Article: Whether it's violin, basketball, or teaching yourself how to speak Klingon, everybody has a time during the day when they're at their peak. When do you feel the most awake, energized, and capable of taking over the world? That's when you should be practicing your violin. This is different for everyone. It could be right when you wake up, in the middle of the day, or even at midnight. It could last 2 hours or it could last 25 minutes. When is it easiest for you to practice? Clear your schedule for that time. You need a practice space that's away from distractions. No TV, phone, or friends or family members barging in and out. And if the acoustics are good, that's a plus, too. It should be a place you feel comfortable practicing in as well. Ideally, it's open and uncluttered and a space where you feel like you can actually get things done in. What's more, it shouldn't be somewhere that bothers others, either. In order to even get started, you'll need your music, a pencil and paper, and your music stand for starters. Did we mention your violin? That, too. What else helps you get going? For some it's a certain chair or a recording device. You'll be in there for a few hours most likely, so it's best to come prepared. In addition to taking care of the things you actually need, take care of the things that just make it easier, too. A bottle of water, a comfortable pair of pants, a snack, whatever. Feeling good will make your practice time more productive and make it easier to concentrate. Being ready and raring to go is part of the battle for productive practicing. If you're not in the mood, you're practice time is going to be dull and, well, a waste. But if you feel good physically, practice will just come that much easier.

Article: Put 1 cup (240ml) of cold water into the pressure cooker and set a steamer basket down into the cooker. If you're using a steamer basket that didn't come with your pressure cooker, ensure that it will fit inside your machine. Put the lid on the cooker and secure it closed. Turn the pressure cooker onto high pressure and set the timer to 6 minutes, if you're using small thighs. If you're using large thighs, they'll probably need closer to 9 minutes to pressure cook.

Article: Remove your board from the wall. Your battery and buzzer should already be taped to it. Glue the clothespin so it is positioned somewhat close to the battery and buzzer. Follow the glue directions and allow the glue to dry completely before moving on. A clothespin is small enough that general purpose glue or hot glue should work to fasten it. For best results, you may want to use a sturdy glue or a wood glue. Wires sticking out in all directions can be a hazard. They can snag on objects or be easily pulled out. Damaged wires will deactivate your alarm. Tape your wires to the board to prevent them from snagging or being pulled out. Then re-hang the board on the wall. Tape a piece of string to the cardboard. Alternatively, use scissors to make a small hole in the cardboard and tie the string to the hole in the cardboard in a simple knot. Make sure the string is firmly attached to the cardboard. The door may be opened suddenly. If weakly fastened, the string may pull free while the cardboard remains. In this case, the alarm will not go off. Attach the string to the doorknob or tape it to a part of the door. Adjust the length of the string so that when the door opens, the string is pulled. When the cardboard pulls out, the alarm will go off. If your door is painted or made of a nice material, you may not want to tape the string to it. Some tape, when peeled away, can damage paint or wood.
