INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Take stock of everything that you own, particularly vehicles, furniture, and heavy things that take up a lot of room. How much are these items worth? If it costs more to ship these possessions than to buy new ones, are you willing to let them go? This will give you a time stamped record of the condition of your possessions. If you choose to purchase insurance, be sure to get replacement cost only insurance. The other kind is literally based on the replacement cost of weight, not value.

SUMMARY: Take an inventory of your possessions. Take photographs to document everything of value.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: The biggest obstacle keeping you from stepping out of your comfort zone is fear, especially fear of failure. Instead of focusing on the possibility of failure, think of steps outside your comfort zone as opportunities. You may be right around the corner from changing your life for the better! Stepping out of your comfort zone can make you happier and more fulfilled. Keep those positive possibilities at the front of your mind to push out the fears. For example, you want to throw your name in the ring for a promotion that just came up at work, but you're terrified of not getting the job. Instead of focusing on that outcome, imagine what could happen if you get it! Some good self-talk can really help you step outside your comfortable box. Repeat encouraging, positive phrases to yourself. Use your name and the first person to make it more effective. You can say something like: "Jenna, I know you're scared, but you're going to try this anyway. Just think about how much fun you could have! You're strong and brave." You can even find a quiet spot or a private bathroom and talk to yourself out loud in the mirror. This can be especially helpful for helping you with that final push. You're in the plane, ready to jump out for your very first skydiving experience. Don't stop now! Take deep breaths and focus on filling your belly with nice, clean air. As you breathe in, picture yourself also taking in confidence. Once this confidence has filled you up, it's there to stay. Release your breath and your insecurities along with it. This can be a great daily exercise, or something you do right before you need an extra boost of confidence. For example, be sure to take a few deep breaths before you meet your blind date. Ask yourself, "what's the worst that could possibly happen?" Think about ways you could deal with those circumstances if they happened. Once you're prepared for the worst, you can only be happily surprised by something better! Avoid answering your question with crazy possibilities like: "I could die." If you do this, then follow it up by thinking through how unlikely that is. For example, you've been wanting to take a cross-country road trip, but all you can think about is getting stranded if you break down or run out of gas. You can make plans for this! Bring along an extra gas tank. You can even invest in a radio that can allow you to get in touch with emergency services if you're out of cell phone range.
Summary: Visualize challenges as chances to grow. Coach yourself through scary situations. Practice deep breathing to release stress. Picture the worst-case scenario to put your fear in perspective.

Q: Check the packaging of new devices or components first. If a Macbook has Bluetooth, there should be a Bluetooth icon on the menu bar. Alternatively, select "System Preferences" from the Apple menu. Under the section titled "View," there should be an option that will enable you to enable Bluetooth if the device has that capability. If you are already in the System Preferences folder (or the Bluetooth icon is not present on the menu bar), click on "View," and then "Bluetooth." In the Bluetooth menu, click on the box titled "On" to turn on Bluetooth. Then click on the box marked "Discoverable" to begin sending wireless signals from that device to any nearby wireless receiving devices or components. This will allow the devices and components to detect each other. You may need to restart the component you are trying to connect. Many components are only discoverable within the first few minutes after starting up. In the Bluetooth menu, select the component/device that you want to link to your computer. You may be required to utilize a passkey in order to pair two devices (such as a computer, phone, or tablet). A passkey is a temporary password created by a user. You will be asked to set a passkey when you attempt to link one device with another, and then you must enter the identical passkey on the second device to complete the pairing.
A: Check to see that the devices(s) and/or component are Bluetooth capable. Click on the Bluetooth icon on the menu bar. Make the devices and/or component discoverable. Pair the devices.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Upgrade old wire hangers by making padded clothes hangers. Measure the outline of the body of a wire hanger and cut two pieces of silky material slightly larger than that. Sew the two pieces together, leaving an opening at the top, and slide the hanger inside. Stuff the inside of the material with loose cotton or pieces of foam, and sew the opening shut. Use wire clippers to cut the bottom part of the hanger in half. Bend the two bottom halves of wire down to narrow the shape (approximately 3-4 inches, or 7-10 cm, apart). Twist each wire end upwards to meet the bottom of the hanger hook, and twist the ends into a circular shape to cover the sharp points. Place shoes, toe-side up, over each circular part of the hanger to hang them easily in your closet. Start with a finished piece of wood and attach 3 to 6 screws to the board, depending on its size and your preferences, halfway in and evenly spaced. Cut the same number of wire hooks from old coat hangers using wire cutters. Using pliers, twist the end of each hook around a screw until it is firmly attached. If you wish to paint or decorate the coat rack, do so before attaching the hooks to make things easier. Be sure to attach the coat rack firmly to the wall before hanging anything on it. You can reuse wire hangers without making any modifications to them by rethinking their purpose. By hanging a hanger off a bathroom door cabinet, for instance, you can make a simple magazine or newspaper holder. You can also hang up hangers on the wall to hold a collection of eyeglasses, scarves, ties, bras, or other accessories.

SUMMARY:
Sew padded clothes hangers. Make shoe hangers. Build a coat rack. Re-purpose hangers around the house.
