article: The only general rule to oiling your hair is that you should comb through it to prevent tangling and messy oil application. Beyond that, there's debate over whether hair should be clean when oiled. Some swear that oiling works better when the hair is already a little bit oily and dirty say two or three days after your last shampooing. Others insist that oiling works best soon after you've shampooed your hair when it's clean and bare. Try it both ways to decide what you prefer. Especially if you're new to oiling your hair, there's a good chance you're going to make a mess. Spread old towels or paper towels around the area where you're going to work. This includes table surfaces and floors. Have an extra hand rag available for spot-cleaning drippy messes. If you're going to sleep with oil in your hair, protect your pillows with plastic pillowcase coverings.

article: Every cell phone is equipped with an electronic serial number. Depending on the type and model of cell phone you use, your phone's unique number may be called an IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity), MEID (Mobile Equipment Identifier), or ESN (Electronic Serial Number). It's often located on a sticker under the battery, though its location will vary depending on your phone. Find your cell phone's serial/identification number when you first purchase it. Write the number down and keep it in a safe place at home. If you ever lose your phone, you can report your serial/identification number to the police and to your wireless provider. Some online services, such as MissingPhones.org, allow you to register your cell phone with the website. This can help you in the future, should your phone become lost or stolen down the line. In order to register your phone, you'll need the serial number from your device. If you're prone to losing things, you may want to work on reducing the frequency of those losses, no matter what the item may be. Try getting into a habit of leaving things in particular places, which can help you know where to look next time. If you tend to lose your phone at home, try to keep it on a nightstand or coffee table whenever it's not on your person. When your phone is on your person, give it a designated pocket and always check that you have everything when you get up to leave. For example, you might tap your pockets to confirm in a particular order that you've got your keys, wallet, and cell phone. There are certain precautions you can take to assist your efforts in the future, should you lose or misplace your phone again. You can register your phone for a GPS tracking service, either through your wireless provider or through an independent service like AccuTracking or Belon.gs. You can also keep a written record of your phone's serial/identification number in your wallet or at home.

There are a variety of ways to do this. Try keeping a log or journal for several days. Or make a chart or graph illustrating how your time is spent. Be sure to keep track of everything that's taking up your time: sleep, work, eating, chores, school, etc. Be honest with yourself here. This will show you how best to manage your time, especially if you find yourself upset at spending so much time in one area of your life. Now that you know where your time is going, how would you like it to be spent? Mainly, what do you want to change about your current routine? If you noticed any wasted time, start by making a goal to address it. For example, if you found yourself spending several hours responding to pointless emails, taking extra breaks, or waiting for things, make it a goal to rescue that wasted time. This doesn't have to be incredibly detailed. Just rank your goals in the order in which you'd like to complete them. Try to put at least 30 percent of your weekly time towards accomplishing a goal. Re-evaluate your goals periodically. You may find after accomplishing some tasks that your priorities have shifted. Don't be afraid to alter your goals or plans. Give yourself a manageable range of time and make a list of the goals you must accomplish. Keep a separate list of things you'd like to get done. Then, look at your week and assign tasks for each day that get you closer to achieving your goals. Remember to include time for family, relaxation, or personal time. While you don't need to detail what you'll be doing, you should be sure to block out the time. Don't allow your schedule to fill up with things that don't get you closer to your goals or that don't make you happy. If something seems like a waste of your time, try to cut it short or get out of it. Likewise, don't feel like you have to accomplish everything yourself or it won't be done correctly. You'll most likely need to learn how to trust and let go in order to accomplish your tasks.
