[ "how can I accurately line up large amounts of paper into one nice, uniform neat stack? Hey guys, as a part of my private revision and study I like to make booklets of information and make nice booklets out of them using slide binders. My issue however is that with larger documents its hard to get the paper into a nice and uniform stack for me to put the slide binder on. Is there a trick or a way I can get the paper into a nice uniform stack without creasing the paper and without bits poking out and some sheets higher than others etc? Cheers guys :)", "how can I accurately line up large amounts of paper into one nice, uniform neat stack?

[ "There is a machine that you can buy that kinda jiggles and vibrates large stacks of paper into a very neat pile.\n\nI don't know what it is called but there Is one in my office's print shop.", "Very easy actually. Do what you have to, to get some air btween the sheets, then shepperd them where ever you want to.", "To jog a large stack of paper by hand, pick up the stack, holding it loosely with one hand on each end. Bend the whole stack into a \"U\" shape (not over double, but maybe halfway). Clamp down more tightly with your fingers, then straighten the stack out flat again. The center of the stack should now be thicker than the ends clamped with your hands. This separates the sheets with a little air in between and they will now easily jog by tapping the stack on the table. ", "I have this problem when trying to put the little pin thingies in printed scripts. My solution is to just do like 10 pages at a time and stack them. Works pretty well." ]

[ "Try focusing on one thing at a time, other than keep your head thinking on multiple things. Also you could try to relax yourself a bit more? For more [Go Here](http://www.wikihow.com/Stop-Stuttering)", "Not science at all but maybe the thing in King's Speech might work? The headphone thing, so you don't hear yourself and record your own voice to check for progress.\n\nAgain this is total wild postulation here. No science or facts. Just guessing", "Imagine you're singing your speech. Song is processed by a different part of the brain and so bypasses the problem parts.", "I had a stutter for years in middle and high school. Some people just grow out of it, and I was one of them, though it does still happen when I'm stressed or anxious. But don't feel alone. There is absolutely no correlation between stuttering and relative self-confidence level or intelligence level. In fact we've found very little correlation between it and anything; it's still quite a mystery to us, last I checked.\n\nIn any case, I have two big pieces of advice for you that worked for me:\n\n1. Try to stop caring that you're stuttering. Tell your friends to stop pointing it out, and anyone that tells you, however well meaning, to slow down or relax or start over deserves a glare. They ARE making it worse and if you make that clear, they'll lay off. Over time you won't notice your stutter, and it will start to disappear.\n\n2. Identify your problem sounds and restructure your sentences. For example, starting Ds were a particular problem for me, and they come up a lot. \"Did you do the homework?\" \"Did you go there?\" etc. I learned to rephrase these as, \"Have you done the homework?\" and so forth. This can be tricky, but try to really pay attention to where your stutter happens and minimize them in your speech. Almost every stutterer has certain sounds that are the main problem. It'll become habit after a while not to use them very often, and voila, much less stutter.\n\nI will say that the singing tip someone else mentioned is true, but I find it extremely hard to put into practice, so I'm not sure it's worth much. Some people also find acting eliminates their stutter altogether (famously, the guy who played Xander on BtVS had a bad stutter that he started acting to get rid of).\n\nGood luck! Looking up the research on it made me feel a lot better about it when it was a problem for me.\n\n" ]

[ "A huge part of it is simple *recognition*. It's great that you obviously do recognize it, and that means you're a third of the way there. \n\nThe next part of it is *recognition* **in time**. Are you saying to yourself \"man, I'm being a self-centred prig right now\", or \"man, I sure was a self-centred prig yesterday, now that I've had time to think about it.\" When in conversations, try and pause and analyze your own behaviour to see if you're there. And if you are, swallow your own damn pride and apologize if it's worth apologizing for or wrench the conversation away from it if it's not.\n\nThe final one is *prevention*. And that's where empathy comes in. You indicate your issues are jealousy and thinking about what others think of you... but put yourself in their shoes and ask what they're ACTUALLY thinking and how much it ACTUALLY matters. Is the person doing whatever's making you jealous actually doing it to make you jealous? Are they being unreasonable by doing that event without you or by spending time with those others and not with you? Is their intention to punish you because they don't like you? Probably not. Do your other friends and acquaintances actually think about you as much as you are concerned that they do? And even if they do at times, is it a requirement that you're PERFECT?

Don't make up your mind until you've compared several you like and see what they have to offer.\n\n4. Ask them what they do, specifically, to sell your house. Too many realtors rely solely on putting a sign out front and waiting for people to call. Any good realtor will have multiple advertising methods. You want as many as possible.

[ "I like to use Unisom type sleep aids once one a while if I've had a particularly bad week or two where I just can't sleep. What I do is a three day reset where I pull out all the stops. No caffeine after noon, fasting for 16 hours or so before your desired wake up time (to reset your circadian rhythm, similar to when you have jet lag,) taking a warm bath or shower about an hour before your desired bedtime (because about an hour after being in the warm water, your body temp should drop like it is naturally supposed to when you go to sleep, you are just helping it along,) then take a sleeping pill (whether it be melatonin, or an OTC kind ie. Unisom. Also note that Benadryl is the same ingredient and usually same dose as sleeping pills you can get at the pharmacy, so you can just buy whichever is cheaper, usually the generic equivalent of one or the other,) and while you wait for that to kick in, drink some chamomile or other relaxing herbal tea and maybe read a book. Try to stay away from bright screens.\n\nOnce it is finally bed time, make sure your room is a comfortable temperature and you have no light or sound distractions (some white noise is fine if that helps you.) If you have trouble relaxing use some of the mind exercises that some other posters have mentioned. If a though pops in to your head, picture it being wrapped in to a bubble and being blown aside to deal with tomorrow. If the same thought keeps coming , write it down and tell yourself that it is there for tomorrow.\n\nThis is a lot of work but I find that doing this three nights in a row resets my system for a while, and I end up taking fewer sleeping pills overall. I'm not sure if I left anything out, but obviously you can tweak this to your own needs.

Now I go to bed and read - either a book, or sometimes reddit on my phone - an hour before I actually want to go to sleep. The aim here is to stay away from screens (browsing reddit on my phone works less well) and bright lights that stimulate your brain.\n\nThe other thing I've taken to doing is taking a magnesium supplement just before bed.

Alison Holst gives measurements in American, Edmonds does both American and metric, and they're both littered with little hints and tips about how to make life easier on yourself. They're also designed to make easy, healthy food, assuming minimal starting knowledge.\n\nAside from that, I'd suggest learning what the more common cooking terms mean (stuff like how to whisk an egg, how to fold things together, how to saute, how to fry...)\n\nAnd heck, if you're still living at home get whoever does the cooking to give you a crash course.", "1) Taste all condiments before using them. Experiment with them with a glass of water. Understand how they taste in several ratios and find the best result for you. Also keep testing the taste while you cook. If you feel like it's missing something, it's probably a bit of salt. \n\n2) Your potato theory is simply the matter of increasing the mass within the pot - salt melts in water so basically water takes the salt into the ingredients. This process continues forever so if you put more mass into the pot, of course it gets less salty. I think they told you to put the potatoes since they are easier and faster to cook, while having the capability to \"melt\". As for the hot oil and water, it's a safety issue. Not a food residue issue. Don't do it even if you are suicidal since it won't instantly kill you but it will stick to you due to its viscosity and will burn you slory and deeply.\n\n3) Start from low heat and rise the temperature if you need, but first of all, make sure that the pan is warmed up before putting the ingredients or cooking oil in.\n\n4) Other person also mentions Good Eats - Alton explains basic science of the day's topic, cool and useful gadgets that has multiple uses, simple and easy ways to cook, all while being a comedian. Great way to start learning.\n\n5) Bean Sprouts and pasta are your best friends. Cheap, easy to cook, and tasty. But fyi, Bean sprouts spoil like the end of next day. Cheap but goes very quickly. Pastas last almost forever under right conditions, though." ]

On that note keep a sweater/jacket too for obvious reasons.\n\n* Hands free phone - Its safer and makes talking much more enjoyable.\n\n* Navigation - Makes life 10x easier, you wont have to put your mental cpu toward thinking where to go.and frees up your mind.\n\n* Avoid congested areas if possible - I have 2 options on my daily commute, one is shorter and much more congested and the other is 75 mph the whole way and no traffic but a bit longer distance. I always choose latter, it is much, much less stress and less mental fatigue (believe it or not being in traffic for an hour is pretty mentally strenuous). Congested stop and go traffic is harder on your car, and there is more potential for accidents as well.\n\n* Be courteous to fellow drivers - Its not always easy especially if you live in an area like Los Angeles like i do.

[ "I grew up in a ski resort community in Southern California in the 80s and 90s, and you could make easy cash in the school week by cleaning/prepping the cabins that are weekend rentals there. **Some** of those cabins were people's private cabins that they rented to friends in SoCal for a weekend. Ski tourists are a notoriously raucous bunch of heathens, prone to heavy drinking and wild parties after a day at the slopes, and the cabin owners knew it. A bunch of them had helpfully come up with what we needed to, and printed it out/typed it up. (This was long before the internet.)\n\nHere were our instructions, most of the time: \n\n- Remove ALL toiletries except for some cheap shampoo and soap from the bathrooms, including toothpaste, mouthwash, deodorant, etc. \n- Take down ALL framed pictures. \n- Clean the fireplace, leave only a poker, fireplace broom, and dustpan. DO NOT put firewood inside. (Bugs tend to love that stuff.) \n- Remove ALL alcoholic beverages and drinking glasses from any wet bar or the kitchen. Wipe down any messes left behind by previous renters. Clean kitchen/bar. \n- If any ashtrays are evident, hide them. No sense encouraging the idiots to smoke indoors. \n- Basic hotel-style maid service - clean rooms, change trash, make beds, leave out simple towels, etc. \n- Remove any art or knick-knacks that a drunk idiot would want to play with, such as old shotguns on the mantle, sculptures in the living room, mounted antlers on the wall. \n- Place garbage cans next to front door. \n- All removed items were to be secured in a lockable closet, or a locked shed outside. \n\nNow, to be fair, the worst most of these places suffered was some garbage left behind (empties of wine/beer, pizza boxes), and some cigarette burns on the furniture or rugs. Some of the tourists even left a tip on a counter, like it was a hotel. There were TWO that stuck out in memory that were much worse. \n\nOne of them, someone fell asleep smoking on the living room couch, and the couch caught fire. They managed to put it out, but the cabin was pretty much totaled. Smoke damage from a house fire, even a small one, can be devastating. I double-dipped on that one financially, since I'd already been paid to prep the cabin, and then I got hired by my bro's contracting company to clear out and renovate the smoke damaged cabin after. \n\nThe second one was like an AirBNB horror story. I went back to clean on a Tuesday, knowing the owners had already taken another reservation for the coming weekend. I had to call them and tell them it wasn't possible. There was food literally everywhere in the living room - pasta, pizza, Chinese food - thrown around like they'd had a food fight. One of the front picture windows of the cabin had been smashed. The kitchen was teeming with empty beer and booze bottles, as well as styrofoam cups splattered all over the place. The mattress of the main bed, and the sofas and chairs throughout, had cigarette burns and horrible stains on them. Someone, probably walking in ski boots, had knocked chips out of the tile flooring. A ton of garbage had been burned in the fireplace, including plastic, and the whole place stank of cigars and hell. The owners thanked me, gave me half my normal cleaning fee ($15), and had to hire a professional service to get that cabin right. I do not what, if any, recompense they pursued from the renters. ", "Best piece of advice I can give is let your neighbors know what's going on it A) keeps them from calling the cops when not needed and B) let's them know to call the cops immediately if they see something like a house party going on \n\nSecond, take a photo / video of all your valuables right before you leave and put anything like jewelry or money in a box and give it to a friend to hold on to ", "When you first move in, take a walk through of the house and take photos/video of EVERYTHING. That way, when you move out, you have proof of the condition of the place before you were there.", "1. Lock up all important documents, eg checks, bank statements, etc. My parents had an AirBnB guest who stole, forged, and cashed two checks worth thousands of dollars. Luckily, they got the money back because it was clear that the signature was forged. Still not fun to deal with.\n\n2. Request ID from anyone who shows up with the person who actually made the reservation, and photocopy or scan the ID. AirBnB will have identifying information for the person who made the reservation, but not anyone who they bring along. What happened to my parents was that the guy who stole the checks was not the one who made the reservation, his girlfriend was. So they had no idea what his real name was. It turns out he is a big time scam artist with a webpage dedicated to warning people not to do business with him. He might have thought twice about stealing checks if he knew we had a copy of his driver license. \n\n", "Know the tenants rights for your area.

For starters the suggestion about using a keypad entry instead of a standard lock is spot on - this allows you to give the person the key code ahead of time if you can't be there, as well as change the code as soon as they're out. Extremely convenient for both parties concerned.\n\nSince it sounds like you actually live in the place you're renting out (it's not used JUST for renting purposes) definitely get a good safe or an area where you can keep your own personal things locked up (like checks, jewelry, laptops, social security card, passport, etc...). I stayed in an apartment in Sydney where the owners put a lock on one of the cabinets in the living room, and presumably put and their expensive/private things there. \n\nIn terms of the advice to remove all pictures from the wall and glassware and things... that won't help you actually get any bookings on AirBnB, people generally look for nice places to stay and will skip over your place if you've removed everything useful from it. \n\nAnd absolutely make a welcome binder - filled with details about your place (what's the wifi name and password, where's the circuit breaker, extra linens, etc...), places to go nearby, map of the area, etc...\n\nRead AirBnB's policy on what happens if a guest breaks things/ruins your house - you're definitely covered for a high level of damage (so those photos someone else suggested are a great idea).", "Get a Nest thermostat. You can set a range of temp so they can only change it a few degrees. You can also monitor usage and other things. ", "Don't keep any important documents in your house that you don't want people to read or have. I rented an AirBnB that had an unlocked safe under the sink that contained the deed to the house, the paperwork they used to buy the house (complete with SSNs), and birth certificates. I could easily have ruined these people's lifes with these documents. That was stupid of the owner, and make sure you don't do the same. Don't hide things in drawers thinking they won't find it. Put it in a safe or store it out of the house.\n\nDon't have any perishable food or booze in the house that you want to keep. When you come stumbling back from a night of partying, you're not going to remember if that bag of Doritos was yours or not, you're just gonna eat. Expensive booze? Mix it all into a fish bowl with ice and let's see how much we can drink before we vomit!\n\nIf your place has washer/dryer units, I would keep an empty laundry basket and detergent nearby so people don't get creative. Also, try to empty out a closet so your renters have somewhere to put clothes.\n\nBesides that, AirBnB's insurance covers property damage, theft, and other things. If you are exclusively looking to AirBnB a property, make sure you take out appropriate insurance.", "Do video walk throughs with your phone and post them to a private YouTube channel, before and after each stay if possible. \n\nLabel everything with a label maker. Where the plunger is, where hair dryer goes, where the toilet paper goes, where the crock pot lives, etc. I'm a fan of doing this on the edges of cabinet doors so you can see everything without your place being an eyesore. Also mount thermostat instructions next to it. \n\nThrow out/store in a secured place anything but the bare essentials. People on vacation will be bringing a lot of stuff with them, they will need space to have suitcases open and put their things while they're there. \n\nBuy good quality linens and towels - the cheap ikea stuff falls apart and looks like hell surprisingly fast. \n\nI'm also a fan of white for linens/towels, since they can pop back brightly (and be disinfected) with bleach. \n\nEmail rules/etc ahead of time, but also laminate and part then on the wall or in a binder that is easily available. \n\nSource: used to manage vrbo rentals for a living.

I've heard horror stories of people having airBNB and they get infested with bedbugs because thats how they spread. They spread with travelers and they are a pain in the ass to get rid of. My co worker got bed bugs at a hotel, brought it back to our apartment and we had to take a week off, bag all of our clothes, spent about 18 hours at a laundry mat to dry ALL of our clothes to kill off the bed bugs, got rid of a lot of furniture.

[ "TL;DR: \n\nUse packing tape - **NOT DUCT TAPE** \\- instead of sticky rollers for fabrics, do a quick twenty-minute vacuum **every** two or three days **every** week, and brush your cats.\n\n​\n\n(QUICKLY) REGARDING ONE'S ABODE:\n\nI run a hand-held fluffy blue swiffing device over my tables and counters in the morning as I have my second cup of tea.\n\nTakes less than five minutes, and my cats think I'm playing with them. \n\n​\n\nI do a super-quick vacuum every other day, simply aiming for edges and corners. \n\nTakes about fifteen minutes for my three-bedroom house. \n\n​\n\nOnce per week I do a more thorough vacuuming, going under the furniture and - using a brush attachment - over any uphostlered furniture.\n\nTakes less than an hour.\n\n​\n\nThese three simple cleaning tasks which, altogether, take less than three hours per week, make a **huge** difference, especially when done regularly. \n\nKeep it up and it gets both quicker and easier, and it will also minimize the fur in the air. People with mild cat allergies have little to cope with even when staying overnight in my three-cat house.\n\n​\n\n(EXCESSIVELY) REGARDING ONE'S CLOTHING, ETC.:\n\nFor the immediate walking-out-the-door clothing problem, ditch the expensive sticky rollers and just put two or three wraps of some regular clear Scotch packing tape - **NOT DUCT TAPE** \\- around your hand and wrist and pat the fur away - you can even wrap it around your old sticky roller! (Tip: The sticky side of the tape goes on the outside.)\n\n​\n\n\\[That's actually the last big tip. The rest is just me expounding upon it.\\]\n\n​\n\nSeriously, packing tape is **ridiculously** better at removing fur. The adhesive is much stronger, it usually pulls out fur that's stuck in the weave of a tight fabric easily with just one or two pats, instead of repeateadly rolling harder and just wasting more sheets of that sticky paper on finer and finer lint.\n\n​\n\nI've used clear packing tape on *everything* to remove fur, dust, lint - if it's smaller than a hamster it'll probably get picked up. It works on cotton/poly/fleece/wool/spandex/rawhide/paracord/kevlar and any other kind of blends.\n\nI've used it on jeans, t-shirts, suits, coats, car interiors, furniture, linens, satin and zillion-thread-count Egyptian cotton bedsheets, lacy velvet dresses - crushed or otherwise, static-laden vinyl, even on the most gossamer cotton and delicate silk... well... delicates.\n\n**I - along with two others - very rapidly used it on all of the combined components of one wedding dress and two tuxedos.** \n\n(One single kitty was frighteningly naughty that night).\n\nNot once has any glue from the tape stuck to any of these materials. It'll often pull off *other* adhesives stubbornly stuck on things.\n\n​\n\nAfter brushing my cats I use tape on **THEM**.\n\n(Not their faces, just a little security guard-style pat-down). \n\nAnd if you're not brushing your cats, you're just spreading the fur. Contain it at the source!\n\n​\n\nA sticky roller set with three to five hundred crappy paper sheets costs at least ten dollars, the same price as a 3-pack of packing tape totaling 450 feet. It lasts so much longer than the sticky rollers I literally can't compare the two lengths of time they last: one sticky roll used just for clothing on three people rarely lasted two weeks in my house. The tape's also a multitasker - you can, for instance, use it to wrap packages!\n\n​\n\n(PS: Whenever I cut off a piece of packing tape, I always fold the cut end over about half an inch (or just give it a twist if I'm lazy. It makes it twenty times easier to begin unrolling it the next time, and it also provides something to grasp when wrapping.)\n\n​\n\n(I'm an evangelist about this because I'm a cat lover who learnt a simple trick ages ago and has since watched so many people waste the inordinate amounts of time, money, effort, and frustration I once did.)\n\n​\n\n**I know this is ridiculously long.** \n\nI have a disorder which makes it difficult for me to stop writing, ", "I’ve had two long haired black/white fur cats and hair was a constant in my house.

Shampoo and condition animals then brush, the fur will come free much more easily. Cats love baths if you train them. Lots of training involved, but it can be done (however don't use a hairdryer.

[ "Ok, there've been a few posts about reducing noise, and the number one tip is that getting your housemates or neighbours to change their inconsiderate behaviour is always more effective than trying to buy or install sound-deadening devices. But if that fails, here goes:\n\nWooden Floors: You could do the eastern thing and leave your shoes at the door. Who knows, maybe your housemates will follow your example and then you won't have heavy shoes and high-heels making a noise on wooden floors.\n\nAirplanes: Can't help you there, those things emit such a powerful low frequency drone it's near impossible to block them out.\n\nEar plugs for sleeping, together with a room fan set to a light setting. The room fan cancels out any irritating low bass (eg guys' voices), while the ear plugs do a good job canceling out the treble (womens' voices).\n\nRugs or carpet off-cuts. The less friction on the wooden floors, the better you'll sleep so introduce a few rugs or carpet off-cuts. You can even buy small chairleg cushion-pads that stick on the end of the chair and table legs so you don't get scraping noises all the time channeling throughout the house.\n\nIf i think of any more tips, I'll post them later.\n", "Get the soundproofing mats used for musicians at home. They generally charge a certain amount per square foot, but there could be a place where they just have a flat fee for a certain size.

Either way, these should volatilize from your clothes/skin, given that you spend enough time out in the open air. Simply showering and washing your clothes can get the stink out.

It can also be used as a heavy duty deck and siding cleaner, too. (Make sure you get the red box, though, not the green one.)\n\nThe thing is, it used to be in laundry detergents, too, until it was discovered that algae blooms were clogging waterways because this stuff makes them grow substantially, so in the end, it was removed from detergents. After that, people complained that their clothes wouldn't come as clean, because TSP was a good agent to remove body oils from clothing, and subsequent replacement agents couldn't replicate that. So, if people tell you that clothes used to come cleaner in past decades, they're probably right. \n\nSo, I re-add the TSP to the laundry myself, instead. And, it's gotten some pretty crazy shit out of my clothes, too. Once we had an old washer go bad and put grease on our clothes that got dried in. Nothing got it out, and this did. All kinds of stains come out with TSP, and smells do, too. And it's not hard on the fabric.\n\nI always felt like my modern washer did it's job by being abrasive on the clothes to rub stains out. But, I feel like I can reliably wash my clothes on a lighter cycle because they come out so clean when I add TSP to the wash when I add the detergent.\n", "Since this is temporary, i'd go to a thrift store, buy some clothes, discard after wearing, and change before going home.", "Prepare the washer in advance with water and a one-step disinfectant with combination Cleaner, Sanitizer, Fungicide, Mildewstat, Virucide, Deodorizer commonly used in hospitals and institutions.

After hot washing to open pores, rub down with rubbing alcohol or hand sanitizer and rinse off. Especially the armpits.\n\nAlcohol kills the bacteria on your skin that is responsible for foul BO and isn't washed off with soap and water.\n\nThere are fancy soap gels like from Gucci and Cartier that infuse perfume into the gel, so it gets into the pores during a hot shower. These should be used last, rinse again. Highly advised, your partner will love it, provided they like the perfume.\n\nTop off with a little of the real perfume, not too much to choke people to death. The stink smell may still be in your nose and mind only at this point.\n\n\nRubbing alcohol and/or One Step type Disinfectant should also be used in your vehicle, as bacteria is growing on the surfaces there also. Just be careful what you use where, test first as alcohol can remove finishes and dry out things as it removes the oils. So those will have to be replaced (amour-all etc).

My coworkers used disposable coveralls, bought new boots, and designated the old ones \"poop boots\" for use only at that site, gloves... and for one particularly bad area a special mask and goggles... because supposedly the \"poop miasma\" just in the air can get into your eyes and throat and give you pink-eye.\n\nAn annual FA inspection only took us a couple days in a row there, so they didn't need to go crazy washing themselves to get the stink out. \n\nOne guy told me that the poo plant had washing stations with \"fast orange\" (a mechanics soap that smells like oranges and has a gritty substance in it for scrubbing) and that they were advised to wash with cold water. The grit scrubs away some dead skin with trapped poo smellz, and cold water because it doesn't cause your pores to open up like hot water and trap the poo smells.\n\nSo change out of your poo plant clothes, (at least the outer layer) before you get home, put your boots into a plastic bag and maybe store them in the trunk of a car overnight, or somewhere not in the house.

[ "Take a break **before** you arrive home. This is as much a physical break as a mental one. Maybe take a 10 minute walk by your work before you leave or some nice park inbetween home and work. Or if you have a dog walk your dog immediately upon arriving home. Or find a coffee shop with a view you can relax at for a few minutes.

I may be craving pizza on a Monday after a hard day of work, but it's against the law in my head so I make something. (I also make sure every Sunday to plan out every meal for the week and buy enough groceries, that way no excuses).\n\n(2) I keep fit by having a gym schedule I must follow. I work out four days a week and know exactly which days I work out. I also know my routine and record my results. If something comes up I may be flexible, but I'll try to fit all four in the week. Maybe I'm dog-tired on a Wednesday, but if it's gym day I pull out my clip board, workout, and write the results. Since the gym is on the way home there is no excuse to skip it.\n\n(3) To keep up my reading I make a rule to always read for at least 1 hour before bed (if I'm in the mood, and usually am, I can read the whole evening. I love to read). Even if I'm playing video games, as soon as that 1 hour is approaching (10pm for me) I will save it, then pull out a book and read.

Get a meal, it's called dinner for a reason, but make it short and sweet, prepare it in the morning, so it's ready to go. Most folks mess up, starting in the AM, with a great meal, when discipline is high, getting to lunch and skidding a little off the road and launching into a culinary fiasco at dinner. Make that well disciplined meal, then all you have to do at the end of the day, is eat it. \n\n3.

[ "You tell the girl you like her and then just flirt back and forth? Are you asking them on actual dates? Telling a girl you want to take her out on a date will usually get a solid yes or no answer.

It could simply be that you haven't found the right one yet. \n \nI feel for you man, dating is hard. It's why they make endless movies and write endless songs about it. Just be real with yourself.

A woman to get together with to do fun things? Steady girlfriend? Getting married? You may be meeting women who are at a different stage in their lives than you.\n\nMake a list of common arc of the last relationships. How long between meeting & flirting, flirting & first date, etc. You are looking for patterns here. For example, if you are always dating Catholic women who had to put their favorite horse to sleep, that might be the common denominator. \n\nObviously, you & your actions are the first common denominator, so it makes sense to look at those first. \n\nOne thing that stands out to me (female, married) is that you say you 'try your hardest'. It sounds as if maybe you are trying too hard and that may come off as desperate or fake. \n\nWhilst trying to get her to like you, are you taking time to consider if you still/truly like her?\n\nIf you have close friends, you can ask them if there is something they notice about you or the women you date that could lead to these recurring situations. \n\nPreface by saying you won't be mad or whiny or hold their opinions against them later - and mean it! It's hard for people to be honest if it will lead to unpleasant results.\n\nThen, listen! You first instinct will probably be to defend yourself, explain why X situation is different or why you do Z. Just listen. \n\nGood answers from you are, \"That's something to think about. I never saw it from that perspective. There may be something to that.\" \n\nAsk you three best friends (separately, so you get honest answers). Look for patterns.\n\nIf that doesn't help (don't do it all in one day!) consider seeing a counselor or therapist.\n\nIf you are TRULY brave, go back and ask some of the women it didn't work out with to give you some feedback. Make it very clear you aren't having this conversation as a 'what to change so I can win you back' or 'why did you reject me you evil bitch?' tactic. \n\nWe are conditioned to avoid hurt feelings and situations that might create resentment or revenge, so you have to be very sincere and gentle about asking for this advice.

[ "Recording studio owner here! First things first, DO NOT cover your walls in foam, egg cartons, or other thin materials like that. Those are useful tips for sound treatment (reducing echo inside the room) but absolutely do not soundproof a room (preventing noises from passing into or out of the room.) That is not the issue you're needing to solve, although it may be worth considering if you have an echo problem after soundproofing is done.\n\nYour best bet is a dense material covering the walls and an airtight seal. Start by sealing windows and doors as much as possible. Stuffing a towel in the space under the door is surprisingly effective. You can use a strip of fabric between the door and it's frame in a similar way. \n\nBest case scenario would be to put up a second layer of drywall inside your room with a small gap (2-3 inches) to trap sound. Minimizing contact between the outer and inner walls is really important, so this should not be screwed to the existing walls. This is often called a \"room in a room\" and is commonly used in studios for drum sets, grand pianos, electric guitar amps, and other very loud instruments.\n\nIf you need a cheaper/less permanent option, heavy blankets can help too. 2 layers of cheap moving blankets will help a lot. Again, foam and thin cloth will not block sounds. You need a dense, thick material to trap sound and either reflect it back outside the room or convert it to heat to reduce it's volume, and thin materials just can't do that.", "For customer side I suggest you checkout Krisp app.\nFor you, try getting headphones with good noise canceling.", "Are there any gaps around the widows?

Sound conducts well through smooth solid surfaces like walls, and poorly through jagged or bubbly surfaces like egg cartons, towels, plants, etc. \n\nLess helpful is to create random air barriers like a tall potted plant just inside your door or a room divider to increase the distance the sound waves have to travel. \n\nAlso if the sound is traveling through the hallway rather than the wall, put a white noise generator like a fan or something in the hallway to make it less noticeable." ]

[ "Stop being a bitch and eat it. \n\nBut seriously, just try things. I was a picky eater just because I would look at something and didn't like how it visually looked, so I would say \"I don't like that\", not even knowing what it was. I eventually just started nibbling random things on my plate and found what I did and didn't like. The only way to grow is to do.", "My rule of thumb is to try everything at least three times (sometimes I'll give something five tries even), and if I still won't like it after that I won't bother for a while with it. This has worked well with carrots and I have acquired a taste for them (granted I need a dip to make them taste really good) and now I can also eat raw red pepper without a problem. I used to hate these things. \n\nI'm still trying when it comes to things like olives (just an example)... Although the fifth time trying them wasn't as bad as the first time. So I'm getting there. \n\nSome things you may never end up liking. I used to be a very fussy eater (I still am to an extent, but I'm a lot better now). And I mean I couldn't even handle a little pepper on my food. Now I started using white pepper while cooking. \n\nGotta start with baby steps, give everything a couple of tries. Sometimes mix a certain food with something else you like. Or try different preparation techniques. Fried cauliflower will taste different to cooked cauliflower. Also cauliflower mash is amazing (or mashed cauliflower, whatever it is called). \n\nLike someone said: a lot of things are acquired tastes. It will take some willpower and time, but you will get there. ", "Would you say you have more of a problem with textures or with tastes? Is there any pattern to it? Do you dislike change in general? \n\nI know quite a few people who thought they didn't like vegetable when actually, they don't like overcooked mushy slimy tasteless boiled vegetables. Boiling vegetables should be against the law.\n\nMost vegetable are pretty good roasted with a little salt and olive oil or quickly stir fried, just until they brighten in color.", "Take a look at this eating disorder. I used to have it too. It's very common in children, but doesn't always go away when you get older. \n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avoidant/Restrictive_Food_Intake_Disorder\n\nTry seeing a therapist that might be able to help you with irrational thoughts and behaviours regarding your food habits.\n\nAlso, try doing new things with your food. I absolutely HATE raw tomatoes, but they taste okay if they are cooked and mixed with other ingredients.\n\n", "Season it with something that you do like, for example if you are having a hard time eating a salad, put some ice cream on it. On your other veggies add some hot fudge....or just get drunk and eat everything that way. ", "Learn to cook and play around with different recipes. When you start to invest time and effort into making something you approach it with a much more open mind about ways to improve it, not just a snap judgement about whether you like it or not.\n\nOver time you should be able to identify exactly what it is you don't like about stuff you cook. I hated asparagus as a kid because it was always mushy, it's how I thought all asparagus was. 20 years later I my wife talked me into trying asparagus again that was not cooked until it was a mushy blob and then I realized it was the texture, not the taste that had turned me off, now I love them.\n\nAlso, nearly everything is an acquired taste so keep trying things you don't like. I now love a whole list of things I hated when I was younger.", "A) Try something 10 times in 10 different preparations before you decide that you don't like it. Sometimes we just don't like a certain preparation (method of cooking or seasoning). Many foods are \"acquired\" tastes too, so it can take repeated exposure to actually like the flavor.\n\nB) Try new foods (or foods you think you will dislike) at highly-rated restaurants or in the kitchen of a very good home cook. Many foods can be very unappetizing if they are not fresh or prepared properly, and good cooks know how to choose foods at their peak freshness and prepare them so they are most appetizing. Once you have a memory of how a food is *supposed* to taste, you can somehow tolerate the subpar versions you eat afterwards a lot better.\n\nC) Try vegetables straight from the garden or at farmer's markets. I hated peas for the first 20 years of my life because I only ever had mushy, bland peas from a can. One summer I helped my grandmother tend her vegetable garden, and it was great weather for sweet peas. I went from hating peas to absolutely loving them in no time at all.\n\nD) Cook vegetables yourself. Get familiar with how they look, feel, and taste. Lots of people \"don't like\" vegetables because they are unfamiliar. There's a mental block that probably served our hunter-gatherer ancestors pretty well when they were trying to evaluate whether a new plant was poisonous or not. The more you work with a vegetable, understand where it comes from and how it can be prepared, the more you will like it.", "Try a small amount of nice quality vegetables with a lot of a sauce or dish you love. Build tolerance and repeat. Don't eat most veg raw as most are less bitter and intense cooked- only raw cukes (cut small with something delicious), lettuce, and maybe snap peas. Eat squishy textured foods sliced very thin and never alone. Forget green peppers- try red and yellow. \n\nTry vegetables fried before rejecting them. Don't feel bad for not wanting to throw back a whole tomato/pepper.\n\nBuild a long list of 'can tolerate for show' and a very short list of 'will not eat'. You will find things may move off the tolerate list as you get used to them.\n\nRaw fish is something 50% of the people I know don't eat. Don't sweat it.", "My assumption is that in the moments leading to our deaths - we will all share a brief assessment of what we've experienced in life. There are so many opportunities in this moment for regret. Don't include food as one of them. Let's assume that food is here for us, for life, and let us be thankful for the ability to adjudicate and decide what we intake, yes, but mostly for the fact that we've such an abundance of choices to select from.\n\nIf you truly \"hate\" vegetables, I'd go ahead and call you out as one who has only had grocery store produce. I live in farm country, and a what we both refer to as tomatoes are completely different. In my country (speaking as the old presidents did) Butter Beans are closer to desert than a side dish. Okra is a delicacy. Field peas could substitute butter. \n\nTLDR:\nTaste the world and universe. Try a real farmers market - this is real food. Celebrate what you truly dislike. Enjoy what you enjoy. Try try try. ", "Stop being a bitch and eat it.\n\nAlso, imagine all the starving people in the world who would kill to have what is on your plate. That might help.\n" ]

I am usually very sharp and on point, great memory and get shit done. I started having the same issues at 33, much earlier than I expected, and it was accelerating. Hard time time remembering things that were usually second nature, difficult time accomplishing tasks I was an expert in, difficult time thinking through things I usually cut through like butter with. General fogginess and fatigue, living life through a lens... It was incredibly frustrating. It started slow, then got worse. Went to several doctors trying to figure it out, as I was having some other symptoms show up like stomach pains and breaking out. Did tonnes of scans and tests, all numbers came back clean, doctors thought I was crazy, or had no clue what to do. It was driving me nuts.\n\nFinally, I go see the 8th doctor. While talking through things like my diet (I eat very healthy), my environment (non-toxic), activity levels (average), sleep (good), stress (a little high); he recommends I take a test to measure how my body is absorbing nutrients, and how well it is processing toxicities. Ends up that I had unusually high heavy metal and toxicity retention, and low vitamin and nutrient levels. This was particularly interesting, since I eat really well and do not reside/work in toxic environments. Despite leading a healthy lifestyle and staying away from bad things, my body was still having a hard time processing elements in and out.\n\nHe put me on a simple regiment to clean out some of the toxins and a selective supplement regiment to promote nutrient absorption, and within 2 months all the symptoms had disappeared. I am as clear as I ever was and no longer live in a fatigued fog. (I also eventually got out of the job and industry that was sucking the life out of me, which helped.)\n\nNow we are going through the process of why my body does not absorb these things, if it is a disease, genetics, or how much the stress had a part to play. Stress may not be the cause, but it was at least exacerbating the nutrient / toxicity problem. But those symptoms cleared up before changing my stressful job, so it was not just that. I did however, re-evaluate the whole situation afterwards, so it probably has helped in avoiding a relapse.\n\nHope this helps, took me 3 years to figure it out. Good luck, because it may not be obvious at all.\n\nTL;DR - Had exactly the same issues which centered around my body's inability to process nutrients and toxins, despite having an great diet and activity level.

I'd have such small joints that any regular weed smoker would think they were cigarettes. For some reason they helped clear the brain fog. If I had even a little bit too much, it'd be counter-productive in the extreme, however, so it took a bit of fine tuning!

As far as the vegetables go- the more colors the better. AND WATER, DRINK LOTS OF WATER!\n*\tIf you don’t want to make major dietary changes then at least cut down on processed foods and sugar.

This trick helped get me through the 3-day CPA test. ***Warning: Don't overdo it and run it by your doctor before attempting.***\n\nTo build on what other people have said about potential sleep issues, check out the Sleep Cycle app. It's great at spotting sleep issues and serves as a MUCH better alarm clock since it won't wake you up in the middle of a deep sleep cycle.

I had the same problems all throughout high-school and college and realized that, as much as I didn't want to admit it, staying up late every night (or just not getting consistent sleep on a nightly basis) was taking a toll on my mind. \n\nThat said, falling asleep and staying asleep may be a challenge unto itself, so consider the following:\n\n- Don't use any electronics at least an hour before you go to bed. The artifical light from the screens interferes with your sleep cycle. (If you can't help yourself, use apps like Twilight (mobile) or Flux (desktop) to put less strain on your eyes). \n\n- Exercise frequently. If you do a decent workout an hour or two before bed, you'll likely be so exhausted that you'd be craving the mattress. \n\n- Devote as much attention as possible into making your room and bed as comfortable as they can be. A room that's too hot or too cool, or a pillow that's too firm or soft will ruin your sleep, for example. \n\n- Finally, consider using melatonin.

I have been on the internet since the early 2000s, and there's some internet content I can't find anymore. That being said, this might help you:\n\nThink about how likely it is to stay available in the long run based on popularity. Non-mature rated YouTube video by a large youtuber? Probably safe to not download. YouTube video tagged mature and uploaded by a small youtuber? Download in case they give up on trying to become popular and delete their channel or the video gets taken down.\n\nYou should also consider the type of medium it is and how likely it is to be possible to restore the content. Video or text (e.g. news article)? Coincidence or not, at least one website that saves internet content (like what a particular website looked like in 2015) is more likely to save text compared to videos. I think saying its name is a violation of rule 8 (correct me if I'm wrong), so I won't say its name. It's easy to find though.\n\nThink about the uniqueness of the content you want to save. Is it a bunch of common knowledge about stock trading? There are likely videos that could replace that video if it were to be taken down for whatever reason.\n\nAnother thing that comes to mind is if it's commercial or not. Is it a video from a website that requires you to have a paid subscription in order to watch their videos? Very high chance the video is safe for many years into the future. News article from a large and popular news website? Just let it stay on their website. A music video made by your classmates? Download.\n\nLastly, ask yourself if you REALLY need whatever you think about saving. Videos tend to take a lot of space, so is it truly worth it to download X video? In most cases, the answer is probably no." ]
