Setting small daily goals helps you stay on task, work more efficiently, and gain energy as you go through your working day. Getting little tasks out of the way, like grocery shopping or running errands, can help you focus on larger tasks that need to be accomplished later in the day. If you have long-term objectives or big projects, break them down into smaller goals that you can make progress on and tackle in a series of small steps or stages. This will help you feel like you're getting work done, which will encourage you to keep going. Prioritizing tasks is not quite the same as making a to-do list. Rather, you are categorizing to-do items and prioritizing those that are small and manageable or most pressing and important. Set up a chronological list of when things need to be accomplished by and start with the most pressing items first. Once these are off your plate, you can take a breather and focus on the one's that are due later. After you've mastered the daily short-term plan, you can start creating long-term plans to organize your future work and tasks. Knowing what you need to accomplish ahead of time -- whether it's a big term paper at the end of the semester, or an international conference trip -- can help you stay on top of your preparations. Make a monthly calendar for yourself, or create a calendar for your entire school semester term. Note any big deadlines or due dates and pencil in some reminders a week or so before the actual deadline. This will help you work more efficiently and get your big tasks done in easier increments. This type of advanced planning will also help you schedule leisure actives, breaks, and vacations. If you know when things are going to be due, you can more easily plan around them and make sure you have enough time to get things done as well as thoroughly enjoy your break time. Many of us procrastinate or put things off (especially things we don't like) which can negatively impact our productivity as well as overall work quality. Don't fall into the faulty misconception that "one does their best work under pressure." Psychological studies have shown this to largely be untrue! Procrastinators who wait until the last minute often get less done and produce work with more errors. Give yourself a carrot at the end of the stick: plan a celebration or treat for yourself when you complete your task on time or even early. If you have something fun to look forward to you'll give yourself extra motivation to get your work done.

Q: Get a clear coat nail polish. Apply a single coat of polish to your skin tag at least twice a day. Make sure that the entire tag is coated each time. Over time your tag may start to break away from the skin. Cut out a small square of duct tape around 1" in diameter. Place this square right on top of your skin tag. Leaving the tape on may gradually dry the tag out until it falls off. You can replace with fresh tape each day. This method supposedly works within 10 days. You can use fishing line, dental floss, or a thin cotton string in this method. Tie the string around the base of your skin tag. Tighten the tie until it is firm, but not painful. Snip off the excess and leave the string in place. Your skin tag should fall off due to lack of circulation. This is a version of what doctors can perform in their office using sterile tools. Don't be surprised if your skin tag changes colors with this method. That is normal and reflects the lack of blood supply. Be careful when using this method. Make sure to only cut off the blood supply to the skin tag itself, not the skin around it. If you experience any pain, stop this method and consult with your doctor. Most doctors do not recommend attempting this method unsupervised as it may lead to additional complications. Removing a skin tag in this way can expose you to the possibility of a serious infection. Bleeding can pose a problem as well. Even small skin tags can bleed quite a bit requiring professional medical attention. You can also scar and leave the exposed skin discolored. There are a variety of OTC medicines that claim to remove skin tags with only one or two applications. Dr. Scholl's Freeze Away, while indicated for use on warts, may encourage the skin tag to fall away by applying cold directly to the tag. Make sure you follow the box directions carefully as you can potentially damage the skin around the tag perhaps even causing scarring and discoloration.
A: Cover it with nail polish. Dry it out with duct tape. Tie it off. Don't cut it off at home. Experiment with over-the-counter treatments.

Article: Poor eyesight is typically genetic. So if both of your parents wear glasses, it is reasonable to assume you'll need them eventually too. Keep this in mind as you consider whether or not you need glasses. Ask your family members how old they were when they first started wearing glasses. Think about whether or not your vision seems to have changed over the years. Do you have more trouble viewing specific things than you did in the past? This is a sign that you need glasses. Specifically consider whether you have trouble viewing things that are far away or that are up close, as these are the two biggest problems with eyesight that people typically have. The ultimate way to determine whether or not you need glasses is to get an official eye examination from a licensed optometrist. They will perform tests on your vision and on your eyes in general to determine if glasses are a necessity for you. An optometrist, in addition to whether or not you need glasses, will also be able to tell you if there are any medical problems with your eyes.
