If you dont want to read, sit down and start reading. If you dont feel like exercising youve got the idea. Procrastination happens when you listen to that Gollum voice in your head. With all your strength, make it shut up and just start doing what you need to do. You can never start if you keep listening to it. One bite at a time. Imagine that you are served with a delicious meal and told that you need to eat it in one bite; otherwise, it will be taken away. Could you do this?

The most difficult part in overcoming laziness is taking action. So, heres a final straightforward recommendation turn off that bad friends voice in your head, and just start making things happen.

How to Make Saline Solution at Home
How to Make Saline Solution at Home Saline solution refers to a salt solution, which you can prepare yourself using readily available materials. The solution can be used as a disinfectant, sterile rinse, or for lab work. This recipe is a salt solution that is normal, which means it is the same concentration or isotonic to body fluids. The salt in saline solution discourages bacterial growth while rinsing away contaminants. Because the salt composition is similar to that of the body, it causes less tissue damage than you would get from pure water. Saline Solution Materials Technically, a saline solution results whenever you mix any salt with water. However, the easiest saline solution consists of sodium chloride (table salt) in water. For some purposes, its fine to use freshly mixed solution. In other cases, youll want to sterilize the solution. Keep the purpose in mind when you mix the solution. If for example, you are simply rinsing your mouth with saline solution as a dental rinse, you can mix any amount of table salt with warm water and call it good. If, however, you are cleaning a wound or want to use the saline solution for your eyes, its important to use pure ingredients and maintain sterile conditions. Salt:Ã You can use salt from the grocery store. Its best to use non-iodized salt, which does not have iodine added to it. Avoid using rock salt or sea salt, since the added chemicals may cause problems for some purposes.Water:Ã Use distilled water or reverse osmosis purified water over ordinary tap water. You want 9 grams of salt per liter of water or 1 teaspoon of salt per cup (8 fluid ounces) of water. Prepare the Saline Solution As a mouth rinse, you can simply dissolve the salt into very warm water. You may even wish to add a teaspoon of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate). For a sterile solution, dissolve the salt in boiling water. Keep the solution sterile by placing a lid on the container so that no microorganisms get into the liquid or airspace as the solution cools. Foodcollection RF / Getty Images You can dispense the sterile solution into sterile containers. Sterilize containers either by boiling them or by treating them with a disinfecting solution, such as the type sold for home brewing or making wine. Its a good idea to label the container with the date and to discard it if the solution is not used within a few days. This solution could be used for treating new piercings or for wound care. Its important to avoid contaminating the liquid, so ideally make just as much solution as you need at a time, allow it to cool, and discard leftover liquid. The sterile solution will remain suitable for lab use for several days in its sealed container, but you should expect some degree of contamination once it is opened. Contact Lens Solution Although it is the proper salinity, this solution is not suitable for contact lenses. Commercial contact lens solution contains buffers that help protect your eyes, plus the solution includes agents to help keep the liquid sterile. Although homemade sterile saline could work to rinse lenses in a pinch, it is not a viable option unless you are familiar with aseptic techniques and use lab-grade chemicals.
