In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you are too nervous to drive across town, make a shorter trip -- even if it is just around the block. Do not get yourself so worked up that driving becomes a bigger deal than it is. Unless you are overwhelmed with anxiety and terrified to get into a car, make yourself drive. Remember, even taking a small step still counts as practice.  Push your comfort zone a little at a time. For example, you may want to start by sitting in a parked car, getting used to all the controls, before you ever put the key in the ignition. Once you are comfortable doing that, you may want to start the car, shift the car into drive, and then back into park. Slowly build on your comfort level.  Figure out if your fear of driving is generalized or specific to one aspect of driving. If it is the latter, practice mastering the feared skill. For example, you may be terrified to parallel park. You may wish to find an empty street where you can practice maneuvering between safety cones, and when you have mastered that, perhaps you can try parking between two friends' cars. Get used to driving in quiet areas before practicing in traffic. Find quiet side streets or an empty parking lot, and get used to starting, stopping, signaling, turning, reversing, and so on. Learn to control your vehicle and to find the controls someplace where you don't have to worry about traffic or other drivers.  Work up to busier roads and longer drives as you start to feel comfortable operating the car. You may wish to practice driving only during the day at first. You will feel more confident simply because you are able to see better. Driving with someone you trust may help you to feel at ease in the car. If anything bad should happen, this person will be there to assist and advise you, and even to take over if traffic or conditions gets to be too much for your experience or confidence level.  Make sure you are driving with a person who is naturally calming to you. For example, you probably want a person who will calmly tell you, “Oops, looks like we missed the turn back there. How about you pull into this parking lot and turn around?” instead of shouting, “That's where we needed to turn!” Let your friend or family member know how they can be supportive to you in the car. Maybe you would like them to tell you about their day to help keep your mind calm. Or maybe you would prefer quiet to concentrate.
Summary: Take small steps. Drive away from others. Go out with a friend or family member.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Apply at least two coats of primer to your wicker before painting it. When applying primer, use multiple thin layers for a smoother, better looking, more chip resistant finish. Shake your spray primer thoroughly and then apply it by pressing its applicator button. Spray it evenly onto all wicker surfaces, including crevices and in between weavings. Wear a dust mask when priming.  When priming, keep your arm straight and use sweeping, left-to-right motions. Start from the top of the furniture and work your way to its bottom. Keep the spray applicator a few inches away from the wicker. For most kinds of primer, the benefits you receive from extra coats stops at five coats of primer. Save primer by applying no more than five coats. Primer is especially important when changing colors, or when covering over dark colors. Be sure to prime in these situations. Because wicker is so contoured, drips, runs, and unevenness in your primer are likely. Use a clean sponge or paintbrush to smooth any drips, runs, or unevenness so your primer coat is smooth throughout. After touching up, allow your primer to dry completely before adding another coat. The wait time for your primer should be indicated on its can. In most cases you can expect your primer coats to dry fairly quickly. Shake up your spray paint thoroughly. In the same fashion you applied your primer, you'll also apply your spray paint. In most cases, it is best to paint from top to bottom, though you may want to paint the underside and less visible parts of the furniture before painting its main parts.  Much like primer, multiple thin coats of paint will look better and be more chip resistant. Use at least two thin layers of paint, and no more than five. After you are finished spray painting each coat, check for drips, runs, and uneven spots in your paint. Use a clean sponge or brush to touch up these so each coat is smooth and even. Give your first coat sufficient time to dry completely before adding the next one. The paint will likely be dry in a few hours, but wait two days before using the furniture so the paint fully cures.
Summary: Prime the wicker. Touch up drips and runs. Spray paint the furniture.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: What are the most important things on your list? In general, you might decide that work/school tasks will outweigh social and house-hold chores, though certain outliers may exist. You've got to eat and bathe, for example, though laundry might be able to wait another day while you finish an important work project.  Decide on a few different levels, maybe three, to rank the different tasks and criteria on your list. High, medium, and low importance tasks might be the best and simplest way to start ranking the importance of things on your list. Be judicious in deciding. You can also use colors to rank the items on your list. For example, you could use red to identify important or high priority items on your list, orange for items of medium importance, and yellow for items that are not pressing at all. Consider upcoming deadlines and your ability to work within those deadlines. What needs to be done the soonest? What needs to be done by the end of the day? What might you be able to buy a bit more time on? It's important to consider the length of time it takes you to accomplish each of the tasks, maybe even assigning a set time to certain things. If you consider it a priority to exercise every day, but you've got a crazy amount of work to do, give yourself an exercise cap of 30 minutes and find somewhere to fit it in. It might be critical that you get something to post-office by the end of the day, but this isn't a terrifically difficult task. Rank everything on your list in terms of its difficulty so you'll know how to situate it in relation to other tasks. It might be effective to use levels like Difficult, Moderate, and Easy to rank them, rather than trying to judge them in relation to one another. Don't worry about putting them in order before you've given each item its own rating, if it's helpful to do so. Put at the top of the list the most important and urgent tasks that will require the least amount of effort to try to maximize your work in the time you've allotted for it.
Summary:
Rank the importance of each task. Rank the urgency of each task. Rank the effort required for each task. Compare all the tasks and order the list.
