Problem: Article: Having smaller, more manageable goals can increase your motivation and make it more likely that you'll stick with them. You'll also be able to track what's working and what's not. Reaching smaller deadlines will also give you a sense of accomplishment. If you find yourself feeling overwhelmed by large projects or goals, breaking them into smaller steps makes it less intimidating. Do you find yourself frequently getting excited about projects only to not finish them? Chances are, you've taken on too big of a project or started too quickly. Take your time and slow down. Try to take one step at a time and remind yourself that you are working towards your goal. For example, if you have a few large projects you'd like to accomplish, don't start them both at the same time. You may find yourself stressed for time or overwhelmed. Instead, choose one project to break into steps. Put your energy towards that project before starting the next. Measure your actions and achievements against your list of goals and the calendar. This is a great visual reminder of what you've already accomplished and how far you've come. You may also want to evaluate your goals and deadlines. If you're finding your goal schedule too demanding, consider breaking them up even further into more goals and sub-steps. You may need to put in more time every day or week, depending on your goals. Or, you may only need to meet a deadline or step every few months or years if it's a long-term goal. Decide in advance how much time you need to devote towards your goal and hold yourself accountable. For example, if you want to learn to play a certain song, you might give yourself a goal of playing an hour a day. After you've played the hour, track the time in a calendar, notebook, or tracker application on your phone. This will let you see not only what and how much you've done, but also when you did it or what was going on if you didn't do it. Give yourself some flexibility for things that may come up during the week. For example, if you want to put in an hour a day, but can't do it one particular day, simply hold yourself accountable for making it up. When you meet goals or deadlines, reinforce that successful behavior. There are two types of reinforcement, positive and negative. Both are rewards that should keep you motivated and dedicated to achieving your goals. With positive rewards, you add or earn something desirable. With negative rewards, you remove something unpleasant. For example, if you get a cookie every time you complete a task, you'll be more likely and willing to complete the task in the future. This is positive reinforcement. With negative reinforcement, if you don't have to do an unpleasant chore every time you complete a task, you'll also be willing and likely to do the task in the future. While punishments aren't as effective as rewards, it may hold you accountable for sticking to your goals. There are a few different ways to use punishment. With positive punishment, you add something unpleasant to prevent you from missing your deadlines or goals. With negative punishment, you remove something desirable. For example, if you didn't meet your goal of not eating dessert, you could punish yourself positively (by making yourself do 50 sit ups) or negatively (by not letting yourself watch your favorite television show). Set aside 15 to 20 minutes every day to write down your thoughts about your goals. Write down your ideas, concerns, and questions. Don't worry about punctuation, complete sentences, or grammar. Instead, write whatever you feel like. This can reduce stress and help you come up with solutions to your problems. Your journal is also useful for evaluating your goals. For example, maybe you're unsure why you have to accomplish a specific step or small project. If you refer to our journal, you might be able to remind yourself how that small project is needed to complete a larger goal. Simply let your friend know what you're trying to accomplish and why. Studies have shown the positive effects of accountability and public commitment in goal achievement. People who share a written list of goals and weekly progress reports with others accomplish more than those with unwritten goals. Letting a friend or several friends know about your goals is an especially good idea if the goal is social in nature. For example, if your goal is to smoke 5 fewer cigarettes a day, let your friends know, especially if you usually smoke together.
Summary: Set short term goals and deadlines. Take it one step at a time. Track your progress. Put in the time. Reward yourself through reinforcement. Implement consequences. Journal to reflect on your goals. Share your list of goals and objectives with a friend.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Aluminum reacts with rust chemically, resulting in a material that can be easily wiped or scrubbed off. Since aluminum is softer than most metals, it will not scratch the surface of the chrome or the metal underneath it. Before you attempt to remove the rust on the chrome, clean dirt and debris from the metal using soapy water, or with car wash soap if cleaning painted car parts. This helps you locate and access rusty areas more easily. For very dirty or very rusty surfaces, use vinegar or another mild acid suggested below, then follow up with foil. You can use any water, but saltwater is best, since the electrolytes and salts will help speed up the chemical process. Tear off strips of aluminum convenient to use on the rusted area. Rub the aluminum foil back and forth over the rust spots. You do not need to use much pressure, although heavily rusted areas may require slightly more effort and a longer rubbing time. Dip the aluminum foil in water again whenever it gets dry. If you are working on a severely pitted surface then try wadding up the piece of aluminum foil. The edges that this creates will help to smooth down the metal and will actually fill in the pitted rust areas. Whenever the rust residue gets too thick, stop and wipe the residue using a rag or towel. This way you can see the remaining rust and continue rubbing it with the aluminum foil. Once you have removed all the rust, wipe the surface using a rag to reveal the shiny metal underneath. Water spots show up very easily on chrome surfaces, and can cause further rust of the metal below. Use a paper towel or blow dryer to dry the surface. If necessary, consult the section on follow-up care to repair damage and prevent further rust. Be sure to apply a coat of polish or wax on your clean chrome to prevent more rust from forming.
Summary:
Use aluminum foil for an easy, low-cost method for removing rust from chrome. Clean the chrome. Dip aluminum foil into water. Rub the aluminum foil over the rust spots. Stop every so often to remove the rust residue. Rinse the surface of the chrome. Dry the chrome completely.
