The sunken area beneath coil burners is called the drip pan. This part of the stove tends to get dirty quickly. Save yourself time and effort spent cleaning by using drip pan liners, which are available at most supermarkets and grocery stores. Save money by making your own drip pan liners out of aluminum foil. Layer the bottom of your drip pan with the foil and discard the foil when it becomes dirty. Every time the cooktop cools, you should wipe it with a clean, lint-free cloth. This will keep your stove looking neat and well maintained. It also helps to prevent heavy buildup that can be time-consuming to remove. Set a time every day you can make it a habit to lightly clean the stove. This will make it easier for you to remember to do regularly. Even cleaning messes as they occur, over time, spills and spatter will build up on the surfaces of your stovetop. Keeping up with your day to day light cleaning, however, should make a once a month deep-cleaning fast and relatively easy.

One-sentence summary -- Prevent messes by using liners beneath the burners. Wipe up messes as they occur. Deep-clean your stove regularly.

Q: Starting a meaningful talk with forced conversation starters is awkward and could make your girlfriend feel like you’re putting her on the spot. Try to engage her in small talk, and let the conversation naturally progress into deeper topics. For example, you might start off by just talking about your days at school or work. You could then go deeper by asking her, “If you could change anything about your day, what would it be?” Getting to know how your girlfriend thinks about the future will help you both get a feel for your relationship’s longevity. Early on in a relationship, understanding her hopes and dreams will help you get to know her better. As your relationship matures, knowing each other’s future plans will help you decide if you’re compatible in the long run.  Ask her things like, “Where do you see yourself in five years? What’s your dream job? Do you want a family someday? How many kids do you see yourself having?” Think about your own answers to these questions, and share them openly and honestly with your girlfriend. Don’t interrogate her. Try to keep the conversation two-sided and be willing to share answers to your own questions as well. Have regular conversations about your relationship and share your respective feelings about its status. Start conversations by asking your girlfriend questions about how your relationship has progressed over time. Ask each other, “What was the first thing that convinced you we should start dating? What are the biggest changes in me that you’ve noticed since we started dating? What are my strengths and weaknesses as a partner? Where can I improve?” Try to keep a detached, calm tone when conversations about your relationship get deep. If you identify areas where you can both be better partners, keep an open mind and don’t take things personally. Focus on building a stronger relationship instead of criticizing each other.   If you want to tell your girlfriend about something she does that bothers you say, "Please don't think I'm just being critical for the sake of it. I care about you and our relationship, and I just want us build the best partnership possible." If your girlfriend lets you know about something you can work on, take responsibility for it and, if necessary, ask for more information about how can you be a better partner. Maintaining eye contact and nodding at appropriate moments are basic and essential ways of conveying your interest and attention. Try to keep your body relaxed, but don’t slouch so much that you seem bored or disinterested. You should keep your arms and legs uncrossed, face the other person, and sit or stand at the same level so neither of you looks down on the other.
A: Warm up with small talk. Ask her about her dreams and future plans. Talk about your relationship. Keep the tone calm when you discuss your relationship. Use your body language to convey your interest.

Article: Regular exercise can have minor antidepressant effects; exercise can also relieve stress, key ingredients to having a better life. Exercise has these benefits in part because it releases endorphins, one of the brain's "feel good" hormones. When you exercise, put on some tunes that motivate you to workout harder. That said, be sure to listen to your body and don’t overdo it! When you eat unhealthy it can make you feel negative. Therefore, it is important to eat healthy foods if you want to improve your life. Eat things like lean meats, nuts, fruits, and vegetables for the best effect and remember to have a balanced diet (i.e., all things in moderation). A lack of sleep can contribute to lower well-being by causing feelings of fatigue, sadness, and anxiety. If you are having trouble falling asleep, try making your room darker. Also try getting rid of sources of noise and/or wear earplugs. Do your best to stick to a sleep routine every night. Take note of how many hours of sleep you need per night to feel rested upon waking; try to get that many hours each night. Caffeine can make you feel anxious, which can contribute to feelings of stress and anxiety. If your definition of a better life means less stress and anxiety, try cutting back on caffeine. Keep in mind the trade-offs. If you notice that you are more productive on a certain amount of caffeine and value your productivity more than some feelings of anxiousness, then perhaps cutting back on caffeine isn’t the best option for you. Experiment with different amounts and get a sense of how doing so changes how happy you feel about your life. Counseling or psychotherapy can help people not only deal with problems, but also to thrive and have better lives. To find a psychotherapist or counsellor, visit: http://locator.apa.org/ Quit just doing your same old habits and routines. Instead, seek out a zone of "optimal anxiety." Studies have shown that having some anxiety/arousal actually facilitates brain functioning and performance on a variety of tasks.  Ways to get out of your comfort zone include trying a new hobby, making new friends, or setting slightly tougher to achieve goals for yourself than normal. Keep in mind your values and your personality here though. If your definition of a better life involves primarily having time to yourself to self-reflect and you find yourself to be quite introverted, then perhaps getting out of your comfort zone isn't as important for you. That said, you may not know until you give it a try! Give some of your time to help others out and you may find that both your physical and mental well-being increases. There are a number of ways you could volunteer your time. You could, fore example:  Volunteer in a food kitchen for the homeless. Call up any cause you care about and ask them if you can volunteer your time to help. Get in touch with your local library and ask if they need tutors in an area in which you are skilled. Get in touch with your local political representative and ask about helping with campaign work for causes you care about.
