Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Choose a good time. Tell your family that you're quitting. Let everyone at work know. Keep pain relievers handy. Eat a high protein diet. Avoid triggers. Nap when you need to.

Answer: You probably don't want to quit right before finals or when you've got a big deadline coming up. Find a time when you can have a full week without extra responsibilities. Mark your calendar so that you stay accountable to yourself. If you are always busy and can't find a low-stress week, you may need to wean yourself off, instead of quitting cold turkey. Vacation can be a great time to quit coffee. You'll be away from your routines and have time to rest. Let them know you may be a bit sluggish for a few days. Some people become a little absent-minded or grouchy when they first quit drinking coffee. If they know you're in the process of detoxing, they won't take it personally. If other people in your household drink coffee, ask if they can avoid making or drinking it around you. Your family can help you stay on track. Ask for their support. Tell them that if your resolve weakens, they should encourage you to stay away from coffee. You don't want your coworkers to think you've suddenly lost your work ethic, but you may be moving slowly for a few days. Tell your coworkers (and even your boss) that you're in the process of quitting coffee. They'll likely understand and be sympathetic. If your workplace offers free coffee throughout the day (for example, if you work in a restaurant or a busy office) let your coworkers know that you'll be avoiding it. Bring something with you to replace coffee you would otherwise be drinking. Seltzer water or lemon water is great to sip on throughout the day and keeps you hydrated. Caffeine withdrawal often causes headaches for anywhere from one to three days. Take pain relievers as needed to get through the headaches. Make sure to drink plenty of water with them as well. Always check the labels of pain relievers. Some contain caffeine, which won't help you in your plan to quit coffee! Protein provides a gentle energy boost throughout the day. Meals high in carbohydrates can make you sleepy. When carbs lower your energy level, you'll be tempted to reach for the coffee as a pick-me-up. Avoid the temptation by avoiding meals high in carbohydrates. Meats, dairy and legumes are excellent sources of protein. Carbohydrate-heavy foods include processed grains like white flour and white rice. Sugary foods will cause the same energy crash. You likely have specific times you are used to having coffee. It may be with breakfast or as a ritual before getting some late-night work done. You may associate certain situations with coffee. Perhaps you always have coffee when you spend time with a certain friend, or when you attend a morning meeting. It may not be possible to avoid all triggers. If you know you'll encounter a trigger, plan ahead. Bring some tea or lemon water to your morning meeting. Take your friend to a cafe where you can get something other than coffee. Of course, it's not always possible to nap in the middle of the day. However, you may feel the urge to nap in the first few days of quitting. If you can squeeze in a 20-minute nap, go for it! Try quitting right before the weekend. That way, you'll have two days that you can nap before you have to return to a full workday.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Define easy, moderate and difficult tasks. Ask your husband to review your list and find the chores that he wouldn't mind taking on. Recognize and learn from each other's strengths. Switch things up. Recognize and encourage your husband's efforts.

Answer: Rate each task by considering how time-consuming it is, how strenuous, and how often it must be performed. For example, washing the floors may be a moderately difficult task, what with mopping, sweeping, waxing, etc. When writing up the list, consider items that could make cleaning easier. For example, can you upgrade the vacuum cleaner or get better detergent? These can be excellent tasks to assign to your husband. Making him feel that he has bought the items can give him a greater sense of pride in using them to prove that they're doing the job better than the old items! Encourage him to choose some simple tasks, as well as some more complex ones, so that the housework load is evenly distributed. If he doesn't have the experience or knowledge to do some of the harder tasks, talk about when you can teach him how to do those things. Part of your conversation when splitting up the chores might be to talk about what you are each good at. Some chores might be easier or less stressful for one of you depending on your skill set and temperament. This is also a good opportunity to talk about how you can learn from each other so that in the future you will both feel more confident taking on any chores that come up throughout the week. Make your own lists of chores you feel like you are good at and compare notes. Make a list of chores you really dislike doing and that you are hoping your partner can take on. Problem solve together. If there are chores you both don't like, work together to come up with strategies to complete them more easily. Maybe these are chores you decide to get done together. Spend some time teaching each other how you do certain chores. If your husband has a particular way he likes to do the dishes that is different from you way, ask him to show you. Take on the role of student and be willing to see the benefits of doing something a different way. Switch roles for chores you feel confident in. Ask your husband to just listen and participate before asking questions or making other suggestions. Be willing to listen. Don't interrupt your partner when they are showing you their way of doing things. Keep an open mind. Ask your husband to do the same for you. Part of the reason no one likes to do chores is because they can be so dull and boring. If there is a particular chore you both don't like doing try alternating days or weeks with that chore. For example, this week you do the dishes and he does the laundry and next week you switch. This will increase your sense of sharing the responsibilities while also breaking up some of the monotony that comes with doing the same chores everyday. Trust that your husband is doing the chores the best way he knows how. Be open to the fact that even though he may have a different way of doing them he can still be effective. If there are chores that you need or want done a very specific way, consider doing those yourself.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Determine the type of tree you want to grow. Gather olives. Place the olives in a bucket. Drain the water. Cut the ends of the pits.

Answer:
There are literally hundreds of olive tree varieties around the world. Some are similar with only slight differences in olive color and flavor. Others are extremely different and have growing preferences which impact the ripening time. For example, the four main types in California are: Mission, Manzanillo, Sevillano and Ascolano. Even though these are grown in the same state, the diverse climate, coupled with a particular olive strand, yields a range of results. Significantly research your location to determine which type of olive will prosper. Growing from seed, you will get more of a wild variety than any of the parent trees it came from. This may sound easy, but the fruit must be picked directly from the tree so the seed remains alive. Olive trees prosper in climate zones 8-11. These areas have a subtropical climate and mild winters. Pick them in early autumn, after the fruits ripen and are green. Leave the black ones. Don't pick any off the ground and make sure the ones you choose don't have any holes from insects. Using olives purchased from a grocery store will not work. These have been processed for consumption which means they've been cooked. This process kills the seed inside the pit, so they are no longer viable. Raw olives from the produce section may be viable, though. If you don't have access to an olive tree, many large orchards will ship pits/seeds directly to you. Once you have the olives, gently smash the flesh with a hammer to loosen the fruit around the pit. Cover the crushed olives with warm water and soak them overnight. Stir the water every few hours or so. Jostling them will encourage the fruit to loosen further. If a hammer isn't available, use a wide knife and smash with the flat side. If you notice a few floating to the surface, gather these and discard. They are likely rotten. Gather the pits and use a scour pad to rub the excess skin off. This is the same pad you probably use on pots and pans. After you've rubbed the skin, thoroughly rinse the pits in warm water for several minutes. If a scour pad is not available, try sandpaper. There is a blunt end and a pointy end on every olive pit. With a knife, nick the blunt end. Do not break through the hull completely or the seed will be useless. Instead, create a tiny hole about the size of a pen tip. Soak these for 24 hours in room temperature water.
