When new correspondence enters your office or when new paperwork is created, you may not be able to file it right away. You should place everything that needs to be filed in a single place to be filed when you are able. A basket on your desk, labeled “To File,” is a good way to set these papers aside until you are ready. If you can, schedule a consistent time each day or week that you can work on filing new papers. If you make filing a regular part of your routine, you are more likely to keep up with it.  For example, you might set aside the last half hour of each day to file the day’s papers. If this is not enough time, then you might try doing your filing twice each day, just before you go to lunch and then just before leaving for the day. The keys to success are consistency and repetition. If you are the only person using your files, then you should easily be able to maintain the order that you have created. However, if other people need to use the papers in your files, you should make sure that they understand -- and follow -- the system that you have created. Having a filing system in place is not helpful if papers get misfiled and put into incorrect folders. If may be more efficient and more effective if you offer to get anything that someone else in your office might need, and then ask them to return everything directly to you. Then you can be sure that everything gets refiled correctly. Some special materials may need to be held in separate, special locations. For example, some papers may need to be kept in a safe or in a fireproof lockbox. You may even need to keep some materials off-site, in a bank safety deposit box or at your company’s lawyer’s office. At least once a year, or more frequently if necessary, you should set aside some time to review your files. The purpose of this review is to decide whether there are papers or entire folders that can be discarded or perhaps moved to an off-site storage facility. If something is never going to be needed again, then you should discard it. If it is something that you do not expect to use regularly but may need to keep as a record, then you should send it to storage.

If your toddler gets used to the bedtime process and knows what to expect, they’ll learn to accept that it’s time for them to go to sleep. Create a routine starting at least 30 minutes before bedtime, and try to stick to this routine every night if possible. For example, the routine could be that your toddler will take a bath, put on their pajamas, read a story with you, and then get tucked in for bed. You could also push them in a stroller to lull them to sleep or lower the light levels in the house prior to bedtime. It’s best if toddlers don’t watch TV or play stimulating games before they go to bed. This will make it much harder for them to calm down, as their mind will be energized. Stick to calm playing and reading before bed.  While they shouldn’t watch TV, they should also avoid other forms of screen time, such as playing on the computer or tablet. Games that require running around, lots of movement, or using loud voices shouldn’t be played an hour before bedtime. Letting your toddler have a little power during the bedtime routine will help them feel more in control. Give your toddler small choices to make, such as which story to read at bedtime or which snack they’d like to eat in the evening. Another choice might be letting them pick which stuffed animal gets to sleep in their bed. If you’ve been dealing with prolonged and difficult bedtimes, aim to have your toddler nap for about an hour to an hour and a half in the afternoon. Too little rest will make your toddler exhausted and cranky at bedtime; too little will leave your toddler with energy to burn. Try to ensure your toddler is awake by 3 pm so that they're tired when it's time for bed. Usually, toddlers run and play enough during the day to be tired by bedtime, but occasionally, you may run into a problem with a lack of fatigue, rather than an excess of it. Make sure your toddler is moving around a lot during the day and gets to play outside for a little while so they’re able to relax and wind down at bedtime.  Set a goal of 30 minutes of outdoor play each day. Your toddler doesn’t need to be running around constantly; as long as their mind is active and they’re playing or using their imagination, they should be tired by bedtime. This could include soft blankets, necessary stuffed animals, and a night light. The more warm and inviting their room and bed is, the safer and more content they’ll feel falling asleep.  Consider playing soft music designed to help your toddler fall asleep, or use an air humidifier. With the exception of a night light, try to keep the toddler's room mostly dark. Make sure the room isn't too hot or cold by regulating the temperature and using things such as a fan if necessary.

Ballet slippers, jazz shoes, turning shoes, are best for practicing pirouettes. You need something with good range of motion and support. Modern shoes, such as Capezio Foot Undeez or Dance Paws are also appropriate, which cover and support the ball of your foot. They're easy to slip on and great for quick practices. You also need to practice pirouettes in a safe place, clear of any sharp objects or obstacles. It's always preferable to practice in a dance studio under supervision. Your shoulders should be directly over your hips. Straighten your supporting leg to keep your releve should be as high as possible, imagine yourself stretching up to the sky, and into the ground. Make sure your hips are not tilted to the back, or otherwise off-kilter. Imagine your hips were a fruit bowl. Would your fruit spill? A tilted pelvis can often lead to incorrect turns and eventually knee and back problems. Make sure you have a strong plie prep but don't stay in your preparation (plie) too long, because then you will lose the momentum, making it difficult to pirouette.
