Q: When you finish a draft, set aside your work for a few hours, a day, or several days to clear your mind. After a short break, take another look at the piece with a fresh perspective, and think about your intended audience as you begin revising. Depending on your deadline, you may only have a few hours to set the piece aside. Do something else with your free time instead of thinking about the paper. When you revisit it, you’ll be a bit more refreshed. Sometimes, it can be difficult to edit in a document on a computer or laptop. Hold the paper in your hands and focus on editing and revising 1 page at a time. Use highlighters, pens, and sticky notes to make comments for yourself, and then use this draft to adjust the document on your computer. If you don’t have access to a printer, consider visiting a local library to use theirs, or pay to have your document printed at an office supply store. You may catch far more errors by reading your work out loud than you would if you read it silently. As a final proofreading measure, read the document out loud with a pen or pencil in your hand or ready to edit it in a word processor. Then, make a note or correct any errors you come across as you read. You may also find it helpful to read your writing out loud to a partner or to have someone read your work out loud to you. This will provide a different perspective on how the writing sounds and you may catch even more errors by doing this. Let your reader offer advice on the paper’s structure, clarity, and overall quality. Have them identify any places where they may have been confused or bored. Be open to suggestions and participate in a conversation about your work to understand the reader’s perspective.  Remember that you don’t have to follow every suggestion, but you should heed at least some of the advice from the reader. If you want to improve your editing and revising skills, offer to read someone else’s paper in return.
A: Allow at least 1-2 hours between writing and revising. Print out the paper to see errors that are tough to catch on a screen. Read your document out loud. Ask a peer to proofread your paper and provide comments.

Article: If you’re traveling to a different city, see if rain, cold, or extreme heat are in the forecast. Tailor your clothing decisions to the conditions you’ll be in. This is extremely important because nobody wants to end up sick when travelling. If it’s raining, plan on bringing an umbrella or raincoat, and leave behind your best leather shoes if you’ll be walking around outside. If the temperatures look high during the day and night, you can save room in your bag by leaving behind your heavy jacket. Wear something comfortable if you’ll be traveling on the plane or in a car, like a pair of jeans and a T-shirt. Pack something nicer for the first night if you have an event or will be going out to dinner, like a dress for women or slacks and a button-down shirt for men. To save extra space, wear your day shoes the first day, while traveling. If you have a fancier event that night, pack a pair of nicer shoes, such as heels for women or dress shoes for men. You can wear your day shoes the next day to travel in. If you plan to get up and travel the following day, save space by wearing the casual clothes you travelled in yesterday. This might give you room to sneak in a second pair of shoes, or a hair straightener. Women can bring along a pair of capris and a blouse. Men should opt for a polo shirt and slacks. This is a must for obvious reasons! Since you’re only staying for one night, there’s usually no need to bring more than one extra pair of each. If you anticipate rainy weather, throw two pairs of socks in your bag in case one gets wet. Bring a long-sleeved shirt and pants if your destination will be chilly, otherwise opt for something smaller and thinner, like a nightgown or a T-shirt and boxers. This will save space and keep you cool while you sleep. Jewelry is lighter and smaller than clothes and can dress up a plain outfit in a heartbeat. For a colder climate, throw in a scarf, or wear it while traveling. To keep a jewelry chain from knotting, place it in a plastic bag and pull just a bit of the chain out. Zip up the bag tightly around the piece of chain, but leave it sticking out of the top. Will you be staying at a hotel with a pool, or nearby a beach? Your swimsuit is lightweight and doesn’t take up too much room. If there’s a chance you’ll be swimming, bring it along to be safe.
