Article: If the books and seriousness of the library put you in the mood for focusing on Trigonometry, go for it. If the comfy chairs and coffee at your local cafe are what you need to get through your reading for English, go there. The most important thing is that the location motivates you to study. Most people like a place that is neither too cold nor too warm. A study space shouldn't be loud. Some people prefer a place that is absolutely quiet, others like a little background noise. If you are often distracted by studying, choose a seat that faces a wall rather than a window, hallway, or other seats. Put a sign on your door that lets others know you're studying. This will keep them from distracting you. You can also message your friends, tell them when you're studying, and ask them not to disturb you during that time. Studies about whether or not music helps you focus when studying are mixed. If you feel like listening to music keeps you energized and focused on studying, you can use it. Keep a couple things in mind, however: The music should be fairly quiet. Choose music that has no words so you'll be less likely to become distracted. Consider listening to "white noise" tracks for background noise instead of music.

Article: Make a pile of clothes that you would only wear for the current season. Box up any off-season clothes and put them in storage elsewhere for smaller closets, or put them on the top shelf so they will be out of sight. Make sure that you store your clothes in airtight plastic containers, because cardboard boxes can harbor dust and bugs. Now that you are down to your favorite seasonal clothes, separate them into piles based on the occasion. For example, you don't want to mix your party dresses with your workout clothes. This will enable you to find the right outfit quickly and efficiently. Don't just throw your bags and shoes into the corner! Invest in a jewelry holder you can display in your room, designate a section to hang your bags, or put a coat hanger on the wall to hang hats and bulky coats. Mixing any kind of accessory will slowly turn your closet back into the black hole it once was.

Organize your remaining clothes by season. Sort your clothes by occasion. Keep your accessories separate.
Article: By keeping your yard engaging for your dog, you make it hard for him to want to leave in the first place. By keeping your yard secure, you make it hard for him to leave even if he wants to. Play with your dog often in your yard. If your dog strays to the edges of the property, call them back. By playing and learning the boundaries, he will be more inclined to stay close to home. Keep plenty of toys and play things in the yard. If your dog is outside for a long time, add food and water to prevent escapes based on a search for these things. Make any fence tall enough so that it cannot be jumped over. Also check that it runs deep enough so that your dog cannot dig underneath and escape. Work with your dog to teach them some basic commands. The most useful commands you might want your dog to learn are "come" or "sit". This will allow you to have your dog return directly or at stop to sit, if he escapes. If your dog suffers from anxiety when you leave him alone, punishing your dog will not help him relax. Try instead to help your dog overcome anxiety that is cause by your departure. Punishing and anxious dog will only help to increase fear. Conversely, do not reassure your dog when it is exhibiting anxious behavior, as this will reinforce the anxiety. It is best to simply ignore any unwanted, anxious behavior from your dog. Once your dog is free of the fence, any punishment will become associated with wherever he might find himself at that moment. Only discipline your dog if you catch them in the act of escape. Punishing after escape will not teach your dog that escape itself is wrong. Disciplining your dog after you catch him will only make him fearful of you. Catching him again will become more difficult as he may try to run away from you. If you are able to catch your dog as it tries to escape, you may take disciplinary action. You will have to be careful to discipline him in a way that he will associate only with the escape, not with you. Try taking and action that your dog won't associate with you. Spray your dog from a distance using super-soaker type water pistol so your dog won't see you coming. If your dog sees you as the cause behind the unpleasant disciplinary action, he will associate with you alone. Now your dog will simply wait for you to leave before going back to his escape plans.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Make your yard exciting. Teach your dog basic obedience. Don't punish fear or anxiety based escapes. Never discipline your dog after an escape. Catch your dog in the act.
