Article: Let your co-workers and clients know you value their time by showing up five to ten minutes early for all meetings and important events at work. This will demonstrate your maturity as an adult in the workplace, as you are willing to put other people’s time above your own. Being late for a meeting or barging in during a client call is the definition of being unprofessional and immature. You should also try to show up early for all classes and school related meetings, as this will demonstrate to your peers that you can be responsible for yourself and for arriving early or on time. Try to be early or on time for even seemingly casual or unimportant meetings with peers, as your peers will take it as a sign of your maturity and tact. Show up to work or to class ready to go, with all the necessary supplies and notes. For class, this may mean having a notebook, pen, textbook, and highlighter ready. For work, this may mean being prepared with pen, paper, client related notes or information, and your work phone. Coming to class and work prepared will show your teachers and superiors that you take your role very seriously and are willing to do the hard work necessary to succeed. This will also project an air of confidence and self-respect as you are able to be accountable to the expectations of your role as a student and an employee. Demonstrate maturity in your interactions with others by having good manners and a respectful nature. This could be as simple as holding open the door for others, helping someone with a heavy package or a heavy load, or acknowledging everyone with a “good morning” or “hello”. Be considerate of the feelings and needs of others, with an awareness of how to be helpful and useful to your friends, peers, and co-workers. You should also always knock on doors before you enter a room, meeting space, or office, and say “excuse me” if you are interrupting a client call or a meeting. This will demonstrate that you can be respectful of other people’s needs and time. Let others around you know how much you appreciate their hard work and dedication, as this will show you can take a mature approach to the workplace and the classroom. If you see a co-worker doing a great job on an account, pull them aside and say, “Great job on that, I really appreciate your hard work.” If you notice a peer helping a student struggling with a math problem, let them know you think it was cool of them to offer some guidance and mentoring. You can also take on the role of a mentor or guide to others as a way to demonstrate maturity to others. Look for any peers who are struggling with their work or co-workers who may need a hand on a project and offer any guidance or assistance. This will allow you to be a role model for others and show how mature you can be. One of the most challenging parts of being mature is being willing to accept criticism and feedback. An immature response to criticism would be anger, resentment, or denial. A more mature response would be to say thank you to the person who is offering criticism and consider what the person has to say. This will show that you have enough confidence and maturity to respect the opinions of others and to listen to their feedback.

Look for anything that needs cleaning at least once everyday, even if it's not a scheduled cleaning day.  Cleaning your hamster's cage too often or too little can cause them undue stress, so make sure you are cleaning the right amount when needed.  Look for any droppings or wet areas in the bedding material.  You can spot remove some areas. However, if there are a lot of them you should change the bedding. Pick out any leftover food that your hamster may have left laying around the cage. Change the water daily.  If the bedding material has become soaked or damp near the water dispenser, you may want to change the bedding out. If the walls of the enclosure are looking dirty or smudged, it may be time for a full cleaning. If the cage smells you must clean it fully.  Hamsters have a very sensitive sense of smell and can fall ill if the cage is unclean or the air quality is too poor. Before you get started cleaning, it is a good idea to assemble everything you will need.  This can make the process much easier and less stressful for both you and your hamster.  Collect the following items to get started:  Wash cloth or baby wipes. This will be used for scrubbing and cleaning the cage and anything in it. Disinfectant.  You can use mild, antibacterial hand or dish soap.  Avoid harsh chemicals like bleach as these can harm your hamster.  Pet stores will often carry safe and approved cleaning solutions as well. New bedding to place in the cage after you've cleaned it. Keep about a third of the bedding so they don't get stressed. You won't be able to clean the cage properly unless you have removed your hamster from it.  Place your hamster in a secondary cage, exercise ball, or other safe enclosure while you work.  Handle your hamster gently as you remove them from the cage. Cup your hamster in your hands, fully supporting their entire body. Don't leave your hamster in the exercise ball for more than half an hour as they will need fresh air and a break from the activity. Wash your hands before and after handling your hamster to protect both of you from spreading germs and getting sick.  You can use regular unscented hand soap for this. After you have removed your hamster and have placed them in a secure environment, you will need to take out any objects in the cage.  Leaving anything in the cage will make cleaning it more difficult and not as effective.  Remove all food and water bowls or dispensers. Take out any toys or exercise equipment. The last thing you need to remove from the cage will be the bedding.  The bedding is where your hamster leaves its waste, resulting in what can be a strong ammonia scent which can cause respiratory problems for your hamster.  Make sure to keep a little to mix in with the new bedding and reduce the hamster's stress.  You may want to seal the old bedding in a waste bag of its own to lock in any smells.
