Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Pick 1-2 types of communication to measure to focus your study. Focus on one aspect of effectiveness to make your study more useful. Establish which stages of the communication you'll measure. Connect your evaluation to an end goal to make it more helpful. Create a baseline for your evaluation if possible. Establish milestones for your project to help with your measurements.

Answer: In a company, you have a wide variety of options. You could measure internal communication by looking at emails or external communication by checking social media responses. Try to narrow your scope so that your evaluation will be more effective.  Start by deciding what area you're going to look at: internal communications and external communications are the two main categories. Next, target a specific area within the category you want to evaluate, such as emails, social media outreach, a marketing campaign, or an informational campaign. Look at external communications to decide whether marketing campaigns or informational campaigns are effective. Examine internal communications to check whether you are getting through to your employees and changing behavior as needed. You could also look at how effective information campaigns are by requesting responses from your target audience, for instance. "Effectiveness" can mean different things, and effectiveness for your project is going to look different than it would for any other project. As an example, it could mean that the audience understood the communication and changed its behavior. Alternatively, maybe the audience found the communication accessible and informative. Decide what is most important in your measurement and that will help guide how you measure its effectiveness. Being effective could refer to the fact that you engaged your audience and encouraged them to interact with the company. Every time you communicate within the company or externally, you must prepare the communication, implement it, and then check the impact. Each of those levels changes how effective the communication is, as each part affects the end message.  For instance, in the preparation phase when you're developing the message, you need to have your facts straight, have appropriate data to present to your audience, and present the information in a manner that makes sense to the audience. In the implementation phase, who you're reaching and how many people you're reaching is important. In the impact phase, the number of people who absorb the message or change their behavior is essential. All of these parts contribute to how effective the communication is. You likely have goals for your communication, such as informing the public, making policy changes internally, or encouraging a different company culture. Whatever your company goals are, they will affect what you measure when you're looking at a specific type of communication.  You might also want to engage customers in conversation or increase sales. For instance, if one of your goals is to engage customers and you want to measure external communication on social media, then you might devise a formula to check how many posts received responses and what kinds of posts were the most popular. The baseline is what your audience knew before you gave them any information. This type of baseline can be informal or formal, depending on your needs, but if you don't have a baseline, you can't measure how much more the audience knows or engages with the company after the communication.  A baseline is like having a control group in a research study. For instance, an informal baseline could be a single person asking a random sampling of people within your company how much they know about an internal policy. If the person finds that almost no one knows what the policy is, that gives you a starting point. For a more formal baseline, you might use an informational survey to establish how much your audience knows about a given topic. A baseline evaluation can also determine the audience's values that might affect communication, as well as the audience's attitude towards a particular subject. A milestone is a small point along the way to meeting a bigger objective. If you set milestones, you'll be able to measure the effectiveness of communication better as you can see how things are changing over time. Set milestones up with specific things you can measure and then establish deadlines.  Ultimately, your milestones should help you meet your objectives, which should help you meet your overall goal. Maybe you're ultimate objective is to engage 50,000 more customers on social media in a year. You can break that down into smaller milestones, such as "Name a social media chair," "Increase social media engagement," and "Create a specific social media personality for the company." Other milestones could be to "Get 3,000 followers in the first month," or "Make 20 posts in the first 2 weeks."

Answer: Its icon resembles the white letters "in" on a blue background. If you aren't logged into LinkedIn, tap Sign In, enter your email address and password, and tap Sign In. It's the person-shaped icon in the bottom right corner of the screen (iPhone) or the right side of the tool bar at the top of the screen (Android). It's in the top right corner of the screen. This option is at the top of the "Account" screen. It's the blue button at the bottom of the screen. The "Email address" field is near the top of the page. It should be the same password you use to log into LinkedIn. LinkedIn will send a confirmation email to your provided email address. To do so:  Open your email inbox. Tap the email from LinkedIn Security. The subject will read "Confirm your email address." If you do not see the email, check the spam folder. Tap the "this" link in the email's body. It will open to the page you left it on. This link is below the new email address you just added.  Your new email address is now your primary email address. You'll enter this email when signing into LinkedIn from now on.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Talk to your doctor. Prep your home. Purchase at-home exercise equipment.

Answer:
Make an appointment to speak to your doctor prior to starting any new exercise routine.  Not all physical activity is safe for everyone, so you need to make sure that your activity plan is safe and appropriate for you.  If you currently have a medical condition or injury, talk to your doctor about what types of activity are appropriate for you.  They may give you some restrictions, but also provide guidelines of what is acceptable and safe. Also, if you suffer from a chronic injury, speaking to a physical therapist or orthopedist might be a good idea.  They can give you detailed guidance on what to do or not do. If you begin a workout routine and experience any pain, shortness of breath or other side effects, discontinue immediately and consult with your doctor. Although exercise DVDs generally do not require a lot of equipment, you should evaluate your in-home set up and what you'll need to do to make exercising feasible.  Choose a spot where you plan on exercising.  Make sure you'll have enough space to move around or perform the exercises suggested in your DVD in a safe manner.  You may need to move some furniture or other items out of the way. Also consider the flooring.  If you have hardwood floors, you may need to purchase an exercise mat to make floor exercises more comfortable. After reviewing or watching a few exercise DVDs you can assess what at-home equipment you will need to purchase.  However, make sure you've fully decided on what DVD or program you're purchasing before spending money on any required equipment.  Some DVD programs will require fitness equipment.  Items may include:  an exercise mat, a stability ball, a set or two of hand weights, resistance bands, kettle bells or a foam roller. If you have little room or a small budget, find DVDs that require little to no extra equipment.  Some programs offer routines that use furniture or other common household items for their workouts.
