Creating a calendar of tasks to do daily allows us to visually interpret the work that we have to do. Make sure to block out the amount of time each task takes to complete and include things like regularly scheduled breaks.  Breaking down your project into 4 smaller parts helps you meet goals and time restrictions throughout the project.  You can use online calendars like Google calendar that will give you text and email reminders for important deadlines. Not knowing what you need to complete can waste time. Make sure to maintain a clear list of the tasks you need to complete in order to meet the deadlines for your project.  You can keep this list on a physical piece of paper, or an online document. When you’ve completed tasks on your list, make sure that you cross them off. Not being able to find critical documents wastes a lot of time and can be stressful. Organizing your documents and categorizing them will enable you to find important information quickly.  Save all emails in a folder that you can access later. If something goes wrong during the project or there is a dispute, you can refer back to old emails to verify your claims.

Enter your car’s information onto a website, such as Kelley Blue Book or Edmunds, to get an instant appraisal. Or, scour the local classified ads to see if there are other people selling cars similar to yours. Find a price point you're comfortable with, keeping in mind that the buyer might try to negotiate with you and you'll probably end up getting less than your asking price.  Private party sellers generally see the best results with a price that is rounded, such as $11,000. After you receive the online estimates, price your car between 97-102 percent of those figures. Give potential buyers more information regarding your openness to negotiations by stating “firm” or “best offer” in your ad. Provide as many details regarding your car’s condition, model, mileage, and extras as you can. The more details that you provide the fewer random buyer questions you will need to answer. Do your best to avoid cheesy phrases, such as “like new,” as they are just narrative dead weight. Read through your ad’s text a few times to check that it sounds approachable and interesting.  For example, if your car has a clean accident history, then point this out and state that a vehicle history report is available upon request. To draw in thrifty buyers, state if your car has exceptional gas mileage or other cost-saving features. Also, include a brief mention of any warranties that still cover the car. To establish trust with a potential buyer, briefly mention any mechanical issues that might need to be addressed. You could even list your car’s Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), so that interested parties can do some research on their own. Don’t take this too far and list everything that is wrong with your car. Just pick out one or two potential concerns to point out in your ad. It’s easier for a buyer to envision themselves in a car when they can actually see it. If you are posting online, add photos up until you reach the limit. If you are creating a flyer, choose one or two shots that show off your car’s best features. Include photos of both the interior and exterior, if possible. Get a bit creative and add in shots from a variety of angles. You can even include a video ad if the website will support it.

One-sentence summary -- Price it correctly. Write a specific ad. Be honest about any flaws or damage. Provide a minimum of ten photos.


Spread the rolled oats on a sheet tray and bake until golden brown, stirring regularly, about 10 minutes. Turn the oven down to 350 degrees F. Pour the oats into a large container and add the cumin, paprika, rosemary, thyme, cayenne and some salt and black pepper. As in most dishes, spices and herbs will be adjusted to fit quantities. Adjust the spices and seasonings to your liking. Add enough of the reserved stock to bind the mixture together. It should feel like a wet meatball but still be able to hold its shape when squeezed into a ball. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 2 hours to meld the flavors and allow the suet to disperse through the mixture. Or If using the stomach or sausage casing, remove it from the cold salted water and fill 2/3 with the mixture. Sew or tie the stomach or sausage casing closed. Use a turning fork to pierce the stomach or sausage casing several times. This will prevent the haggis from bursting. In a large pot of boiling water, gently place the filled stomach, being careful not to splash. Cook over high heat for 3 hours.

One-sentence summary -- Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F. Test the spice levels and seasonings. Add the ground mixture to the dry ingredients and combine thoroughly with your hands. Once the seasoning is correct, put the filling into an oven-proof dish that is big enough to take all the mixture.


Joining a new sport, hobby, or club can help you come out of your shell and get used to talking to people. Figure out something you'd be interested in and ask you parents if you can start doing it. Being in an atmosphere that forces you to talk to people will open you up and help you become less shy.  Join your school's football, soccer, wrestling, basketball, cheerleading, or chess team. Pick whatever interests you the most. If you're not sure what programs your school has, ask a teacher or someone who works in the office. There are also out-of-school programs like art classes, martial arts classes, dance classes, or religious study. Ask your parents for help with signing you up for classes or giving you a ride to practice. One reason that might make you shy and unable to talk to girls is that you're scared they won't like you back. You can reduce this by introducing yourself to more people. The more you get used to talking to people, seeing what they like, and realizing that people enjoy your company, the less you'll feel anxious meeting new ones.  If someone doesn't like you it doesn't mean that you're a bad person or that there's something wrong with you. It just means that their personality does not mesh well with yours. In life, you have to realize that everyone won't necessarily like you, just as you don't like everyone you meet. It's easy to automatically think that the girl you're going to ask out is going to say no, but it's not helpful to think this way. Instead of assuming that she will say no, believe in yourself. Think about your positive traits and be proud of the things that make you a unique person. Instead of telling yourself "I can't ask her out, I'm too scared" say "I can't ask her out right now, but I'm working on my confidence." The more you wait and think about introducing yourself or asking the girl out, the more you'll over-think the situation, and it could become awkward. Instead of coming up with a complex plan, just go for it. The best way to overcome your shyness and fears is to expose yourself to the situation.  You may feel sad and rejected the first time around, but it will lessen with each time you ask new girls out. The more you try, the more experience you'll get which will help you understand the best ways to ask out girls.
