In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you’re supposed to be somewhere, aim to be there right on time. It is better to be early than late. If you know you might run into traffic or other obstacles, leave early to give yourself extra time.  Being punctual is one of the best ways to show that you are dependable. Even being just a few minutes late can send the wrong message. Set alarms on your phone to wake you up in the morning or to remind you when you need to leave. If you know you need a lot of time in the morning to get ready, make sure that you wake up early enough to get it done. If you receive an email, phone call, text message, or letter, read it and respond to it within 24 hours. By doing so, you'll make sure that they get the proper response and that you don't forget to reply to important matters.  If someone calls and you’re not available, try sending them an email or text message asking if you can call them back later. Set aside 30 minutes in the morning and afternoon to answer all of your emails. This will help you answer them if you are busy throughout the day. Occasionally making a mistake doesn’t mean that you are not reliable. Just make sure that you accept responsibility for all of your mistakes and offer to fix them as soon as possible.  For example, if you promised to pick up groceries on the way home and forgot, you might offer to go back out and get them. If you made an error on a document at work, tell your boss that you will fix it right away. Whether you’re helping your friend assemble a TV stand or preparing a presentation at work, always do your best work. Go above and beyond if possible to show that you can perform good work consistently. For example, if you are helping someone put up pictures on their wall, take the time to measure out the space and to level out each frame. Don’t just put a nail in the wall and walk away. It’s hard to be dependable when you’ve taken on too many responsibilities for one person to handle. Don’t be afraid to ask friends, family, or coworkers for help when you’re feeling overwhelmed. For example, you might say to your spouse, “Can you pick up the kids from school today? I promised my boss I would get this report done by the end of the day, so I may need to work a little late.” Changing your habits takes time and commitment. In order to change your habits permanently, you will need to keep at it over a long period of time. Studies show that, on average, it takes 66 days of daily, persistent effort to change a habit. It’s likely that you’ll have setbacks along the way, and that’s ok—just try to identify what caused the setback, so that you can avoid it happening again.
Summary: Show up on time. Respond to emails and messages quickly. Fix your mistakes in a timely manner. Deliver good work every time. Delegate tasks, when you need to. Be patient with yourself.

Hold the trout’s head in one hand and bend it backward. The neck will pop apart from the rest of the spine so you can remove it easily. Keep the head attached to the body. This will make it easier to remove the fins later on. Start your blade on the inside of the fish near the head. Place the tip between the meat and ribs and slowly work your blade towards the tail. Keep the knife as close to the bones as possible so you don’t waste any of your fillet. Once you have one side finished, flip the fish over and cut the other side away from the ribs. Trout are smaller fish, so use a blade that’s 4 inches (10 cm) or less so you have more control of where you’re cutting. Pull the fillet away from the ribs and put your knife through the skin between the meat and the bones. Keep the blade as close to the spine as you can as you work the knife down through the tail. Flip your fish over and make the same cut on the opposite side. Once both sides are cut, pull the ribs out of the fish and throw them away. Some small pin bones may stick in your fillet once it’s cut. Work the blade of your knife underneath the bones to cut them away. Set the trout upside down so the meat of the fillets is facing up. Put your knife through the skin near the front of one fillet to cut the fin off. Pull the knife across the fish’s neck and the skin around the other fin to remove everything in one piece. Throw the head away or use it to make fish stock. Run your knife along the top of each fillet where it connects to the dorsal fin. Once you cut each side, pull the fin out and throw it away. Leave the skin on the fillet for when you cook your trout, regardless of whether you try smoking, grilling or pan-frying it.
