Article: If you find your mind racing before a bed or while you're trying to work on something else, take a moment to organize your thoughts. Write down the things you need to get down on a to-do list. Put any ideas down in a notebook or computer file for that purpose. Jot any questions or thoughts down on a notepad. Once you've taken a few minutes to organize your thoughts on paper or a screen, your mind will be freer to work on other tasks. Another helpful writing technique is to make writing in a journal a part of your nightly routine. Taking time to write about your thoughts and feelings can have a similar effect to telling someone about them; that is, it helps draw out some of the tension and anxiety. Don't think you have to write about anything specific--just start writing, and see what comes out. It's tempting in today's busy world to try to do more than one thing at a time. However, your brain isn't built to work like that; rather, it's built to focus on one task at a time. If you try to focus on more than one task, your work becomes sloppier and you'll feel mentally disheveled. When you have too much information coming in, it can feel overwhelming. Try to develop a system to sort through information as it comes in, only keeping the important stuff. The extraneous details just bog down your mind. One way to know what's important is to listen to what's being repeated, as usually only the important stuff gets that treatment.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Write pressing thoughts down. Use a journal. Focus on one task at a time. Learn to sort information.

Problem: Article: Those willing to absorb a bit more risk may decide to invest in gold futures. However, it is important to note that such a strategy isn’t so much “investing” as it is speculating, which equates to gambling in some respects.    Term of Investment varies. In general, investing in gold futures is like making a short-term prediction of what the price of gold will soon be. However, many savvy investors invest and re-invest in gold futures over a period of years.  Nature of investment: High risk. There is high volatility associated with gold futures, and many inexperienced investors have lost money on them.  Profile of Investor: Futures are primarily for seasoned investors. Very few novices make money this way. Futures allow you to control a larger amount of gold than you have in cash. capital that you can afford to lose. If the price of gold drops, you could end up owing more than you invested once commissions are added. Gold futures are legally binding agreements for delivery of gold in the future at an agreed upon price. For example, you can buy 100 oz. of gold for a two-year contract worth $46,600 for as little as three percent of the value, or $1,350.  The commodity trading firm charges a commission for every trade. Each trading unit on the COMEX (Commodity Exchange) is equivalent to 100 troy ounces. Electronic trading on the Chicago Board of Trade (e-CBOT) is another way to trade gold. Then you can collect your earnings or pay your losses. An investor can exchange a futures position for physical gold, referred to as EFP ("exchange for physical"). However, most investors offset their positions before their contracts mature instead of accepting or delivering physical gold. When you buy a futures contract for a fraction of the actual cost of the assets involved, you are basically betting on a small change in the price of the assets. You can make a lot of money buying gold futures if the value of gold goes up relative to your currency, but if it goes down, you can lose everything you invested and possibly more (if your futures contracts do not simply get sold to someone else when you do not have enough money down). This is a way to hedge a risk or speculate but not in itself a way to build savings.
Summary: Think ahead. Open a futures account at a commodity trading firm. Invest Buy a gold futures contract. Wait for the contract to end.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Box window fans have flat sides and blow air in a single direction, which makes them ideal for blowing a steady stream of air into or out of your home. Visit your local hardware store or home-improvement store and look at their box window fan selection. While other types of fans, like circular rotating fans, are great for moving air around inside your home, they’re less effective at bringing in air from outside. A larger fan will move more air than a smaller fan. Look for fans that will take up at least 2/3 of the horizontal width of your window frame. Make sure that the fans also fit within the lower portion of your window when the window pane is fully opened. Square fans aren’t too expensive, so plan to pay $15-30 USD per fan.  If you need to, measure the dimensions of your windows and take a tape measure with you to the hardware store so you can measure the fans as well. Avoid fans that are too large for the window. If you position them near the window and outside the window frame, they’ll fall over. When you install the fans, some will be situated to blow cool air inward and others will blow hot air outwards. It’s best to have the same number of fans blowing in each direction.  Bear in mind that setting up 2 or 3 smaller, less powerful fans is roughly equivalent to 1 large, powerful fan. If you have an uneven number of windows and can’t have equivalent fans blowing inward and outward, it's better to have more blowing inward. This creates a slight positive pressure inside the home, which prevents dust and insects from coming in when the doors are opened.

SUMMARY: Choose square box window fans rather than other types. Select the largest fans that fit inside your home’s windows. Purchase an even number of fans to maximize airflow.

You will be wearing the shirt with the neck around your chest, just below the armpits. The neck hole needs to be big enough to accommodate this. Something that is 3 sizes too big for you would be ideal.  The shirt needs to be long enough to cover your hips and upper thighs. Pull your head, shoulders, and arms through the neck hole of the shirt. Tug the shirt down so that it sits around your chest, just below your armpits. The arms should be hanging loosely at your sides. If the shirt feels too tight, take it off. Cut the collar off, then put it back on again. Grab both arms of the T-shirt, and pull them behind your back. Tie them into a tight knot so that they cinch the extra fabric. If you are worried about the knot coming undone, tie a second knot. Grab both arms and pull them in front of your chest. Tie them into a tight knot, right under your bust, so that they cinch the extra fabric. Leave the dress as-is, or pair it with a cute cardigan. Tuck the arms into the shirt so that you can't see them anymore. Choose a belt that looks nice with your shirt, and wrap it around your waist.  If you want to turn the sleeves into pockets, pull them out, then sew or safety-pin the sleeve openings shut. Tuck the sleeves back into the shirt when you are done. The pockets will end up being a little above your waist. This all depends on how wide the shoulders of your T-shirt were.
