Article: If you find yourself caving to others’ demands on a regular basis, you may need to learn the art of boundary-setting. Boundaries are consequential to leading a healthy life with reduced stress, and they also are the foundation of healthy relationships.  Think about what you want and whether your life circumstances are aligning with that. Listen to your thoughts regarding your relationships or work demands. Do you feel like you have too much responsibility? Do you find that others don't respect your need for personal space? Now, notice your feelings. Do you feel frustrated? Angry? Ignored? Use this information to guide on the types of boundaries you need to set. Identify your limits. Recognize the actions and behaviors of those around you that make you uncomfortable or overwhelmed. Communicate and enforce your limits. Let those around you know when they are violating your personal space or crossing a boundary. For example, if you asked your parents to give you advanced notice before visiting, point this out when they show up unannounced. Say, "Mom? Dad? I like when you all come over to visit, but it would help me out if you could call first just so I have time to prepare. Can you do that for me?" If you must take part in an activity or event that drains you, follow steps to prepare yourself mentally and physically. When you do this, you decrease the odds of you having a stress meltdown, and build better coping mechanisms for difficult situations. For instance, if you are invited to a social gathering, ask if an understanding friend can join you there to keep you calm. Do deep breathing exercises in the days leading up to the event. Visit the location beforehand to feel comfortable with the environment. Introverts may feel stressed out when they have to constantly switch back and forth between dissimilar tasks. You may lose focus and require a great deal of time to return to full productivity. To minimize this issue, batch together similar tasks so that you don’t have to adjust to new demands. For example, if the dishes need washing, the mail needs sorting, the bills need paying, and the carpet needs vacuuming, put the paperwork tasks together and the cleaning tasks together. This allows you to boost productivity and increase your focus on the tasks at hand.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Set and enforce personal boundaries with others. Prepare in advance for activities that deplete your energy. Practice batching work tasks and personal chores.

Problem: Article: Place 1 to 2 feet (0.30 to 0.61 m) of twine on a table. Lay the stems of your bouquet on top of the twine. Wrap the middle of the stems tightly with the twine 7 to 10 times, or until secure. Double or triple the knot.  If you need to protect your work surface, cover the table with sheets of newspaper. Make sure to leave enough twine free so you can hang your bouquet upside down. Tie the loose ends of the twine around the bottom of a wire hanger. Double or tripe the knot to secure the flowers to the hanger. Your bouquet should be hanging upside down from the hanger. If your bouquet is particularly heavy, then use a plastic hanger instead. Hang the bouquet in a hallway or bedroom closet. Let the flowers dry upside down for 2 to 3 weeks. Once the flowers are completely dry, remove them from the closet. Use scissors to cut the twine free from the bouquet. Place the bouquet in a vase of your choice. Flowers that are completely dry look stiff and crispy, and they are brittle to the touch. Measure the length and circumference of your bouquet with a measuring tape so you can buy a case that is an appropriate size. Place your bouquet in a glass dome, or in a rectangular or square display case to further preserve it. Set the case on a shelf or on a pedestal in your living or dining room. You can purchase glass cases from your local crafts store, or online.
Summary: Use jute twine to tie the stems together. Fasten the twine to a hanger. Hang the bouquet in a dry, temperate area for 2 weeks. Place the bouquet in a vase. Enclose the bouquet in a glass case.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Read insecticide product labels carefull to make sure you aren’t purchasing a product that is harmful to members of your family, such as dogs, cats or children.

Make sure to read the ingredient label to ensure that the shampoo contains an insecticide. You’ll want to boil the water and then add it to a spray bottle with the insecticide. Then, spray the solution on the infested area. Allow it to sit for several minutes and soak the area. You can use two-parts water for every one-part insecticide. You can use a broom and a dustbin or paper towels to collect the dead maggots. Put them in a sealed ziplock bag. Dispose of the maggots and the used towels in an outdoor garbage can or dumpster. You could mop it with warm water and vinegar. Make sure that you dry the surface thoroughly after disinfecting in order to prevent moisture from building up and attracting flies.

SUMMARY: Purchase a non-toxic insecticide. Mix the pet shampoo with warm water in a spray bottle. Collect the dead maggots. Sanitize the area with an ani-bacterial product.

Don’t try to dodge the issue if you cheated and your teacher caught you because it likely will not prevent you from getting into trouble. Instead, explain why you cheated. Be clear about why you made that choice. For example, if you didn't have time to study or couldn't grasp the material, be straightforward about it. You can say something like, "I made the choice to cheat because I didn't have time to study, which was in error. Next time, I will give myself more time to properly prepare." Be clear about which assignment or test you cheated on. If it was just on one assignment, you will want to clarify that you did not cheat on other assignments. Be aware that your teacher will probably want to review your previous work or keep a closer eye on your future work to make sure cheating is truly a one-time incident. If you cheated because you were struggling in the class, tell the teacher you need some additional help in the subject. Be specific about which elements of the course material you don't understand. They may be able to recommend a tutor or some additional resources. You could say: "I am not sure I understand how to measure the surface area. This was one of the reasons why I cheated on the test. Do you know of any tutors who might be able to help me understand this topic?" If you received a failing grade for cheating on a test or assignment, ask for a makeup assignment or extra credit work to start salvaging your grade. Your teacher might be able to give you a make-up assignment or have you do more problems than other students so that you can catch up. Being apologetic may lessen the consequences and punishment from cheating, but you will need to be genuine. You will need to take personal responsibility to move on from the incident. Tell your teacher the cheating was out of character for you and not something you intend to do again in the future. Although you will still likely be punished for cheating or plagiarizing, being remorseful can help minimize the lasting effects to your academic reputation. You could say: "I am very sorry that I cheated on last week's test. I understand that this was a wrongdoing and that my actions have consequences that I will need to face. At the same time I also want to reassure you that this was a one-time incident and it will not happen again."
