Q: When you get homework assignments, schedule in time for each of them. Stick to your schedule, so that you always get your homework done on time. Your homework counts for part of your grade, so turning in your homework is important. However, don't just do enough of the work to pass. Actually take the time to work through the assignment. Your homework and reading is a way to reinforce what you're learning in class, and if you take the time to learn it effectively now, you won't have as much studying to do later. Don't just skim through your textbook. Read each sentence thoroughly, taking in the information. If you have a hard time paying attention, try reading it aloud to yourself or a friend. Take some time to look at what the main ideas are. It may help you to take notes on the main ideas, just so you have a general overview. Plus, writing down will help reinforce the information. Have a folder or binder for each class, and keep your notes, homework, and tests organized by section and date. That way, you know where all the materials on one topic are, and you can pull them out to review later.
A: Make a schedule. Do your homework. Read critically. Organize your notes, homework, and tests.

Q: If you have open cabinet space, line your shelves with drawer or shelf liner. Store your pots and pans on the shelves, being careful to only stack them on top of one another when necessary. If you do stack your pots and pans, line each one with a paper towel, cloth, or other soft material to prevent them from being damaged. Lingering moisture isn’t great for most pots and pans and can create rust. Using a paper towel or other absorbent material will help get rid of extra water while also protecting the cookware from getting scratched. To keep your pots and pans out of sight, install hooks into the top of your cabinets. Make sure the hooks are strong enough to hold each piece of cookware — the box that the hooks come in will say how much weight they can hold. For this method, make sure each pot or pan fits in the cabinet while hanging vertically. If you have a corner cabinet with a Lazy Susan, this is a great option for storing your pots and pans. The Lazy Susan makes reaching your cookware easy, and the door on the cabinet keeps your pots and pans out of sight. If you’re stacking your cookware on a Lazy Susan, make sure to line each pot and pan with a paper towel to protect them. There are many sliding shelf organizers to choose from, made of materials such as wood, plastic, and metal. Choose a sliding system that fits in your cabinet and follow the installation instructions that come with the specific organizer. These sliding systems make it easy to pull out a rack from your cabinet and reach all of your pots and pans. These sliding organizers can cost anywhere from $20 to $200, depending on the size and quality. There are many simple organizers you can purchase that will fit in a cabinet to hold your pots and pans. Many of them are a simple rack where you stash your cookware on its side. Tower racks are also an option, allowing you to lay your pots and pans down flat as you would to stack them, but the rack keeps them from touching.  Racks will cost between $10 and $50, with most simple ones averaging around $15. Your lids should slide right up against the wall with the handle holding the lid up on the bar. Use adhesive hooks to hold your lids up on the inside of a cabinet door. One hook will be placed at the bottom of the lid, and two other hooks should be installed on each side, holding the lid in place. If you're screwing the hooks into the cabinet, make sure you don't screw them all the way through to the front of the cabinet door.  You can also use adhesive hooks to hold lids on a wall or side of a counter. Make sure you place the hooks evenly and strategically so that you can remove the lid easily from the hooks. You can do this by holding the lid up to the cabinet and marking where the hooks should go. Read the weight limit on the package of hooks to make sure they'll be able to hold your lids. There are many traditional lid organizers that will help store your lids. Go online and search for one that you like best, or visit a store that has kitchen appliances. Most lid organizers cost between $5 and $25.
A: Keep pots and pans on lined shelves if you're stacking them. Install hooks to hang pots and pans in a cabinet. Stash your cookware using a Lazy Susan if you have a corner cabinet. Organize your pots and pans using a sliding system for easy access. Buy an organizer designed to hold cookware to fit your specific cabinet. Attach hooks inside of cabinets to hold lids. Purchase a pot lid organizer for your specific needs.

Q: Older phones generally have a lower level of functionality than newer phones.  The best place to start your search for a cell phone without internet access is by looking for one that was manufactured 10 years ago or more. Cell phones made before 1999 will not have internet access.  Phones produced after that may or may not have internet access. Most cell phones come preloaded with an internet browser or certain apps, but some require a separate data package to connect.  To get a cell phone with no internet access, choose one that requires a separate data package to connect.  Before buying, talk to a cell phone salesperson to double-check that a particular phone does not have internet access. When getting your phone activated, ask the carrier to exclude data from your monthly bill.  This will ensure that your phone won’t be able to access the internet when you’re away from a wi-fi signal. These are usually flip phones with no access to the internet.  While there are more expensive burner phones out there that will connect to the internet, the general and low-end ones found at gas stations and tech stores do not.  They are relatively inexpensive, but they’re also temporary.
A: Browse older phones. Buy a phone that does not connect to the internet. Opt-out of data on your service contact. Buy a low-cost burner phone.

Q: Never yell or punish your cat for urinating in the wrong area. Instead, quickly move her to the litter box. Consistently take her to the litter box and give positive feedback when she uses it. This will reinforce a positive association with urinating and her litter box. Cats like clean litter boxes, just as humans like clean bathrooms. If you're neglecting your cat's needs when it comes to offering a clean litter box, he may find it harder to resist urinating on your sofa or carpet. Keep your cat's litter box in a quiet location that is not near its feeding area. This will increase the chance that the box will be used properly. Cats that are spayed will not purposely urinate in order to mark their territory, solving the problem for you in the first place. Plus, you won't end up with a litter of kittens to potty train! While accidents do happen, particularly with young or even elderly animals, there may be a medical issue at the heart of the problem if you notice your pet urinating inappropriately. Contact your veterinarian to discuss possible medical reasons that your cat is urinating outside of the litter box. Ignoring a medical issue, such as a urinary tract infection, kidney disease or diabetes, could be life-threatening for your pet.
A:
Re-train your cat. Replace the cat's litter box more often. Consider getting your cat neutered or spayed. Have your cat checked by the veterinarian.
