Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Measure the distance from the floor to the mark with a ruler. Print out a ruler for a more accurate makeshift measuring tool. Use an American dollar bill to measure the distance to the mark. Create a makeshift measuring tool with a piece of printer paper. Translate your shoe size into inches or centimeters.

Answer: Place one end of the ruler flat on the floor and position it so it's pressed vertically against the wall. Mark the top end of the ruler with a pencil. Then, move the ruler up so the bottom aligns with that pencil mark and mark the new top edge.  Repeat this process until you’ve reached the mark for your height. It may be easiest to keep track of each individual measurement on a separate sheet of paper so you can easily add them all together at the end. This is the simplest and most accurate way to measure your height without a measuring tape. There are a number of 12 in (30 cm) ruler templates that you can download online and print. Then, use the printed ruler just like a wooden or plastic ruler to measure the distance from the floor to your marked height.  Other than an actual ruler, this will provide the most accurate measurement of your height. There are also ruler apps that you can download to your phone if you don’t have a printer accessible. A dollar bill in the United States is 6.14 inches (15.6 cm) long and 2.61 inches (6.6 cm) tall. Press the bill flat against the wall and slide it down so one short edge of the bill is flat against the floor. Mark the top edge of the bill on the wall with a pencil. Move the bill up so the bottom edge is now flush with your original mark, then mark the new height.  Continue until you’ve reached the mark you made recording your height. You may need to use the height of the bill—2.61 inches (6.6 cm)—to measure the final few inches of your height. You can also fold the dollar bill in half to measure approximately 3 inches (7.6 cm), or in quarters for 1.5 inches (3.8 cm). A standard sheet of letter paper is 8.5 inches (22 cm) wide and 11 inches (28 cm) long. Use this sheet of paper to measure the distance between the ground and the mark you made by the crown of your head. Fold the paper in half or in quarters to create more precise measurements, which you can mark with a pencil to create a makeshift ruler. Make sure you’re using a standard sheet of printer paper. Other sizes of paper have different dimensions. If you know your shoe size, you can roughly translate that number into a measurement. Look up a sizing chart online to estimate the length of your foot based on your shoe size. Then, place your foot on a sheet of paper and mark the distance. Use this to measure the wall between the floor and your marked height.  For example, with European shoe sizing, size 35 is roughly 9 inches (23 cm) and 40 is 10 inches (25 cm). You could also cut a piece of string the size of your foot, then use the string to measure the distance from floor to marking.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Decide on tomorrow’s tasks and goals. Do time-consuming tasks the night before. Plan your next day’s exercise.

Answer: Visualizing your next day’s events can help you prepare mentally. This also helps you decide which time-consuming tasks need to be done tonight.  Make note of any appointments or meetings—on paper, smartphone, or other device. Write a list of any important reminders such as errands or general things that need to get done. If your mornings normally involve a lot of tasks that slow you down, do them the night before to save yourself time and stress in the morning.  Pick out your clothes and shoes. Fill the kettle or set up the coffee machine with timer. Cook and pack any food you need to bring with you. Pack your bag with everything you normally carry along. Lay out your car keys, bus pass, or whatever essential items you need for getting to your destination. Shower before bed to save time in the morning.

Choose the time, duration, and place for your exercise. Touch base with any friend(s) who may go with you to confirm the date. Pack your gym bag or other necessities the night before.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Identify your defense mechanisms. Accept things about yourself that you can't change. Redirect overly critical thoughts. Resist the urge to play games. Don’t be afraid of rejection.

Answer:
Ask yourself if you ever put up walls to avoid getting hurt. Opening up to someone can feel risky, and it’s okay if you’ve ever been afraid to let someone get too close. Falling in love involves making yourself vulnerable, and understanding your defenses is the first step to lowering them.  If you’ve had relationships in the past, think about times when you avoided getting close to your partner. For instance, maybe you didn't tell them how much you liked them out of fear that they wouldn't feel the same. It’s tough to think about defense mechanisms, especially since they’re usually related to getting hurt in the past. Try to be honest with yourself, and remember that everyone has insecurities and fears. Remember that no one’s perfect, and accept yourself for who you are. Embracing yourself can help make it easier to open up to a romantic partner and fall in love with them.  That said, there’s always room to grow. For instance, you can't make yourself taller or shorter, but you can work on eating healthy and exercising to be your healthiest self. Remind yourself that you’re a great person, and you have a lot of wonderful qualities! Look in the mirror and tell yourself, “You’re a good person, so don’t be afraid to be yourself! Let your guard down, and allow yourself to fall in love.” Everyone has an inner critic, and sometimes self-critical thoughts can become irrational and unrealistic. If you notice yourself thinking things like “You’re no good” or “They’ll never love you,” stop the thought process and remind yourself to stay objective. Playing hard-to-get and withholding feelings are common practices in today’s dating world. However, it’s better to be honest about your feelings. While you don’t have to share every little detail on the first date, try to be authentic instead of playing games.  For instance, if you went on a date with someone and had a good time, tell them. If you want to text, “Thanks for a fun night! I had a great time,” do it. Don’t feel like you have to wait 3 days before calling or pretend you’re not into them to make them chase you. Opening up is an important part of building a close relationship. You don’t have to confess your deepest feelings right away, but you and your partner won’t fall in love by playing games with each other. Loving someone who doesn’t love you back hurts, but it’s something everyone experiences. You can move on from pain, even if it seems impossible in the moment. However, you’ll miss out on everything great about being in love if you never let yourself take the risk. If you do put yourself out there and get turned down, don’t see it as the end of the world. Relationships fizzle for lots of reasons. Being incompatible with someone doesn’t mean there’s something wrong with you.
