Flaxseed oil is an easy and safe way to ingest flaxseed without having to grind the seeds. It’s also a good moisturizer for your skin. You can also drink 2-3 teaspoons of flaxseed oil a day in a glass of water or a smoothie. Flaxseed oil has a low smoke point so it does not hold up to the high heat of a burner and is not recommended for cooking on the stove. Flaxseed oil can become unstable if exposed to heat, so keep it cool in the refrigerator after you use it.

Summary: Look for flaxseed oil at your local health food store. Mix flaxseed oil in salad dressings and soups. Do not cook with flaxseed oil. Put flaxseed oil in the refrigerator after use.


At the very least, you’ll need an associate degree. More likely, you will be expected to earn a bachelor's degree in business or even an MBA. Look for majors like business, logistics, or supply chain management. Any MBA can help you get a job as an operations manager, but one that focuses in supply chain management or a similar field will be especially helpful. First-hand knowledge of how different parts of businesses work will help you oversee them all later as an operations manager. Look for jobs in business while earning your degree and afterwards. Try to get a breadth of experience in multiple areas, like:  Human resources Information technology Finance Sales As soon as you can start overseeing other people, go for it. Maybe there'll be an opening for a shift manager or team leader at one of your jobs. You can also talk to your manager and let them know you're interested in gaining some supervisory experience, so they'll have you in mind for any opportunities that come along.

Summary: Get a college degree. Gain as much experience in business as you can. Get some management experience.


Write down your journal entries in a book that isn't labelled and doesn't draw much attention to itself. This way, wandering eyes won't be able to spot the diary. Put the diary in an obscure part of your room to ensure privacy. You can also start each entry with a page that indicates your desire for the journal not to be read by anyone else. If someone opens your diary and sees a blank page, they'll know it's private and not for their eyes. You can write things like “private” or “don't read” on the page preceding an entry to really get the point across. On the off chance that someone else does read your diary, it would be difficult for them to get anything out of it if you use shorthand with which only you are familiar. For example, if you're writing about a negative situation, use code words to portray the people involved. Keep a reference sheet separate from your diary if you need to keep track of your shorthand. This way, when you go back and read your previous write-ups, you won't be confused about what you meant to say. You can buy a journal that has a traditional lock and key or one that requires you to punch in a passcode to open it. Some of these diaries can get expensive and cost more than 100 dollars, but you can obtain a solid, secure diary for around 25 bucks. It's possible to find this type of diary in stores, but looking for one online would be your best bet. If you don't feel comfortable having your journal out in the open, buy a safe online or at a local home improvement store. A small safe can cost fewer than 50 dollars. Safes are a great idea if you are living in a college dorm and want to keep your journal private.

Summary: Keep your thoughts in a simple, unmarked book. Begin each entry with a blank page. Use abbreviations and shorthand that only you can understand. Purchase a diary with a lock to keep your thoughts private. Buy a safe to keep your diary secure when you're not using it.


The most effective way to get rid of a persistent Bartholin cyst is via surgical drainage. You can see your family doctor, who may do it themselves (if they are experienced with the procedure). Alternatively, they may refer you on to another physician to have the procedure performed.  Most cases of incision and drainage are outpatient procedures done in the doctor's office and only require local anesthetic. An incision (opening) will be made in your cyst, allowing any fluid inside to drain out. A catheter (tube) may be placed into the cyst for up to six weeks following the procedure. This is usually only done for cases of recurrent Bartholin cysts. The purpose of the catheter is to keep the cyst open, so that any further fluid that accumulates can drain out immediately. Keeping the cyst open prevents fluid buildup and, as such, allows the cyst to naturally heal. If your Bartholin cyst appears to be infected, your doctor will prescribe you antibiotics following surgical drainage. It is important to complete the full course of antibiotics, and to not miss taking any of the pills, as missing pills will lessen the effectiveness of the antibiotics.  Also, if you test positive for any STIs, you will receive antibiotics whether or not your cyst is currently infected. The purpose to prevent an infection, as testing positive for STIs heightens your risk that your cyst may subsequently become infected. " If your Bartholin cyst recurs, you can speak to your physician about a procedure called marsupialization. This is when the cyst is surgically drained, and then stitches are placed on either side of the cyst to hold it open following the procedure.  This opening is permanent, and serves to prevent recurrences of the Bartholin cyst. You will likely have a catheter (tube) in for a few days following the surgical procedure; however, after that, the catheter can be removed because the stitches will be strong enough to keep the incision open. If you have a particularly bad cyst, or have had recurrent cysts, one of the "last resort" treatments is to have your Bartholin gland completely removed surgically, or removed via a laser procedure. Both of these are simple procedures that do not require an overnight hospital stay. While many people have asked if there are strategies to prevent (or reduce the risk of) a Bartholin cyst developing in the first place, doctors say that there are no known strategies for prevention. Doctors do recommend that you begin treatment — either home treatment or medical treatment — as quickly as possible once you notice a cyst developing.
Summary: Opt for surgical drainage. Take antibiotics. Ask your doctor about "marsupialization. Have your Bartholin gland completely removed. Note that there is no known way to prevent a Bartholin cyst.
