In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you're trying to study or work, bring your laptop or books with you to a public place. Many people go to libraries, cafes, and parks when they need to focus. If you have a car, simply driving to a parking lot or a garage can be the escape you need. If you're avoiding your sibling for other reasons, try going for walks or hanging out with friends more often. Try your best to make yourself busy outside of your home. If you have your own bedroom, locking the door is the best way to ensure your privacy, if you're allowed to. This will cut down on any unwanted intrusions into your space. This is especially important if your sibling has a bad habit of not knocking or is too young to realize that it's the polite thing to do. This is your best option if you share a room or will be with your sibling on a long car ride. If you use headphones, just be careful not to raise the volume too loud or you may damage your ears. Active noise-cancelling headphones can block out noise without the need for high volumes. Deep breathing exercises work to relax you and may be a great help if you find yourself getting angry or annoyed at your sibling. Inhale slowly through your nose while mentally counting to five. Exhale slowly through your nose. Repeat this until you're calm enough that your sibling no longer bothers you.
Summary: Get out of the house more. Lock your bedroom door. Wear headphones or earplugs. Reduce stress through deep breathing exercises.

If you stumble upon an artist with work that you’re interested in, contact them via email or show up at a gallery opening and tell them that you’re interested in potentially buying their work. They’ll likely have more work that they’d be able to show you, and you’ll be able to learn more about a specific piece that you’re interested in buying.  Most artists have personal websites where they showcase and sell their work. Some artists will be resistant to working with a buyer that wants to buy their art as an investment, especially if they’re well-established in their field. Many established artists have representatives and agents that deal with potential buyers. If you know an artist is being represented, contacting them directly can come off as an insult to the artist. Gallery owners make a living buying and selling art. They are likely to be regularly purchasing or soliciting investable art. Ask gallery owners to keep an eye out for work that you might be interested in buying. You’ll be the first person they call when they come across a potential investment. Evaluators are professional appraisal experts, and their estimates hold quite a bit of weight when it comes to selling or buying art. A professional evaluation will put potential buyers at ease, since they’ll know that they aren’t overpaying for a work. Inversely, a professional evaluation will let you know whether or not a potential purchase is worth considering at its available price. Most galleries and studios have specific evaluators that they work with. Ask about evaluations when inquiring about a piece’s price. Gallery owners will appreciate the ability to offer a piece to their clients before you put it on the open market without their assistance. Apart from being a courtesy, it’s possible that the original gallery owner will have buyers readily available for you, since they’re in contact with other people that are likely to have the same tastes in art. An easy way to test whether an evaluation is accurate or not is to try listing the work online for a price higher than its been evaluated at. You may be able to get a higher price than you’d expect by using a non-traditional venue to sell your work. This will also give you a sense if the original appraisal is an accurate representation of what a piece of art is worth at the current moment. Lumas, Society 6, SaatchiArt, and Artfinder are all reputable online venues to sell works of fine art. If the international market takes a dip during a recession or slow period, don’t lose your cool. The market for fine art can be fickle, but that doesn’t mean that you should sell at the first sign of trouble. Fine art is usually a long-term investment, and you should generally hold on to assets during tumultuous periods in the market. If you haven’t gotten an evaluation that you’re happy with and the market isn’t particularly strong, hold on to your investment. Holding on to an asset is the best way to let it appreciate over time, especially if you’ve got your hands on a piece created by an up-and-coming or well-established artist.  It can take time for a work to appreciate in value, so be patient! You may end up waiting for quite some time if you want to get high prices for your work, so don’t buy a piece expecting to always sell it off right away.

Q: Using a spray bottle lets you target specific parts of your shoe. This is super helpful if your boots aren't all leather and you've only got a few spots to hit. If you don't have a spray bottle, you can use a sponge or an old rag to dampen your boots. Don't be afraid to get them nice and soggy, because any dry parts simply won't shrink. Spray from about 5 inches (13 cm) away to avoid making a big mess. Holding your dryer about 6 inches (15 cm) in from the boots, slowly and evenly pass over each one until they're both bone dry. The key here is to be gentle — holding the dryer too close (or running it too hot) can absolutely wreck your boots. The parts you dry first will shrink the most, so start with the parts of the shoe that are loosest on your feet. If either boot is still too lose, spray and dry the boots again in the same way. Repeat until the boots fit properly. The conditioner will keep your leather from cracking or peeling following the heat from the blow dryer. Feel free to use lots of the conditioner to make your boots really shine.
A: Fill up a spray bottle with hot water. Spray the leather outer surfaces of your boots. Blow dry the outside of the boots with a hair dryer on low speed. Try on the boots to see how they fit. Rub leather conditioner into the boots.
