Problem: Article: Some parts of your schedule are going to be inflexible, such as class times and work days. Fit homework and studying in when you're not in class or at the office. Build a routine that you can stick to, but are able to adjust if other important things come up. As a working student, you have to be ready to adapt to new assignments, unexpected errands, and sudden work crises that need to be addressed immediately. Make enough studying time in your schedule so that if something comes up, you can shift it into another slot during the week.  Get a calendar. Write out what you need to accomplish each and every day. When you accomplish a task, check it off with a pen. This way you'll be able to still see how much you've accomplished, while keeping your future tasks organized. If you have other members in your household, keep your calendar posted where everyone can see it. That way, they can avoid making plans that involve you during times when you aren't available. A planner is especially useful if you have a lot of appointments and your days are so varied that you have trouble keeping track of your schedule. Fill in all of your fixed appointments - class times, work times, due dates, and familial obligations. This way you'll know exactly when your free time is, so you can schedule studying sessions or leisure time. Most smartphones have calendar and to-do list functions on them. Apple and Google products have the capability to sync with your laptops and desktop computers so that you can share your schedule between devices. If you add something to your calendar in your smartphone - a new assignment's due date for class, perhaps - it will appear on your home device as well. Talk about your schedule with  your friends and family. Give them a glimpse into what the life of a working student looks like and they might just empathize - perhaps, they'll even try to make your life easier. At the very least, they'll know when to expect you and when to leave you alone to conquer your other goals. Sign up for an online calendar and send the URL to the people who depend on knowing where you are and when. You can use a special calendar site, or just share a Google Calendar with them. Figure out what steps you need to make it to where you want to go and set goals for yourself. Do you need 5 courses to finish a program? Find out when they're offered and create a multi-year schedule. Every school is different. Go see an advisor and get them to help you map out your entire program, so you know what to expect. As you fill out your schedule also include time for your family and family obligations. Create a separate column for things you need to do to keep your house in order, your spouse happy, and your children well. Schedule things like laundry and family meal times alongside studying and other work related activities. If you have children, make sure their needs are met. You'll have to take them to daycare/school. Some jobs and schools even provide daycare for their students. They'll need to be fed and you'll need to spend as much time as possible with them. Make sure that you don't neglect your children while going to school. You want to maintain your friendships. At the beginning of every week, schedule something fun to do with your friends for the upcoming weekend. It will show that you are still making an effort to be friends and it will give you something to look forward to during the week. With all of your responsibilities, you probably have a hard time finding time to get everything done, let alone give yourself any down time. However, in order to avoid burnout and stress, it's important to schedule some "me time" every week. Even if it's just an hour where you sit in a coffee shop and read a book for fun with no kids around, make yourself a promise that you will make time to keep yourself happy and healthy.
Summary: Create a flexible schedule. Use a planner. Try a smartphone. Share your schedule. Plan your academic path. Make time for your family. Schedule a weekly social activity. Make time for yourself.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Even if you don't have that many wines on your menu, having an organized, detailed list can help customers feel less intimidated about asking about wines. Plus, it gives your customers all the options they have, instead of just a few recommendations from servers. Consider having an abbreviated list of popular wines for those who don't want to dig through a long list. When deciding what wines to sell at your restaurant, make sure to include a variety. Of course, you want to have more wines that go with your type of food, but including a variety of brands, regions, flavors, and sweetness will help serve all your customers.  The bulk of your menu should be popular wines that sell well. However, you can also include a few unusual wines that will appeal to the connoisseurs who visit your restaurant. Change up the menu from time-to-time, as it will bring a freshness to the menu. You can sell new wines early on with a discount to get customers hooked, plus have your servers push those particular wines. Selling wine by the glass can be more profitable, as it usually has a higher markup, plus it services people who just want a single glass. However, selling wine by the bottle can lead to more sales overall, as customers feel they are getting a deal by buying the bottle, buying more than they would by the glass. Therefore, make sure you find ways to sell both at your restaurant. Servers should know the wines in and out, as well as be able to present and open a bottle with ease. If a server is new and doesn't have wine experience, have them open the by the glass wines for the bartender to learn the technique.  Provide training on ways to recommend wines, such as what wines go best with what types of food. If you can't provide the appropriate training yourself, have an outsider come in to train your staff on a regular basis. Tastings can help your servers learn the wines. Have weekly tastings where your servers can try out different wines. They'll be more knowledgeable about the wines. Plus, when they find wines they like, they'll be more motivated to sell them. Another way to help educate servers is to have them pick out a couple of wines each day to learn about. In addition, once they learn about the wines, those can be the ones they push that day. You can have weekly or daily contests to see which server can sell the most. You can break it down into categories (most variety, most bottles, highest sales) or just stick to highest sales. Have a small reward for the winner. One way to help someone choose a wine is to offer a comparison of both an expensive bottle and an inexpensive bottle. The idea is not to put down the inexpensive bottle, but rather to emphasize the good qualities of both wines. That way, the customer can make a decision about what they can afford. Most vendors have been around the block a few times. Since they sell to a variety of restaurants and venues, they've likely learned a few tricks about selling wines along the way. If they offer advice, seriously consider it for your restaurant. You'll need to follow certain laws when selling wines at a restaurant. These laws can differ from state to state, so you'll need to look up the laws in your own state. However, some basic rules apply across all states.  For example, most states have a minimum age for who can sell alcohol. Often, 18-year-olds are allowed to sell alcohol under the supervision of a 21-year-old. Get the appropriate licenses. In pretty much every state, you need a license to sell alcohol. Check with your city and state to learn the licenses you need to operate legally. Check IDs. When selling wine, you'll need to check IDs to determine if the person is the legal age to drink (21).
Summary:
Have a wine list. Include a variety of wines. Sell wine by both the glass and the bottle. Train your servers well. Have selling contests. Teach servers to offer comparisons. Take tips from your vendors. Follow the law.
