Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Skip the shower. Don't waste time with makeup. Do your hair the night before. Drink cold water instead of coffee. Don't check your social media. Pick clothes that don't take a long time to put on.

Answer: Showering in the morning can be a huge time waster. If you're waking up late you should get in the habit of taking showers or baths the night before. It's hard to keep track of time in the shower, so what feels like five minutes could be longer. A good alternative to taking a shower is to splash cold water on your face. Cold water increases your alertness and will wake you up in the morning. Make sure that you apply underarm deodorant and wear cologne or perfume so you can still smell fresh. We all want to look good in the morning, but you can do your makeup when you get to wherever you need to go. Don't risk being late when a quick trip to the bathroom could save you precious minutes! Avoid doing your makeup in the car while you drive. It's dangerous and could cause an accident. Have a separate handbag for on-the-go makeup supplies so that when you need to rush you have all of the essentials available to you. If you take a shower the night before, allow your hair to fully dry before laying down for bed to avoid having frizzy hair in the morning. By tending to your hair the night before, you don't have to waste time doing it in the morning, which can take up most of your time. To achieve straight hair in the morning, pull your hair back behind your ears and wrap it around your head in one direction, securing it with bobby pins. Then wrap a silk scarf around your head tightly. For curly hair, either use a foam styling donut, or tie your hair into two doughnut buns on either side with bobby pins. While some people prefer a caffeinated beverage in the morning, a tall glass of cold water is a healthy alternative that doesn't require any brewing time. Other than raising your alertness, it's also a good way to get hydrated in the morning. Another good thing about drinking water is that you won't need to brush your teeth after drinking it. When we check any messages that we receive, it's natural that we want to respond immediately. To maximize your time, refrain from checking your social media until you get to your destination. Turn off cell phone notifications for your social media if you find that they are distracting you. Knee high boots with elaborate laces aren't exactly the most time efficient thing to lace up in the morning. If you know you are going to wake up late, choose clothing that will aid you in getting out of the house faster. Instead of boots, consider slip-ons as they take far less time to put on. Blouses with buttons on the back or jewelry with intricate clasps will slow down your morning tremendously. Try to avoid clothes and accessories that have these.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Microwave the cauliflower for 3 to 4 minutes. Leave the cauliflower in the microwave for 1 minute before you take it out. Drain water from the bowl.

Answer: If you like your cauliflower to have a little bite, cook it for 3 minutes. If you know you like cauliflower to be completely soft, microwave it for 4 minutes. Microwave the cauliflower on full power. The cauliflower will continue to cook as it rests. After 1 minute, wear oven mitts to remove the hot bowl and carefully lift the lid or covering off. Insert a fork into a floret to see if it's as tender as you want. The steam in the bowl is very hot, so lift the lid away from your face. If the cauliflower isn't as soft as you want, cover the bowl and return it to the microwave. Heat the cauliflower for 1 minute and check it again. There might be a little water left in the bottom of the bowl. If there is, carefully pour the cauliflower into a fine-mesh strainer over a sink so the water drains.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Repeat row 2 until your project is the desired length. Tie off the final stitch when you are done. Weave in the tail.

Answer: To continue working the moss stitch, keep repeating the sequence for row 2. You can continue to work the moss stitch for as many rows as you want or need to for your project. When you are happy with the length of your project and finish the last stitch in your last row, simply chain 1 and tie off the final stitch. To do this pull, out the loop so that it is several inches wide. Then, cut it in the center. Tie the end of the yarn through the last stitch you made and cut the excess. If desired, you can also weave the tail into the edge of your work using a yarn needle. Thread the tail through the eye of the yarn needle and then weave the yarn in and out of the edge of your project. Tie the end of the tail through one of the stitches and cut the excess when the yarn gets too short to weave it through any more.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Write a business plan. Research requirements for permits, licensing, and insurance. Consider startup costs. Select your business name. Market your decorating business. Network with other professionals.

Answer:
Similar to starting any business, starting a home decorating business involves creating a solid business plan. Your business plan should include information such as the budget for your business, the type of clients you wish to have, and the medium you will use to reach your clients. Decide whether you will be a product-driven decorator or will be a consultant who does not sell products. There is room for both types of decorators in the industry. Remember to consider how and from where you will purchase your inventory, and don't forget to include costs such as insurance and vehicle maintenance. You may need to consult with several specialists for help in this area, as requirements vary by state, county and municipality. Make sure you have the appropriate business license before decorating any homes on commission. The Department of State can provide you with the business licensing and permit requirements for you to start a business in different states. Keep in mind that these requirements may vary widely based on state. Consult an insurance agent to help you find the proper coverage to protect your personal assets from business liabilities. Talk to a tax professional to learn how to ensure that your company is paying the correct amount of taxes. See an attorney or consult the Department of State (for your state) for guidance in incorporating your company. Startup costs for decorating businesses are often relatively low and you likely won't need a big budget to begin.Two must-haves are a good computer and reliable transportation that is also in good condition. Your basic startup costs will include the purchase of sample books, business cards, software, and promotional tools (such as brochures or any advertising you might like to do). You'll likely need to prepare a certain amount of working capital to start your decorating business. Unless you plan to work from a home office, you'll need to pay rent for an office space, electricity and internet access. You may need to pay for parking space for yourself and your future clients. A good business name will be something that is evocative, professional, and memorable. Thinking about choosing a name that is imaginative to show your clients your creative side. However, it's probably best to avoid a name that's too "cute" or trendy. Your business name should provide insight into the kind of professional work your interior decorating company will provide. Give your company name a lot of thought. Selecting a business name is one of the most important steps in planning your business. Don't underestimate the power of your name. Some of the best names for businesses are simply a combination of your name and what you do; for example, "Jake Collins Decorating". Advertising can follow many different paths. You may want to start spreading word of your business by word of mouth; to do this, you should speak with as many members of your community as possible. Let them know about your business and encourage them to contact you with any potential inquiries. Make sure you attend any markets or trade shows where people might be going to look for goods for their homes, and discuss your availability as an interior decorator. Once your business is official, you can start advertising in newspapers, on radio, or on television. This is a great way to spread information about your business without depending on word of mouth alone. You will reach a much larger audience this way. A great way to advertise your decorating business is by starting a website. You should fill this website with as many pictures as possible of your home designs and decorations. Other decorators and designers, as well as architects and real estate agents, may be able to offer you referrals. If there is any sort of builders or decorators guild in your area, join it to start connecting with other professionals in your line of work. Using social media is a great way to network with other professionals, and to promote your business. Keep an active blog so that people can see what you're doing in a day-to-day manner. Using your online presence to promote other people's work encourages them to promote your work as well.
