Q: You don't want to put all your eggs in one basket. For example: Every month, you might want to put 30% of your investment money into stocks, another 30% into bonds, and the remaining 40% into a savings account. Adjust those percentages and investment options so that they're in line with your financial goals. If you put 90% of your disposable income into stocks every month, then you're going to lose a lot of money if the stock market crashes. That might be a risk that you're willing to take, but be sure that's the case. If you're uncertain about how to set up a plan in line with your goals and your risk profile, talk to a qualified financial adviser and get some feedback. There are many different accounts you might use for an investment plan. Familiarize yourself with some of the basics and figure out what works for you.   Set up a short-term emergency savings account with three to six months worth of living expenses. It's important to have this established to protect yourself if something unexpected happens (job loss, injury or illness, etc.). This money should easy to access in a hurry. Consider your options for long-term savings. If you are thinking about saving up for retirement, you may want to set up an IRA or 401(k). Your employer may offer a 401(k) plan in which they will match your contribution.  If you want to start an education fund, think about 529 plans and Education Savings Accounts (ESAs). Earnings from these accounts are free from federal income tax as long as they’re used to pay for qualified education expenses.
A: Decide on how you want to diversify. Ensure that your plan is in line with your risk profile. Consult a financial adviser. Investigate your options.

Q: If nothing seems to help with your hyperactivity, you might consider seeing a doctor. If you suspect that you have ADHD, bipolar disorder, or something else more complex than just hyperactivity, speak to a specialist. Sometimes, it helps to talk about your hyperactivity. People trained in the treatment of hyperactivity will be able to advise you further.  They may suggest stress reducing techniques like: counting from 1 to 10, "silent screaming", or other activities that help reduce anxiety when hyperactivity gets in the way of daily life. Counselors or therapists will also be able to advise you on whether or not to seek prescription help for you hyperactivity. If nothing else is helping enough, it's time to see a medical doctor. See a doctor, especially, if you have trouble concentrating at work, can't keep schedules, constantly forget things, and/or if the stress caused by these issues starts to feel difficult to deal with.  There is no verified test that proves whether you have ADHD or not. The doctor will most likely have you fill out surveys that will examine  your behavior in the past and the present, identify situations where you felt too hyper, and take into account how your hyperactivity affects others. Doctors will most likely advise sufferers to follow a "multimodal" plan. These plans use a variety of techniques to curb your hyperactivity. This includes various prescriptions for hyperactivity. The most common medication is Adderall. Doctors will most likely encourage you to seek out behavioral therapy as well.
A: Determine whether or not you should see a professional. Consider seeing a counselor or therapist. See a doctor.

Q: Exercise your  active listening skills for a short time as your friend talks. As you’re listening, try to understand their message and give them your full attention. Also, think about their emotional experience and motives. Why are they so desperate to talk at you instead of with you?  Understanding what your friend is trying to communicate can help you address their needs and get a say in the conversation. Once you’ve had enough of listening and it’s clear you won’t be getting an opportunity to talk, butt in. You might wait for an obvious pause and then jump in with a response. Do so graciously. Ask if it’s okay if you say something or if they were finished.  For instance, you might start off by saying “Are you finished? I’d like to say something.”  Your friend may demand to finish talking. If so, let them. Proving that you're listening can give you an opportunity to start your side of the conversation. Give a brief summary of their message in your own words. Ask them if your understanding is correct. For example, you might paraphrase by saying, “I thought I’d try to say back what you said to me to make sure I got it right. Is that okay?” Then go on to say something like, “It sounds like you were really frustrated about your score on the math test because you put a lot of effort into studying. You’re confused about what you did wrong. Is that right?” As you’re trying to summarize, your friend may attempt to take over the conversation again. Politely ask them to wait. You might say, “I listened to you. Please give me a chance to finish what I was saying.”
A: Listen for a while. Interrupt politely. Paraphrase what they were saying. Assert yourself if they try to interrupt.

Q: The potentially intense wind and sunlight will make stronger plants a better candidate for rooftop gardens. Seedlings with these qualities will be more likely to survive the first year. Add shade or windbreakers if you plan to add more fragile plants.  Ornamental grasses, honeysuckles, and magnolias all do well in hot, sunny weather. Make sure you regularly water your plants, even those that are drought-resistant. Plants originating from your state or climate will attract native fauna, like birds and butterflies. They will also adapt more easily to your garden than non-native plants. If harsh winds or heat hits, your plants will be much more likely to survive.  Decorate the garden with bird- or butterfly feeders to attract more animals. Ask your local nursery which plants are native to your area for your options. Large plants will weigh down your roof and leave less room for other decor. Small, ornamental trees and shrubs do well in rooftop gardens when protected with windbreakers and placed in stable containers. Add 2 to 4 trees or shrubs at most to conserve space.  Trim your trees' roots every few years to keep them at a manageable size. Examples of ornamental trees and shrubs include: Dogwood, Japanese Lilac Tree, Crabapple, Star Magnolia, and Jack Dwarf Flowering Pear. Plants with large, supple leaves tend to get shredded by the high winds on rooftop gardens. They are also more likely to suffer winter-burn during the colder seasons. Smaller-leaved plants or pines thrive particularly well on rooftops.
A:
Look for drought and heat-tolerant plants. Buy plants native to your area. Choose ornamental trees and shrubs. Shy away from large-leaf plants.
