Problem: Article: . Spend some time thinking about exactly what results you wish to achieve and be as specific as you can. Establish a time frame for achieving each part of your final goal. Set your sights on a goal that is reasonable to accomplish.  As you set your goal, ask yourself not only what you want to accomplish, but why you want to accomplish it. Figuring out what drives your goal will help give you purpose in the beginning, and motivation as you move toward your target. If you want to lose weight, for example, your reasons may include wanting to feel more comfortable in your own skin, be more physically capable, and feel better about your appearance. It helps to write down your goal on a prominent place, such as your wall calendar. Divide the goal by a set of specific tasks that will take a certain amount of time to complete. A 1-hour goal could be broken up into 15-minute segments. Or, divide the task in segments, such as a particular number of files to sort each day. Establishing many small goals within a single larger one will keep you motivated and on track. You might even start by setting aside 5 minutes each day to work on your goal. Then, raise this up to 10 minutes each day by the second week and so on. If you have a swamped schedule, this will make working on your goal simply part of your routine and you are more likely to do it. If you are trying to save money to buy a house, stick a photo of your dream home to your fridge. If you are trying to pay off your credit card, attach a copy of the bill to your bathroom mirror. If you’d like an award at work, place a copy of last year’s award announcement on your desk. If you already brush your teeth before bed each night, simply add your goal of washing your face right afterwards. You can also water your plants at the same time that you go outside to take out the garbage or grab the mail. Or, drink more water at work by stopping at the cooler each time you leave your desk. Not every goal that you need to achieve, such as paying off a credit card, is going to be riveting. However, you can make it more interesting by turning it into a game with prizes or rewards at certain intervals. You can even make bets about how much you can achieve by when. For example, turn on some music or listen to an audio book if you are working on a repetitive task. It’s very easy to get caught up in the moment and confuse persistence with permission to behave in a negative way. Instead, stay true to the idea of positive persistence. Treat others the way you’d like to be treated. Obey the rules while pursuing success. You’ll find that keeping a positive, pleasant attitude will also make others more willing to help you achieve your goals.
Summary: Set a goal Break the goal down into smaller pieces. Devote a set amount of time each day to your goal. Place a goal reminder in a prominent place. Connect your goal to an already established habit. Keep your goals fun and exciting. Stay true to your values while pursuing your goals.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Corticosteroid creams block certain inflammatory and itch-inducing chemicals in the immune system, and can be applied directly to itchy skin. Antihistamines are primarily used when itchiness is a result of an allergic reaction. They work by blocking the body’s production of histamines, which are involved in the inflammatory response system. Applied directly to itchy skin, topical anesthetics contain ingredients that numb nerve endings, thereby decreasing the sensation of itchiness. If you and your doctor determine that your itch is caused by an underlying psychological, emotional, or stress condition, you may be given Prozac or Zoloft, both of which have proven anti-itch properties. Your doctor may suggest using a topical calcineurin inhibitor, which reduces itchiness by blocking your body’s inflammatory response system. In some cases, your doctor may recommend light therapy, also known as phototherapy. This type of treatment exposes skin to various wavelengths of light in order to block the immune system functions that contribute to inflammation and itching. If your itchiness is the result of a fungal infection such as ringworm or athlete’s foot, your doctor may prescribe an antifungal agent. These can be applied topically or taken orally.
Summary:
Use corticosteroid creams. Take oral antihistamines. Use topical anesthetics. Take antidepressants. Apply topical calcineurin inhibitors. Receive light therapy. Use antifungal agents.
