for help or find people who can take on some of the tasks. In a business setting, more workers means the project costs more to complete. Make sure you are able to increase the budget to compensate. Sometimes your initial vision of the project isn't possible. Cut out some of the steps to focus on the project's important features. This will help you meet any budget or deadline concerns. For instance, video game developers often have to cut features that are too costly or can't be finished before the game's release date. Think about what's most likely to go wrong during the project. To plan for these, write down the ways you'll prevent these issues and deal with them if they arise. For example, you might worry that the client will change the project at the last minute. To compensate, resolve to keep documentation of the work and provide frequent updates to the client.

Summary: Review the project's budget and deadline. Move the deadline back if you can't finish the project in time. Bring in more people if the project needs to be completed faster. Eliminate some of the steps to complete the project faster. Decide on ways to fix worst case scenarios.

A personal heating pad, such as a Thermacare patch, is activated by exposure to the air and is invisible underneath your clothes. Wearing one can reduce cramping and relieve pain without needing to perform the paper towel method. Many patches stay warm for up to 8 hours, and you can apply them directly to the abdomen or back for relief. Keep a patch in your car or book bag, so you'll always have one handy in case you need it. Over-the-counter pain medications, such as ibuprofen and acetaminophen, can reduce your pain and make you more comfortable. For the best pain relief, take these medications at the onset of your cramping and continue while you are experiencing symptoms. It's generally more effective to get ahead of the pain with medication when it is mild, than to blunt the pain once it is already very strong. Ibuprofen dosage is 200 to 400mg orally every 4 to 6 hours as needed. Acetaminophen dosage is 500-1000mg every 6 hours as needed. If you're at a hotel or restaurant for a business meeting, you can also ask the concierge or maitre d' for a painkiller. Many keep a stock of common OTC medications for staff members and are happy to share one with patrons. If you find your cramps begin and you don't have any medication with you, ask a friend if they have a capsule to spare. While tampons are very convenient, they can irritate the cervixes of some women, aggravating cramping. If your cramping is very intense, it may be worth switching to pads for a day in case some topical irritation is increasing your discomfort. Most public restrooms in schools and offices have pads available in the feminine-product vending machines. Potassium can help keep you hydrated and relieve muscle cramps due to dehydration. If your cramping acts up when you're away from home, grab a banana to snack on. It's an easy food to take on the go and may relieve some of your discomfort.

Summary: Apply a personal heating pad. Ask a friend for OTC pain medication or carry a small bottle with you. Switch to maxi pads. Grab a banana.

Use the same wire type as the material you are welding. For example, if you are welding stainless steel, use a stainless steel wire. For steel welding, there are two main types of wire. AWS ER70S-3 is an all-purpose steel wire. This is usually the most economical choice. AWS ER70S-6 is a high-quality steel wire, designed for welding on rusty or dirty steel E71TGX requires no shielding gas. It is suited for welding in high winds and for painted or rusty materials. Vary the diameter of your wire based on the thickness of the metal you are welding. Use thin wire for thin metals, and thicker wire for thicker metals. You may need a larger machine for thicker metals. Tighten the tension on the reel so that the wire doesn't unravel due to its own tension. Make the first 3 inches (7.6cm) of the wire as straight as possible to avoid tangles or damage to the line feeder. Use a wire cutter to trim the wire accordingly. Insert the wire into the guide tube and feed it over the roller. Insert it in to the wire liner. If you have to use force, chances are that the wire is not aligned properly. Make sure the wire is free from rust or grease, this will cause bad welds. Use a dry cloth to clean any dirty wire before inserting it. Wire will become rusty if left in the welder when not in use. Once the wire is inserted into the liner, turn the welder on and use the wire feed mechanism to push the wire through the welder. Once your wire is fed through, you will need to adjust the tensioner. TOO much tension will cause the mountings to bend, damaging the welder. Keep the tension at the minimum amount that still allows the line to be fed through. Make sure to check the tension on the reel as well as on the line feeder. Both should be as low as possible.

Summary: Obtain the proper wire. Prepare the reel. Feed the wire to the torch. Adjust the tension.

Before you start worrying about memorizing the lyrics, it's important to get the tune of the song down. In many cases, the melody can actually help remind you of what the next words in the song are. If you can read music, you can study the sheet music to identify the notes that comprise the melody. Otherwise, listen to your recording of the song to hear how the vocalist sings the melody. When you're first singing the melody, you don't have to use the correct lyrics. It's often easier to just use "La" for each word until you've got the melody down. In many cases, it's easier to memorize lyrics when you understand the song's meaning. That's because you can start to visualize certain parts of the song, and the images that you come up with may help you remember key phrases or lines. If you're having trouble understanding the song, websites such as SongMeanings.com and SongFacts.com offer analysis of many popular songs. You may want to search online for articles where the writer or composer of the song discussed its meaning. The song's creator is the best source for that information. If there are words that you don't understand in the lyrics, look them up in the dictionary. It's often difficult to remember words if you don't know what they mean. When you're ready to sit down and learn the song, it helps to work on it in separate parts, so you're not overwhelmed by the process. For example, you might start with the first verse and move onto the next verse once you've gotten that part down. The chorus is often a good place to start, though, because it typically recurs throughout the song, so you'll have memorized a larger percentage of the song if you learn it first. It's often a good idea to start with the most difficult section of the song. Whether it's second verse that has a lot of wordy lines or the chorus which moves very quickly, memorizing the toughest part will usually require the most work, so it's best to get it over with first.
Summary: Learn the melody. Analyze the lyrics. Study the song in sections.
