Q: Flats, dress shoes, and heels are generally safe to wear at most offices. Pairing jeans with sneakers may look unprofessional. To make sure the more casual jeans blend with a more formal setting, pick your best shoes to wear to the office with jeans. For example, go for a pair of dress shoes over something like sneakers or boots. A watch is a versatile accessory that's generally appropriate for the office. It can be paired with most shirts and outfits, so throw on a watch with your jeans to make the whole look more professional. Choose a more conservative watch, however. Very brightly colored watches, or watches with sequins and other flashy embellishments, may not fit into an office setting. Blazers and cardigans can add a little professional flare to any outfit. If you're worried your outfit doesn't look work appropriate, toss on a blazer or cardigan before leaving for the office to give your look a professional feel. For example, wear a black blazer over a sleeveless blouse with a pair of black jeans. If you wear jewelry, stick to professional and simple jewelry. This is generally more office appropriate than big, flashy jewelry. For example, a plain gold chain necklace and gold stud earrings should fit into most offices. Pairing a tie with a button down shirt and jeans will give your outfit a more professional feel. Ties generally signify formality, so a tie can be a great accessory to ensure you stay work appropriate when wearing jeans to the office.
A: Select appropriate footwear. Throw on a watch. Wear a blazer or cardigan. Opt for simple, professional jewelry. Add a tie.

Q: The ideal size of a coop changes drastically, depending on the type of coop and how many chickens you have. Below are some rules of thumb for some of the most common types of chicken coops:   Coop without an outdoor pen: This is the most basic type of chicken coop, consisting only of the physical indoor structure. The chickens will be confined to the indoor space until someone specifically lets them out, so allow at least 5 square feet per chicken.  Outdoor chicken run: This is slightly more difficult to build than the simple coop, but it will allow your chickens more space, as well as the option of being outside. Allow 2 to 3 square feet per chicken for the coop, and at least 4 square feet per chicken for the outside run.  Winter only coop: This coop is used to keep chickens inside during the winter months. Since it is unlikely that the chickens will be allowed outside during sad months, allow between 7 and 10 square feet per chicken. Note that egg-laying hens will also require a nesting area of at least 1 square foot per 4 hens, as well as a roosting area of 6 to 10 inches (15.2 to 25.4 cm) per chicken. Roosts should be at least 2 feet (0.6 m) off the ground (the elevation will keep your chickens dry during wet weather). If possible, place your coop partially underneath a large tree, which will offer shade in the summer and keep your chickens from overheating. Sunlight encourages egg-laying, so try not to place your coop directly in the shade. Alternatively, you can use warm yellow lights inside the coop to increase egg production (white or blue light will have no effect). The more you add inside the coop, the less space the chickens will have. Therefore, it is important to have a clear idea of the objects you will be putting inside so that you can account for the loss of space in your building plans.   Perching Area. Often just a thick stick or piece of wood hung between the walls in the coop, and elevated perch allows for extra space, as well as a comfortable sleeping area for your chickens.   Nesting Area. You can make a nest by stuffing boxes or baskets with straw or sawdust. Without enough nesting space, your chickens will lay eggs on the ground, increasing the likelihood that they will break. Keep in mind that the average chicken will lay an egg every one to two days. The size of your nesting area should reflect both the number of chickens and how often you plan to collect eggs. In general, one nesting area per 4 to 5 hens should be sufficient.Other than the fact that elevated nests will discourage predation, the height of your nests is not as important as the location. Be sure that the nests are placed in a clean, dry place, and that they are separate from the roosting area (or you risk chicken manure on your eggs!).    Ventilation. To avoid disease caused by stale air, proper ventilation systems are necessary. If you plan to build a year-round, closed coop, be sure to include little windows covered in chicken wire to allow for proper air flow.  Dust Boxes. Chickens often clean themselves with dust bathing. To keep your chickens happy and smell-free, consider adding a couple boxes filled with dirt or sand. If you have an unused garage, shed, or even a large dog crate, you may be able to save yourself some work and repurpose it as a chicken coop by adding the amenities mentioned above. If you are building the coop from scratch, choose a plan that fits your needs as described above. The method outlined below will help you build a simple coop, ideal for using in conjunction with an outdoor pen. If that does not fit your needs, you can find hundreds of plans by searching "Chicken coop building plans" in your favorite search engine.  Consider convenience. Remember that you will need to clean out the chicken coop, as well as regularly change the food and water. If you do not want to build a coop that is large enough to stand up in, look for a plan that gives you a few options, such as multiple "access doors." If you decide to repurpose an old structure, avoid lumber that's been coated with lead paint or that was used to house harmful chemicals, or you risk damaging the health of both you and your chickens.
A: Decide on the size of your chicken coop. Choose a location for the coop. Know what you will need to put inside the coop. Decide whether to build a coop from scratch or repurpose an old structure.

Q: Instead of waiting around until you feel like taking a shower, talk yourself into making the resolution that you're going to do it no matter what, and stick to it. Be your own coach. Give yourself encouraging advice and offer affirmation by making inspiring and affirming statements. You'll start feeling more capable as soon as you shift your attitude from "I don't want to" to "I can do this."  Most of the time when people have a hard time making themselves do something, it's because they dread the effort or they're “not in the mood.” Understand that there will always be things you don't feel like doing in life that have to be done nonetheless. Saying your own name can make you feel more empowered by allowing you to step outside of yourself momentarily and creating a sense of personal accountability. Put your pride on the line and start looking at overcoming your reluctance to shower as a way to prove yourself. If you can't even bathe yourself, what else won't you be able to do? It may sound silly, but this is an opportunity for personal growth. Show yourself that you can do what you set your mind to and you'll feel more in control of other areas of your life as a result.  Start making a list of daily goals to accomplish and put showering near the top.  You'll gain a little more willpower and self-control every time you shower when you don't feel like it. Once you manage to make yourself shower, do it again the next day at the same time, then the next day, then the next and so on. Don't let yourself skip a day or beat around the bush until it's too late. After a week or so, your inertia will start to disappear and showering will become just another part of your normal routine.  Set a regular bathing schedule for yourself based on your own needs and preferences. Some people might have to shower everyday, whereas others can get by with only a few showers a week, or even once a week. Pick days and times that will make it easier for you to stick to your schedule. When showering becomes a habit, you'll start to feel like something's missing if you don't take one.
A:
Give yourself a pep talk. Think of it as a challenge. Get in the habit.
