INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The best athletes know that training doesn't stop at sports skills. You want your body to be as sharp as it can be for whatever sport you're playing. On the downtime away from sports, keep your body in general shape by going to the gym. Although it may seem daunting or expensive, it is absolutely worth the investment if you want to be good at sports. There are lots of benefits to going to a gym. As you'll know from playing in sports teams, exercising with others is very motivating. Do some research into a prospective gym before you pay for a membership. Go for a tour, and ask for details. Make sure the gym fits the circumstances of your life before you make your first payment. This one should come as obvious, but you might be surprised how often proper sleep is glazed over. This is especially true during times of intense practice or training, where things get so busy it becomes hard to cram everything into a regular day. Nonetheless, your body needs its full rest. If you're a teen, you should sleep 8-10 hours each night. If you're an adult, get 7-9 hours of sleep each night. Everyone should make a point of eating a diet that benefits their body. This is especially true if you want to be great at sports. Eating junk food will work against whatever efforts you make in the gym. Base your diet on vegetables, leafy greens, legumes, lean proteins, and whole grains. Cut back on "empty calories" (like soda) and replace them with things that improve your health. If you're lactose intolerant, try going without dairy. It may sound hard, but you'll see benefits within a month. Water cannot be underestimated as part of a healthy diet. Staying hydrated will help you feel mentally and physically your best. Water regulates everything, and you should expect to lose some of your natural hydration via sweat while you exercise. The common "8 glasses a day" guideline isn't mandatory, but you should try to keep water next to you whenever you can. It's especially important to stock up on water while you're exercising. Keep a refillable bottle of water around with you. Refill it when it goes empty. You'll find your water consumption goes up a lot if you simply keep it near you. Drugs and alcohol aren't recommended if you want to be great at sports. Alcohol is a diuretic, which means it drains your body of hydration. Your body will expend resources trying to get rid of the alcohol, and it can have a negative impact on your sports performance for days after the fact. In the long run, the amount of calories you digest from alcohol like cider and beer can have a negative impact on your gut.

SUMMARY: Apply for a gym membership. Get enough sleep. Eat a healthy, well-balanced diet. Drink lots of water. Stay clear of intoxicants.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Avoid opening or looking at your script for at least a week after you write it. Work on another creative project or focus on other activities during this time so you aren't thinking about your script. When you revisit your script after a week, you'll be able to look at it with fresh eyes. Try starting another script while you wait if you want. Open your script and read it out loud straight through. Look for any areas in your script that don't fit with the rest of your story or that sound confusing. Write your notes by hand so you can remember them more clearly. Print out your script if you can so you can write on it directly if you want. Find a colleague or friend that will give you feedback on your script. Tell them to write down any areas where they get confused or lines of dialogue that didn't work for them. Let them read the script once or twice and ask them questions about whether the scenes make sense. Look for other writers so you can swap scripts and give each other feedback. Once you have feedback for your script, sit down and revise any areas that were problematic. Start working on larger problems first, like cutting and rearranging scenes, and work toward smaller errors, like spelling and grammar. Keep working on the script until you feel like it's finished. Start writing your second draft in a new document so you can get a fresh start. This way, you can copy and paste sections from the first draft and reorder them if you need to.
Summary: Take a week break from your script after you finish it. Read your script out loud to find any errors or confusing parts. Share your script with someone you trust to look over it. Rewrite any confusing parts until you're happy with the script.

Construct a temporary support frame out of 2-by-4s about 3ft (0.91m) back from the basement wall. Align the studs directly underneath the joists and screw the top plate to the joists. The frame will need to be at least as wide as the window, so that you will have 1 stud of the frame under each joist that runs above the window. Make it wider if you have the room so that there is added support. Use 6-mil plastic sheeting to confine dust within the area you will be cutting. Use a staple gun to secure it along the temporary frame and to the joists in the ceiling. Use a plastic sheet that is at least 89ft (2.42.7m) feet wide to tent a large enough area and keep all the dust confined there. Make slits in the sheeting so you can staple it between the joists and create an extra-tight seal. Use a 14in (36cm) concrete saw with a diamond blade. Make a first pass around the perimeter and only cut about 1412in (0.641.27cm) deep to create a straight groove that will guide your next, deeper cuts. You can rent a concrete saw. Renting a diamond blade is also recommended. Wear hearing and eye protection, a dust mask, and gloves when operating the saw. Make another pass around the perimeter of the window, cutting deeper, until you get approximately halfway through the wall all the way around the window. The groove you made will guide your cut so you can focus on applying pressure to cut deeper. Don't worry about whether the cut is exactly halfway through the wall. You will be completing the cut from the other side. Cut a straight groove around the outside of the window first. Make a second, deeper pass along the groove until you meet your cut from the inside. You can cover the area outside with a tarp where you will be cutting if you want to keep it clean.

One-sentence summary -- Build a support frame if the window will be perpendicular to the floor joists. Hang plastic sheeting along the frame to contain dust. Cut a groove around the inside perimeter of the window with a concrete saw. Cut halfway through the wall along the groove you created. Cut through the other side of the wall in the same manner.
