Q: Creating a work checklist or to-do list can help you stay on track at work. Limit how many items are on your to-do list so you don’t stress yourself out. Choose the three most important tasks you need to get done. These are big, important, and crucial tasks that must get done before you do anything else. Fill the rest of your checklist with minor tasks to accomplish if you finish your big tasks.  Write your checklist the night before and focus on that coming day only.  Be specific in your checklist, break down tasks into smaller chunks, and include time estimates. Look at your patterns on how you spend time and where you waste it. Do you find yourself clicking on Facebook a little too often? Or having too many chats with your coworkers in the break room? Figure out where you waste time so you can stop and be more effective at work. It can be hard to feel accomplished if you spent the entire day on one thing, and still have not finished it. Break up big projects into small successes to help you feel motivated and be more effective at work. If you worked on creating a budget for a company all day, think of it as all the small steps you did to create the budget. Maybe you contacted business owners, created spreadsheets, and calculated where money was being wasted, so you actually accomplished three tasks. Tell your mind and body that it is time to work by having a routine system. This might mean that every morning you start off the same way (such as you doing stretches, drinking coffee, and turning on a pump up playlist). Have designated times throughout the day where you are allowed to check your email, so you don’t waste time impulsively  checking it all day.
A: Make a checklist. Track where you waste time. Break up your projects into smaller tasks. Create a daily routine.

Q: Do not let stains sit on the carpet for a long period of time. Clean up stains right away so the stain doesn't absorb into the carpet fibers. Stains that sit on the carpet can also end up leaking into the bottom of the carpet, causing mildew and odor. If you know people are going to eat or drink around the carpet, have cleaning materials on hand in the event of spills and stains. If a liquid like blood gets on the carpet, use water to get the stain out. Wet a damp clean cloth and blot the stain out. Do not scrub or rub hard on the stain, as this can make it worse and damage the carpet. Once you have blotted away the blood, use clean paper towels to dry the area. Lay a hard object over the paper towels to soak up any remaining water. Another good spot cleaner is club soda. If someone spills a glass of wine or juice on your carpet, bust out the club soda. Pour a small amount on the stain and use a dry cloth to blot the area until the stain comes out. Do not scrub the stain, as this can ruin the fibers in the carpet. Only use a small amount of club soda at a time. Flooding the area with club soda or using too much of it can cause mildew to build up in the pad of the carpet. If pen ink gets on the carpet, try applying a small amount of milk and cornstarch to the stain. Mix a small amount of milk and cornstarch in a bowl to form a paste. Then, apply the paste to the stain. Use a dry toothbrush to gently brush the paste off the stain. The paste should pick up the ink stain and remove it. Make sure you vacuum up the scraped off paste. You should see a stain free carpet underneath.
A: Address stains immediately. Apply water to stains. Blot stains with club soda. Apply a milk and cornstarch paste.

Q: Click the Windows logo in the bottom-left corner of the screen, or press ⊞ Win. This will search for the Notepad application. It's the blue, notepad-shaped icon at the top of the Start window. If Notepad is blocked on your school computer, you'll instead need to perform this task on your own computer. This string of text will load the Command Prompt app when implemented. It's in the top-left corner of the screen. This is an option in the File drop-down menu. The ".bat" part of the name is crucial to creating a batch file. For example, if you name your file "cmd", you'd type in cmd.bat here. This will ensure that your file is saved as an executable file, not a text file. It's in the bottom-right corner of the window. If you're performing this step on your own computer, plug a flash drive into your computer and select it as a save location before clicking Save. Doing so should open Command Prompt if your computer allows batch files to be run.  If you can't run the program on your school computer, plug your flash drive into the computer and then double-click the batch file. If Command Prompt opens but won't allow you to type, it's administrator-locked, meaning you won't be able to use Command Prompt on your current account. Try using an installation drive instead.
A: Open Start . Type notepad into Start. Click Notepad. Type cmd.exe into Notepad. Click File. Click Save As…. Enter a name for your file, followed by .bat. Click the box next to "Save as type", then click All Files. Click Save. Double-click the batch file.

Q: You can give your buttercream a more interesting flavor by adding some extract, flavoring oil, or milk. Keep in mind that flavoring oils have a much more intense flavor than extracts, so you won't need as much. Here are some suggestions:  1 teaspoon of an extract, such as: almond, lemon, peppermint, or vanilla A few drops of a flavoring oil, such as: butterscotch, lemon, orange, or raspberry Simply add the ingredients to the powdered sugar and mix well. Here are some suggestions:  1 to 2 teaspoons of a spice, such as apple pie, cinnamon, or pumpkin pie, will give you a more aromatic buttercream, perfect for those fall and holiday treats. 1 tablespoon instant coffee mixed with 2 tablespoons of water will give you coffee-flavored buttercream. You can also add in a pinch of cocoa powder for a mocha-flavored buttercream. Substitute ½ cup (50 grams) of the sugar for cocoa powder. This will give you chocolate-flavored buttercream. Instead of using whipping cream, milk, or half-and-half, you can use 1 to 2 tablespoons of another liquid instead, such as fruit juice. Here are some more options:  Orange juice Lemon juice Strongly-brewed coffee Liquor, such as Bailey's, Kahlua , brandy, or rum Use 1 to 2 tablespoons of lemon or orange juice instead of whipping cream, milk, or half-and-half. Once you have finished making the buttercream, stir in ½ teaspoon of lemon or orange zest. Add up to 1/3 cup (110 grams) of your favorite jam into the butter and beat it until it is smooth. Mix in the powdered sugar and whipping cream, milk, or half-and-half as usual. Keep in mind that the jam will alter the color of the frosting. You can use any type of jam you want, but raspberry or strawberry jams will give you more traditional results.
A:
Use extract or flavoring oil to add some flavor. Add some ground spices, instant coffee, or cocoa powder for extra flavor. Substitute the whipping cream for another liquid. Make a citrus-flavored buttercream. Use jams to flavor the buttercream. Finished.
