Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Create a good study space. Stick to a study schedule. Have specific goals for each study schedule.

Answer: The first step to studying harder is to create a study space for yourself. Studying in the same space each day is effective because your mind will learn to associate a particular space with work. It'll be easier to get into the flow of studying when entering your study space.  Students who spend time struggling to find a space to study often waste valuable time. Having a space you go every day to study is helpful.  Choose a study space that is free of distractions. Find a space away from television and other noises. You should not study in bed or on the couch. Choose a place with a desk where you can sit upright to work.  Make sure the space is set up for what you need. If you need to prepare a class project with lots of small pieces that must be arranged, a large, uncluttered space with a worktable will be best. If you just need to read your textbook, a cozy chair and a cup of tea may be just fine. Once you've found a great space to study, create a study schedule for yourself. Having a regular study sessions will help you avoid procrastination and stick to your goals as a students. You should start planning your study schedule as you get your course syllabus -- that way, nothing will sneak up on you.  You should strive to prioritize studying. Place study time ahead of extracurricular or social activities. Try to study shortly after class or school each day.  Schedule study sessions at roughly the same time each day. Having a regular schedule can help you stick to studying on a regular basis. Put these sessions into your calendar, just as you would a dentist appointment or soccer practice.  Start slow. At first, keep your study sessions between 30 and 50 minutes. After you've gotten used to this duration, push yourself to study for longer periods. However, stop to take short breaks occasionally. Studying for hours on end can cause stress. Take 10 minute breaks as you study. Don't go longer than 2 hours without a break. Studying without direction is not an effective way to learn and retain information. Go into each study session with specific goals in mind to try and make the most out of your study session.  Keep your overall academic goal in mind. Branching off of that goal, break it down into manageable chunks and focus on each chunk per session.  For example, say you have to memorize 100 vocabulary words for your Spanish final. Aim to memorize 20 words per session over the course of 5 study sessions. Make sure to review old words at the beginning of each new study session to make sure the information stays fresh in your mind.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Identify the six repeating words in the poem. Write around your six chosen words. Decide if you will use rhyme. Use metaphors and similes. Focus on sensory details and imagery. End on a high note.

Answer: Choose six words that are versatile and evocative. You will need to reinterpret these six words throughout the poem, so go for words that are specific enough but also open to interpretation. You may choose a few words that are nouns or verbs. Avoid using adjectives, unless you feel you can interpret the adjective more than one way. For example, for a poem about your love for your older sister, you may choose: “sister, share, hold, learn, bright, blood.” Rather than try to write each stanza of the sestina in order, arrange the six repeating words in their set places using the pattern of the sestina. Then, write around them, focusing on describing your subject in detail. Try to interpret the chosen words in different ways each time they appear in the poem. For example, you may have one line refer to your sister as a “bright star” and another line later refer to the “bright look on her face.” Sestinas do not have to rhyme and many modern sestinas do away with rhyme completely. But you can integrate rhyme into the lines of your sestina to give it more rhythm. Try rhyming two words side by side in one line of the sestina to give the sestina an interesting sonic quality. For example, you may use a rhyme like “blood good” or “bright might.” Metaphors are when you compare one thing to another. For example, “My sister is a blood flower in winter.” Similes are when you compare one thing to another using “like” or “as.” For example, “My sister is like a bright star at night.” Using metaphors and similes in your sestina will make it stronger and more engaging.  Often, metaphors are considered more effective than similes. Try using a mix of metaphors and similes to add variety to your sestina. Integrate the five senses into the sestina, focusing on how your subject looks, sounds, feels, tastes, and smells. Describe the subject using rich imagery that is particular and unique. Avoid cliche or familiar imagery, as this will weaken the poem. For example, for a poem about your older sister, you may focus on how she smells when she’s angry or upset, or how she sounds when she being affectionate towards you. A good sestina will use the last three lines of the poem to wrap things up in a dramatic way. You may choose to flip around the meanings of the six recurring words for a dramatic finish. Or you may wrap up a narrative with a strong ending in the last three lines of the poem. For example, in Ezra Pound’s “Sestina: Alforte,” he uses exclamation marks and a reinterpretation of the word “peace” to end the poem: “And let the music of the swords make them crimson!/Hell grant soon we hear again the swords clash!/Hell blot black for always the thought “Peace!””

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Purchase some small bags with drawstrings. Choose your herbs. Fill the sachets with herbs, sea salt and cinnamon. Store the herbal sachets in a dry, warm, dark spot.

Answer:
Get bags made from silk, muslin, cotton or lace. You can find them online or at craft stores.  Herbal sachets cost around $3 or $4. You could also sew your own herbal sachets with burlap. Cut the burlap into small rectangular pieces. Sew three sides together. Leave an opening on one side, so that you can put the herbs inside. Lavender is a popular herb for sachets. You could also try peppermint, chamomile, eucalyptus or lemon balm. You might try mixing different herbs to suit your mood. Dried flower petals could also be added.  If you are making herbal sachets to put in clothing drawers, you could mix lemon verbana, theme, spearmint, citrus peal, rose and lavender. Add a drop of pine essential oil.  For protection, add a mix of hyssop, Saint John’s wort and sage.  To encourage positivity, mix rosemary, sunflower and basil. For serenity, mix lavender, myrrh and sage. Try a blend of lavender, mint, sage, thyme, calendula, lemon verbena and any other herb that you find has a pleasing smell. Put half a tablespoon of each herb you want to use. Then, add half a tablespoon of sea salt. Finally, a small cinnamon stick can be thrown in for purification. Pull the drawstring closed.  If you like, you can also add a few drops of your favorite essential oils. Be careful not to put too many essential oils, since they could easily overpower the other herbs.  If you need to suck bad odors out of something like shoes, you could also add some baking soda. There is no recommended amount but you could start with one tablespoon. To let the sachets cure, they should be stored for a few weeks in a dry place, such as underneath a bed or in a drawer. Afterwards, you can use them wherever you want to bring a fresh scent, such as a cupboard or wardrobe. You can tuck your sachet into a linen closet, underwear drawer or under your pillow.
