In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Turn the oven on to 350 °F (177 °C). Grease and flour one 8-inch square pan and one 8-inch round baking pan by rubbing about a teaspoon of butter all over the bottom and sides of each pan. Add a tablespoon of flour and gently tilt the pan, so the flour covers the surface. Shake the excess flour out of the pans and throw it away. If you don't want to butter and flour the pans, you can also spray the molds with non-stick cooking spray. Combine the cocoa, flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt into the bowl of a mixer. Try to evenly distribute the batter between both pans. Check to see if the cakes are done by inserting a toothpick or cake tester into the center of each cake. The toothpick or tester should come out clean. If the tester comes out with batter attached, return the cake to the oven for a few more minutes. Repeat testing until the tester comes out clean. Let them cool in the pans for about 15 minutes. Then, flip them out onto a wire rack and let them cool completely before cutting and frosting. Remove both cakes from the pans. Using a sharp knife, cut the round cake in half. The pieces will have one straight side and one rounded side.
Summary: Preheat your oven. Prepare your baking pans. Whisk together dry ingredients. Pour your batter into the cake molds. Bake cakes for about 35 minutes. Remove the cakes from the oven and cool. Cut the cake.

When you’re dealing with depression, sometimes it can be hard just to take care of yourself. However, in order to feel better, you’ll have to practice healthy habits even when you don’t feel like it. Tracking your sleep habits can help you make sure that you’re getting the right amount of rest. The right amount of sleep can help ease symptoms of depression.  Try to make a point of going to bed at the same time each night and waking up at roughly the same time each morning. Write down the time you go to sleep and wake up each day. If you find yourself sleeping in or feeling like you can’t get out of bed, take a look at what happened the day before. You might see a pattern of certain activities causing you to feel drained. It’s not a given that changing your eating habits will help your depression.  However, certain foods can help ease some of your symptoms. And eating healthy foods can help you feel better overall.  Certain carbs can help calm you down. Go for “smart” carbs such as whole grains and sweet potatoes. Avoid foods such as cakes and fruit juices. Look for healthy proteins. Good proteins can actually increase alertness, which can make you feel better. Try lean meats such as chicken, fish, and Greek yogurt. When you’re dealing with depression, it can be difficult to handle household chores. Write down what needs to be done, and then write down when you will do it. Sticking to your schedule can help you feel more productive and less overwhelmed. For example, you might write: “Monday--dust living room” or “Tuesday--do laundry”. Even though it might feel like a challenge, take the time to keep up your hygiene. Take a shower and brush your teeth everyday. Make sure to keep your hair clean, your nails clipped, and use deodorant.

Q: If your friends know that you have feelings for a certain girl, its possible that they will tell their friends, then their friends will tell their friends and so on.  At some point, this knowledge will reach the very ears it was never meant to -- those of the girl you like. Write down all the thoughts and ideas you have about the girl you like in the diary.  Write down the things you’d like to say to her but aren’t ready to yet. Do not express your feelings on social media like Twitter or Facebook.  Even if you’re vague, it’s possible that someone could piece together what and who you’re talking about, and your cover would be blown. The more you focus elsewhere, the less you’ll be focused on her.  Your new hobbies will give you a needed distraction, and help you hide your feelings.   Find something that you enjoy and that engages your attention and energy in positive ways. Developing a skill will help you build confidence.  If you feel uncomfortable revealing your feelings to a girl you like because you doubt your ability to woo her, gaining confidence by learning new abilities can potentially solve your problem. If you’re not around her, there’s no way to reveal your feelings.  You’ll never be faced with a situation in which you inadvertently admit to your affection for her, or in which you just become so frustrated by not admitting how you feel that you spill the beans.  Further, you'll never have nosy friends picking up on your potentially unusual behavior when you're in the presence of your crush.  Spend time with family and friends instead of her. Avoidance includes online interaction and texting.  Do not browse her social media profiles or text her as an alternative to spending time with/around her.
A: Don’t talk to anyone about your feelings. Keep a diary. Take up a new hobby like painting, skateboarding, or playing a musical instrument. Do not spend time with her.

Problem: Article: If you are struggling to get motivated, think about other times where you were able to stay on track and accomplish your goals. Think about the outcome of what you accomplished and how you felt when you succeeded. For example, if you are struggling with motivation to exercise, think about a time when you powered through and exercised and felt great afterwards. Think about how you felt during your workout, and how you felt about yourself afterwards for pushing yourself to pursue a worthy goal like getting fit. Even if you don't feel motivated, just try getting started anyways. Sometimes we build things up in our minds and make them seem like they are going to be way worse than they actually are. This is called affective forecasting, and we tend to be terrible at it. By the time you get started you will often find that things aren't so bad. For example, if you are having trouble getting motivated to write a book, open the keyboard and just start typing. Tell yourself that you will type for 5 minutes and if you still aren't motivated you will stop. You may find that by tricking yourself into starting, you will gain motivation and continue to write for much longer than 5 minutes. Part of the battle with motivation is that there are often other seemingly more interesting things in our environment vying for our attention. You can help become motivated to do something by removing the possibility to engage in other actions.  For example, if you are trying to get motivated to do your homework but you keep getting distracted by text messaging friends or browsing the web on your phone, then turn your phone off. Once your phone is off, place it somewhere that you cannot see it, such as deep in your bag. Make it difficult to get to; move your bag so that it is out of your reach. Once you no longer have the easily accessible options of texting with friends or browsing the web, you may find that the alternatives to not doing your homework are not as exciting, and so finding the motivation to do your homework may become easier. A great way to stop being distracted by video games or browsing the internet is blocking it off for a period of time. One of the tools that could be used for this is a software called Cold Turkey which is free. Some people are motivated by competition. Think back on your past and whether there have been cases where you were motivated to accomplish something because you were competing with someone else (or yourself). If this rings true for you, then foster some friendly competition. The other person doesn’t necessarily need to know that you are competing with them, even. You can turn to others to help you with motivation. Tell your friends and family about what you hope to accomplish and what you are struggling with. Don't struggle to tell them thinking what will they think about it. Talking it out with them can help you stay motivated and keep negative feelings that sap motivation at bay.  Surround yourself with people who are positive and are themselves motivated to accomplish their goals. You can catch their positive emotions and positivity and this will help you to be motivated.
Summary:
Think about past successes. Try just starting. Remove distractions. Compete. Get support.
