Q: You can do this in the subject line or inside the email. It's often best to let the person know in the subject line so that they know what to expect from the email. Make the subject, "Project Proposal Feedback - Great Start!" This will show the person that you are giving the feedback in a friendly rather than a critical tone. It will increase the likelihood that the receiver reads your words as constructive. Write a phrase like, "I hope you're having a great week!" Chances are, the person who is receiving the feedback has already put a lot of work into what you're evaluating. Mention this up front, letting them know that you recognize their efforts. You could say something like, "Thank you for the work you've put into this proposal so far. You've got a lot here." Telling the person what they are doing right first will soften the upcoming criticism. Be honest, but try to find something positive. You could focus either on the current task or on past work efforts. Say, "This is another strong proposal. You've put together a terrific set of objectives, and I can see a lot of development in your methodology." While it can be more efficient to list necessary changes, this can be difficult for the receiver to read and can make them feel discouraged. Instead, frame it as the changes you would make. You could write, "I would switch sections 1 and 2, and then expand section 3 to include a budget," or "I would cut the second paragraph but then add a review of ongoing projects to the end of the section." Tell the person where they are having issues, clarifying why it's a problem when necessary. If the criticism is due to a change in expectations or direction, tell them this, detailing why the change was made. Say something like, "We're making a company-wide shift to more detailed proposals, so we'll need to see some expansion in a few sections. I've outlined where we need more information." If your feedback concerns behaviors that the person is doing, always provide examples of what you mean. For example, if you are addressing unprofessional dress at client meetings, then you should give examples of what they have done wrong. You could say, "Last time we met with the client, you wore flip-flops, and the time before you wore a t-shirt. This type of casual dress doesn't convey the professional image we want to represent our company." Your feedback will likely not be helpful without ways they can fix the issues. Depending on the subject of the feedback, this could be anything from a list of specific fixes to a general checklist of things to target. You could provide examples of ways that they can fix the issues. This is a great option for when you have a specific fix in mind. You could say, "For your next presentation, stick to neutral colors and avoid using transitions. Since clients attend these meetings, you should also avoid using company-speak." Alternatively, you could ask them questions that will help them think of ways to fix them. This option is a great way to address issues that could have multiple acceptable solutions. For example, "What are some ways that you could improve documentation moving forward?" or "What changes do you plan to implement in your next presentation?" Some work issues can harm the organization, and the employee should be told this. Many times there are few consequences, but sometimes you may lose clients or provide less effective customer service due to the employee's shortcomings. Depending on the situation, there may also be consequences for the employee if changes aren't made. If there are issues, let the employee know. For example, tell them about concerns that your business could lose clients due to paperwork errors. Alternatively, let them know if they could be left off a new project if they don't improve their documentation efforts. This is a friendly way to end your email that lets the person know that you are in their corner. Additionally, it will make them feel comfortable asking for clarification if you presented something in a way they didn't understand. Write a phrase like, "Please let me know if you have any follow-up questions or need clarification about an issue."
A: Acknowledge your reason for sending the email. Open with a friendly remark. Acknowledge the work that the person has done. Give positive feedback first. Phrase negative feedback as advice. Explain your negative feedback. Specify how they can fix the issues. Remind them of any consequences that can occur. End with an offer to clarify and explain your feedback.

Q: After you treat your period symptoms, there are some other ways that you can improve your sleep hygiene. "Sleep hygiene" refers to habits and behaviors that contribute to a good night's sleep. Good ways to improve your sleep hygiene are: Using your bed only for bed activities, such as sleep and sexual activity, and avoiding watching TV and reading. Avoiding caffeine after noon. Eating only light, easily digestible food within 2 hours of going to bed, or avoiding food at bedtime all together. Sticking to relaxing activities instead of stimulating activities, such as exercise, in the evening. During your period, you may find yourself irritated or restless. Not properly unwinding or relaxing before bed can cause you to have insomnia, which is made worse by anxious feeling caused by your change in hormones. In the hour or 2 before bed, try to make yourself relax. Common ways to do this are: Doing something you love that's relaxing, such as reading a book, listening to music, or sitting outside. Trying relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing exercises. Performing progressive muscle relaxation, which is a technique where you tense then relax every muscle in your body in order calm yourself and sleep better. Using positive visualization, where you imagine your happy place in order to decrease anxiety and worry about the future. Taking a hot shower to release tension and relax your muscles, which can also help cramping and bloating. Having an uncomfortable bed or bedroom can cause insomnia, especially if you are already on edge from hormonal changes due to your period. Your body temperature may also increase due to these changes, so you might have to change your bedding during this time of the month. Make sure your comforter, blanket, and sheets are soft, comfortable, and provide enough heat or cool for you to sleep. This will vary depending on the time of year, temperature control in your room, and stage of your period, so try different configurations to see what is best for you. Try using a body pillow while you sleep to help with muscle pain. They help take tension off your muscles. This applies to your bed clothing as well. Wear breathable fabrics such as cotton or linen.
A: Practice proper sleep hygiene. Engage in relaxing activities before bed. Improve your sleep environment.

Q: Consider the overall theme with the project. Do you hope to display photos your child through the years or focus on a recent trip overseas? Know the photo theme and how it plays on the window style. Take the room into consideration. You may not want to hang intimate family portraits in the living room so consider the location destination. You may not want just straight photos but instead something with more of an edge. Try black and white photos for extra drama. Or you can add a splash of color on the black and white photos for a color pop. Use a computer photo program to change or enhance the photos. Try creating a watercolor look or a pencil drawing from your photos for your project. Alternate between color and black and white photos. Some photos in your window could be color whereas others could still be black and white-there are no hard and fast rules so tap into your creativity and have fun.
A:
Select your artwork/photos based on where you plan to hang the window and the window style. Determine if you plan to enhance the photos.
