Article: It may seem like unnecessary punishment to delve into the details of your error, but a close examination of it is the best way to turn a mistake into a learning experience.  Most mistakes can become worthwhile if you learn and improve because of them.  Delve into the root causes of your mistake, such as jealousy (in saying something rude) or impatience (in getting a speeding ticket).  Categorize the mistake in terms like jealousy or impatience so that you can more easily identify solutions.  Remember:  choosing to learn from a mistake is the path to growth; living in self-condemnation and contempt leads to personal stagnation. Identifying the cause(s) of your mistake is only the first step towards actually learning from it, of course.  It's not enough to simply say "I won't do that again" without determining actionable changes that will prevent you from repeating the same or similar mistake.  You don't magically learn from a mistake just by analyzing the details of it and admitting your fault, although these are essential steps.  Think about what specifically you could have done differently in that situation, and lay out what specifically you will do differently the next time you face a similar scenario.  Take time to actually write down an "action plan" for next time.  It really can help you visualize and prepare for avoiding the same mistake. For instance, say that you forgot to pick up your friend from the airport because you stretched yourself too thin with so many responsibilities that you couldn't keep track of them all.  Once you've identified this problem (and apologized to your buddy!), create a plan of action for better organizing and prioritizing your responsibilities when things get hectic.  And also think about ways to say "no" when you are stretched too thin. Many of our most common mistakes, from overeating to yelling at a spouse for no good reason, can be attributed to bad habits.  To prevent repetition of the mistake, you need to identify and address the habits that cause it.  It can be tempting to try to identify and correct all your bad habits at once in order to create a "new you," but it is best to take it easy and focus on one habit at a time.  After all, what are the odds that you can quit smoking and spend more time with your mother at the same time?  Instead, try focusing on breaking one bad habit, then consider your readiness to tackle another. Make the changes as simple as possible.  The more complex your plan is to break a bad habit, the more likely it is to fail.  If you want to wake up earlier because you're regularly late to work and important appointments, go to bed earlier and/or set your bedroom clock ahead ten minutes. Find ways to fill the void created by your former habit.  Make it something positive, like exercising, spending more time with your kids, or volunteering.

Problem: Article: This is especially important if you've packed the heaviest items on the bottom and the most fragile items in the center. The amorphous walls of the duffel will not provide much protection for the contents. Thus, you will need to need to handle your bag with particular care. Avoid stacking heavy items on top of the duffel, and try to keep it from taking too much wear. It can be a pain to dig through the depths of your duffel bag just to find one item – especially if you are using a particularly large bag. If you think that you might need to access anything over the course of a given day, take care to arrange that thing in an easily-accessible position near the zipper. On the other hand: items near the top of the bag will be easy picking for would-be duffel thieves. Pack your most important and sensitive belongings deep within the bag, ideally inside socks or other containers. Over the course of a trip, you may find that your belongings become jumbled and mussed from the day-to-day demands of living out of a duffel. Sometimes, you will need to take heavy items from the bottom of the bag, which can disturb the carefully-layered strata of clothing and travel necessities. Do not hesitate to take everything out of your bag and reorder it! It won't take long, and the belongings within will be much safer from the wear and tear of travel. Consider taking everything out of your bag each evening when you arrive at your place of lodging. Then, take a few minutes to thoughtfully repack the bag in the morning before you leave. This way, you can ensure that the most important items for each day remain at the top of the bag. Consider using smaller, also-amorphous bags to divide up the space within your duffel. Use a bag for your toiletries, a bag for your food, and a bag for your dirty laundry. This way, you won't need to rifle through the main compartment each time you need something. You can take out the appropriate "compartment bag," then quickly sort out the needed item. If you'll be staying in one place and heading out for day-trips, take along a smaller bag so that you don't need to lug your duffel everywhere. Stuff the day-pack into your duffel. Each day, leave the large duffel in your place of lodging, and fill the day-pack with only the essentials.  The day-pack can even function as a separate, modular "compartment" within the main duffel chamber. Store your toiletries, or your electronics, or your food in the day-pack to keep these items apart from the other contents of your duffel. The day-pack may be easier to pack into the duffel if it, too, is amorphous rather than rigid in structure. This way, you can pack the day-bag within and around your other belongings – it won't take up a commanding space.
Summary: Face the zippered side up. Keep need-to-access belongings near the top. Repack when necessary. Compartmentalize. Bring a day-pack for day trips.

These are great little strips of a cotton material backed with an ultra-sticky solution that dries to your face. Follow the package directions by getting your face damp and applying the strips to your blackhead-prone areas. Wait 15 minutes for the strips to dry, and then rip them off quickly to pull out your blackheads. This option offers immediate results, but must be followed by one of the aforementioned cleansing routines in order to give long-term results as well. Gels containing salicylic acid dissolve away the dead skin and dirt that gets trapped in your pores. Purchase a salicylic acid peel from your nearest drugstore or visit a local spa for a professional treatment. Use by applying in a thin layer to the affected area, allow time to set, and then rinse off with warm water. This is a special spa process which works by using a specialized brush and chemical cleanser to clean out dead skin cells. These are often only available at spas and your dermatologist's office, but some beauty supply stores offer an at-home version. Get these treatments on a regular basis in order to receive the best results. Retinoid creams are packed full of skin-approved vitamin A, which helps to improve skin growth and prevent oil buildup. You can find retinoid creams at your favorite drugstores. Use 2-3 times a week in addition to your regular skin cleaning routine to keep your pores blackhead free. Although using a blackhead removal-tool on your own can cause damage to your skin, getting a professional facial can give you the same immediate results with blackhead removing tools. Ask your dermatologist or esthetician for different facials that are offered and decide on which is best for your skin type. Getting these blackhead facials once every 2-4 weeks can help to keep your skin clear over time.
