Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Avoid dangerous places. Be aware of your surroundings. Use the "back off" command. Take self-defense. Create obstacles to entering your home. Report suspicious activity. Contact the authorities.

Answer: While a predator can attack from anywhere, you'll give yourself an advantage if you stick to the beaten path. At night, try to avoid walking by yourself. You'll do well to avoid places like: High-crime areas Isolated side streets Dark alleyways A predator might try to approach if you look like you are lost or confused. Try to plan a route ahead of time if you are going to be walking alone. That way, you can keep an eye out for suspicious activity instead of trying to figure out which way to go. Pay attention. A bad target is one who is not listening to headphones or looking at their phone. A predator might try to approach you on the street. If someone suspicious comes near you, use your words. Say loudly and clearly to "back off". You can also say, "Get away from me" or "Do not come closer." Don't worry about being polite. Contact your local community center or gym to find a class near you. Learning self-defense can teach you how to protect yourself if you are attacked. Knowing self-defense will help you feel empowered and more confident. Your local police station might also offer a class. Preparedness can help you to avoid attackers. But there might come a time when you are actually confronted by a predator. Try to head off the attack if this happens. Keep your home safe by installing alarms, good locks, and security cameras. If a predator is lurking, you can hopefully prevent them from gaining access to you and your home. You don't have to wait until you are attacked to voice your concerns. If you feel like you are being threatened or watched, say something. For example, if you are out walking, step into a store or business. You can say, "I'm worried that the person behind me is following me. Do you mind if I stay in here until they move on?" If you fear or know that you are dealing with a predator, get professional help. Call your local police. You can also report online predators to the FBI. It is always better to be safe rather than sorry.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Find your best time to work. Structure each day at the beginning of each day. Work on both short- and long-term goals actively. Create a routine and then shake it up. Take scheduled breaks.

Answer: Are you a morning person? A night-owl? Maybe just after lunch is your peak period. Find the time in the day that you're at your best and structure your life around that fact. There's no sense in pretending to be an early riser if you crave the 3am study session in your soul. Listen to yourself and do what works. Creating a plan for yourself helps to eliminate distracting thoughts and stress. Compartmentalize each thing you need to do in a given day, trying to anticipate how much time you'll need to accomplish it. Try to leave in some wiggle room in case you end up needing more time to bash out a draft of your paper, or more time to prepare for that presentation at work. Try your best to do one thing at one time. When it's time to eat breakfast and read the paper, just eat breakfast and read the paper. You don't have to worry about studying for that English essay if you know you're going to study for it at 4:30, after you get off work and before you meet up for dinner. It's best if you can help to remind yourself why you're doing what you're doing to help keep you on track and remind yourself of the bigger picture. Remember your long term goals, and how the little things you do fit into your larger plan for yourself. One of the most nagging distractions when you're trying to sit down to study trig notes might be, "Why am I doing this? I should be out partying and living my life!" In those moments, it's helpful to remind yourself why you're studying: "I've got to pass this class so I can get my degree and go to grad school and become the most powerful pediatric neurosurgeon in Whitman County. My plan is in effect." Take time for an evil laugh, then get back to it. Monotony can be its own distraction. Learn when you're getting bored of the same old, same old. Try to structure your day by doing different types of activities back-to-back. So you don't have to do one housework thing after another, alternate studying and housework, or throwing in some exercise. Don't answer all your emails at once, answer a few, then take a break to do something else productive. At the end of the day, you'll end up being more productive if you shake it up. This may not be true for everyone. Learn how you work best. If it's more efficient for you to plow through and grade 20 papers all at once, more power to you. Pour a glass of wine and get to it. Breaks are important, but the temptation of a break can start to creep in at particularly insidious moments, like just as your essay starts to get hard and you might be better served by getting over the difficult hump of that paragraph or that page. If you schedule breaks regularly and try your best to stick to that schedule, though, you'll be able to keep yourself more productive and more relaxed. If you've got a long day ahead of you, some people find it effective to go for a 50-10 breakdown. If you've got a bunch of work to do, go all-out for 50 minutes and then take 10 minutes to do something relaxing. Get up from your desk, take a walk, watch a YouTube video of a bulldog bouncing on a trampoline, do what you need to do to get the break you need. Then get back to it.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Apply a lubricant to reduce friction on your skin. Use a powder to remove moisture on your skin. Put bandaids on your nipples.

Answer: One of the most popular products used by runners to prevent chafing is body glide. Simply apply it to areas that are prone to chafing, like between your legs, under your arms, and on your nipples. The lubricant should stay on your skin and absorb moisture during even the hottest days of the year. Another lubricant that you can get over the counter is Monistat Soothing Care Chafing Relief Powder Gel. Other popular lubricant products include HikeGoo and Red11. Look for a powder that has micro-particle polymers that glide over your skin and absorb sweat. Try a powder that will keep your skin dry, like the bizarrely named Lady Anti Monkey Butt Powder. Thought this may be a bit DIY, cutting band aids in half and applying them to your nipples will create a barrier between your clothing and your skin as you run. You can also apply NipGuard to the area before a run to prevent chafing in the nipple area.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Style your hair quickly with a damp comb or a spray bottle. Try roller setting your hair instead of heat styling it. Wrap your hair at night in a silk scarf.

Answer:
If you want a quick way to combat bed head, hold your comb under running water or lightly mist your hair with a spray bottle. Once your hair is slightly damp, comb it into your favorite style. Another benefit of short hair is that you can use your fingers to create a cool hair style! Just tousle your damp hair, then let it air dry. Protect your hair from heat damage by using rollers. Wrap your damp hair around soft rollers, then allow it to air dry for several hours or overnight (or sit under a hooded dryer). You may need to use a smaller roller in your hair if your hair is very short. Special styling tools called end papers can help you grip the end of short hair to wrap sections evenly around rollers. If you have to go out while you have rollers in your hair, wrap a pretty scarf around your head. A pillowcase can absorb moisture from your hair, and friction as you move your head across your pillow can cause your hair to break. Protect your hair by wrapping it in a silk scarf before you go to sleep. This will also help your hairstyle last longer. If you don't have a silk scarf, try buying a silk pillowcase.
