article: You’ll be working outdoors for this job and you’ll have to let the canoe dry overnight a couple of times. Make sure you start working on a clear, dry day when there are at least 2 more rain-free days coming up. You can move the canoe inside a garage or other covered storage space overnight if you want, but you’ll still have to let the canoe dry for several hours after each coat of paint before you can pick it up to move it. Pick an outside area with plenty of room to work, such as a clear yard or driveway. Set up 2 sawhorses and flip the canoe upside down on top of them to expose the entire hull for painting. You need to work somewhere outside since you will be using water to clean the canoe as well as making a mess when you sand it. It’s also best to work outside for the ventilation because you’ll be working with chemicals as well. Set up your power washer near the canoe and connect it to a hose. Turn it on and spray down the entire canoe with plain water to remove any dirt and grime.  If you don’t have a power washer, you can rent one at many home improvement centers or hardware stores. Make sure to wear eye protection and closed-toe shoes while operating a power washer. If you are using a gas-powered pressure washer, wear earplugs as well since they are louder than electric power washers. Wait for all the water from power washing to evaporate. Run your hands over the hull of the canoe when it looks dry to make sure. You can wipe down the hull with a towel and then let it air dry for a shorter time if you want to speed up the process.

article: Often, doing what you love means living on less income.  Streamline your expenses by making sure you aren't spending money on things that don't serve your interests. You don't have to quit your job to follow your passion, but be realistic about how much you can expect to make doing your passion full-time, at least in the beginning, and get used to living on that amount. Get rid of possessions you don't need or use.  Having too much 'stuff' causes mental heaviness.  Opening up your physical space makes room for good things to enter your life. Just like getting rid of things unburdens your life, so does cutting out unnecessary wastes of time that you could spend doing something you love.  This doesn't mean you can cut out all tasks you don't enjoy, of course.  It means scheduling those things you have to do so you don't waste time procrastinating and end the day feeling unaccomplished. Start making to-do lists to stay focused.  Do those things that have been on your mind the longest and the ones you least want to do first.  Getting them off your mind allows you to focus attention on the things you care about most.  Start saying no when you really want to say no.  Unless doing something fulfills you in some way, it is just draining your energy from following your interests. Reject the word “should” from your vocabulary.  Saying, “I 'should' do such and such” holds you back from trying out things that may be scary, but also may be worth the risk.

To get better at MMA, you'll need to become proficient in basic strikes and grappling techniques. The basic punches include hooks, jabs, straights, and uppercuts.  You'll also want to learn basic push and roundhouse kicks. In grappling, you'll want to learn the different positions and how to do basic moves like armbars, triangle chokes, and the rear naked choke. Practice mastering these basic techniques before advancing to more elaborate techniques. Going to class regularly will keep your skills sharp and can keep you in shape. Try not to take too much time off in between classes when you're starting off. Go to at least three classes per week and then pace yourself to see how many classes you feel comfortable going to each week. While being sore is natural, you don't want to overdo it. When you get physically fatigued, overly sore, or injured, take time off from training and let your body recover. If you don't let your body recover from training, you can become weaker and less focused. Fatigue, weakness, decreased performance, and constant muscle soreness are signs of overtraining. Sparring is the portion of your training when you get to test your technique on a fellow classmate. Don't be scared to exchange punches and kicks with your classmate. When sparring, go in with an end goal in mind, like scoring a flush roundhouse kick or working to improve your distance making with your jab.  Work on perfecting the basics on a moving target, and remember to pace yourself. The goal of sparring is to perfect your technique, not to hurt your opponent. It's good manners to shake your opponent's hand before and after sparring. Sparring partners will often try to match your intensity, so expect to get what you give. Rolling is when you practice your grappling techniques on a classmate without incorporating strikes. Grappling and wrestling can be grueling, and it takes a lot of endurance, so take your time and pace yourself. Practice getting out of tough situations, gaining superior positioning, and trying various submissions. Even though training and practicing technique is essential, it's also important that you work to improve your strength and endurance. Squats, deadlifts, and bench presses combined with regular sprinting, jump rope, and stretching will make you stronger, quicker, and more flexible. Designate one or two days a week in your training to work on your strength and conditioning along with your technique training. Make sure to check with the local governing body for fighting sports in your state before you sign up to compete so that you're aware of all rules and regulations. Typically when you're ready to fight, your gym or trainer will help you register for an organized competition. Talk to them and make a decision on which kind of competition or fight you want to compete in. Keep track of the things you're eating by writing down the different meals that you have throughout the day and counting your calorie and nutrient intake. You'll want to hydrate yourself and maintain a diet that's high in protein and carbohydrates. If you're training heavily, try to maintain a diet of 1 gram (0.035 oz) of carbs and protein per pound that you weigh. Your diet should also contain plenty of omega-3 fats and traditional vitamins and minerals.
