In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Any computer that comes with a CD burner will also come with a CD burning program, such as Windows Media Player or Sonic RecordNow. If you do not have a burning program you can find many free ones online, such as ImgBurn, BurnAware, or CDBurner XP. Nearly every modern computer has a CD burner. If you do not know if your computer can burn CDs, check out "Device Manager" in the Start Menu (Windows) or Finder (Mac). Double click on "DVD/CD-ROM Drive," and look for the extension "CD-RW." The RW stands for Re-Write, which means you can burn CDs. On your desktop, make a folder, title it something memorable, and drag all of the podcasts you want to burn into the folder.  If you are having trouble finding them, check the "Downloads" folder, which is the first place they will go if downloaded from the internet. You can drag and drop the files directly from many music players into the folder as well. Make sure that it can fit the audio you plan on burning-- most CDs hold roughly 80 minutes of audio. The CD should be "writable" or "rewriteable," which are simply other expressions for a blank CD. If your audio is too long you have several options:  Convert the songs to mp3s. These files are smaller but sound worse. Not all players can run mp3 files, especially many car stereos. Use multiple CD's. Make smaller folders, one for each CD. Limit each folder to under 80 minutes or so of audio.  Cut the songs into smaller bits. You can use a basic, free audio editing software like Audacity to open the audio, cut it, then save it as two shorter podcasts. They are all different, but most of them have similar interfaces:  Select the files or folder for the CD. Choose your settings (sound quality, mp3 or regular audio, etc.) Burn the CD.
Summary: Download free CD burning software. Make a folder of all the podcasts you desire to burn. Place a blank CD into your CD tray. Open your burning program and follow the instructions.

Organize your life more clearly by keeping a schedule so that you will know where and when you are supposed to be somewhere. This will prevent last minute decisions and keep you active and on track.  Keep track of your exercise routine, when you are meeting family or friends, or even when the dog needs groomed. Everything can be organized to keep you moving forward. Take advantage of time-management web applications (or mobile apps) like Google Calendar to schedule out your daily activities, pay bills, or making appointments. The best part is you can adjust reminder settings so that you the calendar can alert you to do something. Calendars are available just about everywhere nowadays, even on phones. Take advantage of these services and become familiar with them so it becomes routine. Routines are generally good because we do things – brush our teeth, get a shower, comb our hair – because they are good for us and you don’t have to think about doing them. Unfortunately, the same is true for bad habits. It is a good idea to reevaluate the habits in your routine and remove them from your life and replace them with more positive ones.  It is easier to create goods habits than trying to quit bad habits. Therefore, think of any bad habits you have in your routine and replace them the exact opposite habits. That way, your daily routine stays familiar and your new, good habits naturally (over time) replace the bad ones. The benefit of a routine is maintaining the type of lifestyle you want without all the added pressures in making the right decisions. So, you will want to practice healthy and productive habits to make sure your life stays on track. When thinking about the habits of your routine take time to visualize what you want your life to look like on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis and take the necessary steps to make it part of your healthy routine. Skipping important dates, extending deadlines, and finishing tasks at the last second creates havoc. This type of lifestyle leads to missed opportunities to grow as an individual and miss meeting friends and colleagues for work and social functions. You will also see work piling up at your desk at work.  Try not to miss even the small things. Of course, it is okay if you slip up once in a while but if you continue to miss many small things it adds up quickly and you get derailed once again. When a routine or activity cannot be fully completed, try to do as much of it as you possibly can so that it remains part of your schedule. For example, if you cannot exercise, then walk fast to wherever you going; not enough time to write an article, then write a paragraph; and no time to cook dinner, then just make a salad.

One-sentence summary -- Set reminders. Maintain a routine. Stick to a schedule.

Problem: Article: “You” statements sound accusatory and argumentative. Sounding accusatory will put your parents on guard. Your parents will be much more open to what you are saying if you use “I” statements to get your point across. For example, instead of saying, “Since I came home, you keep telling me to do my chores, but I have a lot of homework to do. Calm down!” Say, “I’m feeling pressured because I have a lot of homework to do. Once I finish my homework, I will do my chores.” Try to avoid screaming and yelling at your parents if you disagree with a rule or something they have said. If you find yourself becoming angry, count to three in your head and take a deep breath Then respond as calmly as possible. Keep in mind that your parents just want to protect and care for you. Yelling and screaming is a sign of disrespect that will only create a wall between you and your parents. It is also hard to listen to someone who is yelling and screaming. Instead of arguing over a rule you disagree with, try to explain to your parents why you think it is unfair or out of date. Tell your parents that you are open to negotiating the rule if they are. Say, for example, “I think that limiting my hang out time with my friends to one night during the weekend is unfair if I have all of my chores and homework done. If I finish all of my chores and homework for the week, may I go out with my friends more than once during the weekend?” Your parents no doubt have a lot of opinions on a lot of topics, often based on their own life experiences. While you may not agree with everything they say, putting down their ideas will only create hostility between you and your parents. If you disagree with something, then explain why you disagree instead of putting them down. For example, instead of saying, “That’s a dumb idea,” say, “I disagree with what you are saying because you are not seeing my side of the story. Can I tell you my side before you make any decisions?”
Summary:
Use “I” statements instead of “you” statements. Remain calm if you disagree. Negotiate a rule if you disagree with it. Avoid putting your parents' beliefs and ideas down.
