Q: If your friend means something to you, you should be sure that he or she is using you before you decide to cut all ties. You can do this by confronting your friend in a calm, rational way. Keep in mind that if deep down he or she is a good friend, he or she was not using you but was merely oblivious and will likely be willing to change. If your friend is using you and gets upset and you lose him or her as a friend as a result of the confrontation, that is probably for the best anyway. When you confront your friend, be sure to do it in a quiet spot so that he or she doesn't get agitated. Make sure you are in a place that you can both speak your minds freely without feeling overly self-conscious. Avoid places like crowded restaurants with tables close together. Try bringing up the conversation with your friend on a walk in a nice park. Do not bring other friends into the mix, even if they have the same complaint. Having other friends there could be overwhelming and could scare your friend off or make him or her especially upset. If one person criticizes you for something, you may be willing to take the advice and change. If several people criticize you at the same time, you may feel threatened and get offended; after all, it means that all those people had sat around and talked negatively about you, which could be frustrating. Explain your reasons for suspecting that your friend is using you and see what he or she says. Lay out specific details so that your friend cannot just shrug it off, call you accusatory, or a liar.  However, do not be too nit-picky in your examples; your friend could turn the tables on you and call you petty. Make sure you speak about your friend's actions and not his or her character. If you make it about specific actions, your friend will be less likely to get upset; if you call your friend a user, he or she may get upset and the conversation will quickly dissolve. For example, you could say something like, "I gave you rides when your car was being repaired last month. However, when my car broke down this week and I asked you for a ride to work, you ignored my request. I've realized that when I ask you for help you tend ignore me." If your friend apologizes and is willing to change his or her behavior and you actually notice that he or she is changing for the better, there is a chance that your friend was not using you but was just oblivious to what turned out to be selfish actions. Sometimes people get caught up in their own lives and worlds and are not aware that their actions came across as selfish. Explain why you can't be friends with this person anymore and stop talking to him or her. Do not let your former friend convince you that they will change, especially if you've given them multiple chances already. This person will keep taking advantage of you if you let him or her back in.
A: Prepare yourself. Find a quiet spot. Be alone with your friend. Speak calmly but assertively. Seek an apology. Consider breaking it off if you feel that it's all about being used and nothing to do with genuine friendship.

Q: For example, you may have a to-do list for work and a to-do list for home. By creating separate lists, you can focus your attention and energy on one set of tasks at a time. There is no point in looking at your personal to-do list while you’re sitting in your office, so put it away! To be your most productive, you need to have tunnel vision on the tasks in front of you. Remove the background noise and the stress of future chores by making situation-specific lists. Keep it simple! This will help you organize your tasks in order of priority, and you won’t feel overwhelmed looking ahead at tasks for tomorrow, next week, or next month. Be realistic about what you can accomplish in 24 hours. Your daily to-do lists should have less than ten things, and maybe even less than five.  If you can’t figure out where to start, try this. Imagine you fast forward to bedtime. Which task do you want to be finished with first? That should be at the top of your list. Use your master list to make your daily lists. After you've created your daily list, put your master list away. Be realistic! If you over-commit yourself and constantly feel like you’re running out of time to get your list done, you will create unnecessary stress. It’s hard to be productive if you’re feeling flustered. Next to each task, jot down how much time you truly think each one will take. Use these time estimates to plan your day. Give yourself a cushion of 10 to 15 minutes between each task. Realistically you cannot switch from one chore to another without any transition time, so consider this while you're making your schedule. This may sound superficial or unnecessary, but it really can help change the way you look at your to-do list. Write or type it out in your favorite color. Write on a piece of stationery, post it on a pretty bulletin board, or create a sleek document on your smartphone. Just create a list that inspires you to stay motivated and get things checked off.
A: Sort your master list into categories. Make your to-do lists for the current day only. Estimate the time each task will take. Make your list aesthetically-pleasing.
