Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Back up your filing system regularly. Establish rules for yourself. Delete your filing system's unnecessary files. Remember to save new files directly to your filing system. Rename files to cut down on visual clutter. Form a habit of using and maintaining your filing system.

Answer: This is very important, as doing so will both ensure that your files are always retrievable and keep your computer organized. The easiest way to back up your filing system is to copy it by selecting it and pressing Ctrl+C (Windows) or ⌘ Command+C (Mac), open an external hard drive or flash drive, and paste the filing system there by pressing Ctrl+V (Windows) or ⌘ Command+V (Mac). You can then rename the filing system's folder to the date of the backup.  You can also upload your filing system to a cloud storage service such as Google Drive, iCloud Drive, OneDrive, or DropBox. Make sure you hold onto filing system backups for at least one year. This will ensure that, even if your computer is compromised or you delete a file you thought you didn't need, you'll be able to access the backup to restore the most recent version. Your filing system will only keep you so organized; if you want to take full advantage of your system's organizational capacity, you'll need to follow your own rules for using it. Some good rules to keep include the following:  Never store loose files in a folder that also contains subfolders. Empty the "Temporary" folder at least once per week. Avoid deleting documents, receipts, or other potentially useful items even if you think their usefulness is up. Don't hang onto expired or useless files. Back up your filing system once per week. As time goes by, some of your filing system's contents will invariably become outdated, redundant, or otherwise unnecessary to keep. While you may feel like you should hold onto these files "just in case", it's better to delete them and free up clutter than it is to hold onto them.  If you're regularly backing up your filing system to a hard drive or a cloud storage service, do this after backing up the filing system. Removing your filing system's unnecessary files while saving them in a backup will ensure that you still have access to them if the need arises while keeping your computer's filing system tight. When creating documents or downloading files, you'll usually have an option to pick the location to which you save them; while most programs will use a default folder somewhere on your computer if you don't select a specific location, you can choose to save the items to your filing system by clicking Save As or Browse and then going to the filing system folder you want to use. You'll usually use the Save As option when saving a document from a program (e.g., a Microsoft Word document), while files downloaded from your web browser will usually require you to select a folder or click Browse.... By default, most downloaded files will have proprietary names. You can rename these files to use your own wording in order to clean up your filing system's visual presentation:   Windows — Right-click a file, click Rename in the drop-down menu, type in whatever you want to name the file, and press ↵ Enter.  Mac — Click once the file, press the ⏎ Return key, type in whatever you want to name the file, and press ⏎ Return. Like anything else, using your filing system to the extent of its capabilities will require practice and consistency. If you remember to use your filing system every day, get used to finding and using your files in it, and consistently clean up your filing system when you're done with it, your computer will be well-organized in no time.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Make a circle using a pen or pencil. Apply heavy pressure to shade a sliver of the sphere's side and bottom.

Answer: Draw the circle so it's as wide as you'd like the sphere to be. Press lightly so you can easily go back and shade in the sphere. For a little help drawing a circle, trace something round or use a compass. Determine where light hits your sphere and begin shading along the opposite side of the sphere where the shadow would fall. Then, apply a little less pressure as you shade in the curved center of the sphere. Use a light touch to shade just a little where the light would hit the sphere. For example, if light hits the top right of the sphere, press firmly along the bottom left portion of the sphere to make a shaded crescent.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Understand the different types of relaxation techniques. Practice deep breathing relaxation. Perform progressive muscle relaxation. Try guided visualization.

Answer:
There are quite a few different types of relaxation techniques that you can learn to help with your fear and anxiety.  They include, but are not limited to, the following: autogenic relaxation; progressive muscle relaxation; visualization; deep breathing; hypnosis; massage; meditation; tai chi; yoga; biofeedback; and music and art therapy.   Autogenic relaxation is a technique where you use visual images and body awareness, while repeating words or terms, to help relax and reduce muscle tension.  Progressive muscle relaxation is a technique where you tense and relax each muscle in your body in order to get a sense of what each one feels like in both a tense and relaxed state.  Visualization is a technique where you visualize specific settings that make you feel relaxed and calm (i.e. forest, beach with waves, etc.).  Deep breathing is a technique where you purposely breathe deeply from your abdomen in order to release tension and reverse hyperventilation.   Biofeedback is a technique where you learn to control each of your body’s functions, like your heart rate or breathing. When you’re anxious or afraid you may react by breathing too quickly and hyperventilating.  Hyperventilating can intensify your feelings of anxiety and fear and make the situation worse.  Breathing deeply can help you relax, reduce your tension, and make you feel less anxious.  Follow these steps to relax using deep breathing:  Sit or stand somewhere where you’re comfortable and keep your back straight.  Put one of your hands on your chest and put your other hand on your stomach. Take one slow deep breath in through your nose while counting to four.  The hand on your stomach will rise while the hand on your chest shouldn’t move very much. Hold your breath while counting to seven. Exhale through your mouth while you count to eight.  Push out as much air as you can using your abdominal muscles.  This means the hand on your stomach should move downwards, and the hand on your chest shouldn’t move very much. Repeat these steps until you feel calmer and relaxed. Anxious people also tend to be tense, even when they think they’re relaxed.  Progressive muscle relaxation can help you distinguish between relaxed and tense muscles so you actually know what it feels like to relax.  Practice the following steps twice a day until you really feel it working.  Find a quiet place where you can sit comfortably with your eyes closed.  Remove your shoes. Allow your body to go as loose as you can and take 5 deep breaths. Select a specific muscle group to begin with (i.e. your left foot) and focus on those muscles. Work each of these muscles groups: individual feet; lower leg and foot; entire leg; individual hands; entire arm; buttocks; stomach; chest; neck and shoulders; mouth; eyes; and forehead.  Take one slow, deep breath while tensing the muscles you’ve selected for 5 seconds.  Make sure you can feel the tension in your muscles before you move on. Allow all the tension to leave the muscles you’ve selected while exhaling. Pay close attention to how these muscles feels when tense and when relaxed. Stay relaxed for 15 seconds, then select another muscle group and repeat the same steps. Using visualization to relax is exactly what it sounds like — you visualize something that you find extremely relaxing in order to reduce your anxiety and reduce your fears.  A guided visualization is where you listen to a recording where someone talks you through the process step-by-step.  There are many free guided visualizations available online, some with background music or sound effects to help make the process seem more real. Guided visualization recordings will provide the instructions on how to prepare yourself and what to do.  They will also vary in length, so you can select the ones that work best for you.
