Summarize the following:
Virtually all Android devices come with Google Maps preinstalled, called "Maps." The Google Maps app can provide turn-by-turn directions based on your device's GPS signal.  If you don't have a Maps app, you can download Google Maps for free from the Google Play Store. Just search "maps" and it will be the first result. Google Maps is often considered the best choice for Android devices, as it integrates well with the operating system and is consistently being updated and upgraded.   This typically happens if you're searching for a store with multiple locations, or an incomplete address.  You'll see these as tabs across the top of the map. By default, Google Maps will select the route with the shortest projected drive time. Turn up your Media volume if you can't hear the directions.

summary: Tap the Maps app on your Android device. Tap the Search bar at the top of the screen. Type the address or destination you want to go to. Tap the exact location if multiple results appear. Tap the Drive button to see driving routes. Tap the different transportation options to view other routes. Tap a grayed-out route on the map to select it instead. Tap the Start button to begin the navigation. Follow the directions on the app to reach your destination.


Summarize the following:
A crew sock that comes past your ankle will work well for this, but you can also use a knee sock as well. Do not use an ankle sock; it won't be long enough to drape around your neck. Plan on using about 2 to 3 cups (370 to 555 grams) of rice. You can pour the rice straight into the measuring cup; if the cup isn't big enough to hold all the rice, use another container that has a spout. This will make it easier to pour the rice. Place the pillow into the fridge or freezer to keep it nice and cool. When you need to use it, drape it around your neck. Most socks have a natural arch to them, so you can drape this part around the back of your neck. You can also heat the pillow up in the microwave at 1-minute intervals until it reaches the temperature you want. Shake the pillow between each interval.

summary: Get a clean, colorful sock. Pour enough uncooked rice to fill your sock into a measuring cup. Use the pillow.

Write out what is bothering you, brainstorm how many different ways you can approach the problem, assess the pros and cons of each approach, implement an approach, and evaluate the outcome. Writing out your problems then brainstorming solutions, no matter how far-fetched they may seem, is a sound way of taking steps to solve those problems. Resourcefulness is one of the key factors to overcoming any challenge. Being resourceful includes asking for help so don’t be afraid to turn to your family, friends, or colleagues for assistance. Whether it be how many sales you close at work or how often you cook dinner at home instead of ordering take-out, tracking and evaluating your activities is the best way to witness progress, see what’s working, and fix what’s not helpful. Once you can track and accomplish your goals, you can self-evaluate. Be your own critic. Be objective and realistic when you self-evaluate, and remember, “if it is to be, it’s up to me.” If you find yourself engaging in self-doubt, telling yourself you “can’t do it” or “if only…”, you are buying into an external locus of control and may feel stuck in your present situation. Instead, tell yourself, “I think I can.”  Repeat positive mantras such as “I can do this” or “I’m getting better at this.” Examine your “if only” statements and reword them positively. For example, “if only I had more time” can change to “I can find 10 minutes a day to do yoga.” Believing in yourself is half the battle.
summary: Develop your problem solving abilities. Be resourceful. Self-evaluate. Revise your language.
