4. Social Login—WordPress and WooCommerce Plugin

Social Login - WordPress / WooCommerce Plugin

If you have a registration system on your eCommerce website, it increases the time it takes for users to check out. The danger is that some users will get bored and will abandon the transaction. However, If you use WooCommerce Social Login, it will save customers' time.

When a customer first visits your site, you can simplify checkout by allowing them to check out as a guest. However, this introduces friction for customers that want to purchase from your store more than once (and hopefully many of them do!). They'll have to create yet another username and password.

WooCommerce Social Login makes this process as easy and secure as possible–customers can log into your site using their Facebook, Twitter, Google, Yahoo, LinkedIn, Foursquare, Windows Live, VKontakte (VK.com), PayPal, and Amazon accounts instead of creating a new user account credentials.

How to Make a Halloween Flyer

Posted: 17 Aug 2021 08:00 AM PDT

Final product image — What You'll Be Creating

Want to learn how to make a Halloween flyer? In this tutorial, we'll create a Halloween costume contest flyer, and you could use these concepts to create any kind of Halloween event flyer you prefer. We'll also take a look at some Halloween flyer ideas.

halloween flyer design — We'll create this Halloween flyer design in this tutorial. Flyer mockup template from Envato Elements.

What You'll Need

Here's what you'll need to create this Halloween party flyer template:

Use these assets as we explore how to make a Halloween party flyer, or use any assets of your choice. You can apply the ideas behind this Halloween flyer template to any images, fonts, or ideas you like.

Looking for a Finished Halloween Party Flyer Template?

If you're looking for a customizable Halloween event flyer, consider checking out all of the colorful, stylish options on Envato Elements. There are hundreds to choose from, and they're all included for one low price.

Whether you're looking for a Halloween costume drive flyer or a trendy Halloween party club flyer, there's plenty to see. Why start with a blank Halloween flyer template, when you could start with something professionally designed and ready for print?

1. How to Begin a Halloween Flyer Design

Step 1

First, let's begin by choosing some fun imagery. This will be one of the main focal points of our poster. I'm going to work with this fun Halloween illustration from Envato Elements.

Download this cute Halloween illustration on Envato Elements.

Step 2

Next, let's prepare the image. I opened this image up in Adobe Illustrator. We won't design our flyer in this software, but Illustrator is an ideal environment for these customizations.

In this case, I'm going to turn the background layer off, so we have transparent artwork to work with. Open the Layers panel by going to Window > Layers. Then, click the eye icon to turn off visibility on the purple background layer.

Once you've done so, go to File > Save a Copy. Give your file an alternative name, so we have a copy of this illustration, without a background. Once you've done so, you can close Illustrator.

Step 3

Let's go to Adobe Photoshop and start a New Document by going to File > New. We'll work with the following specs in our flyer design:

11 x 14 inches
300 DPI, appropriate for high-quality printing

This is the basis for our blank Halloween flyer template. Choose the specs that best suit your needs, or you can follow along with these. Once you're happy with your selections, click Create to continue.

Step 4

Let's begin our design by opening up our prepared Halloween illustration. Go to File > Open to open it up. Photoshop can open Illustrator AI files.

When we do so, we're given import options. Make sure to toggle Constrain Proportions on, especially if you'd like to import vector art as a larger size. Once you're happy with your chosen options, click OK to open the file.

Step 5

Here's our Halloween illustration, without a background. Go to Select > All to select the entire image. Then, go to Edit > Copy.

Return to your Halloween Flyer document. Then go to Edit > Paste. Now our illustration is in our design document, and it has a transparent background.

Step 6

Let's repeat this process with another image. We'll use this fun Halloween pattern. It'll make a perfect Halloween flyer background. Open it in Photoshop by going to File > Open and choosing the file.

Then, repeat our process from earlier. Select > All will select the entire image. Then go to Edit > Copy to copy it.

Return to your flyer design document, and go to Edit > Paste. Now, we have both images in our document.

2. How to Make a Halloween Flyer

Step 1

Now that we've got our design file started and images inserted, let's get designing.

Begin by opening your Layers panel. Go to Window > Layers to do so. This is going to be an essential part of the design process.

Start by making sure your layers are in the right order. We want our Halloween flyer background pattern behind our Halloween illustration. Click and drag to rearrange their order.

Note, you can also double-click on the layers to rename them. This can really help with organization.

Step 2

Let's adjust our background. Start by clicking on the Fill Color and choosing a dark, black color.

Then, select the Background layer, in your Layers panel. With this layer active, use the Paint Bucket tool to apply our dark color. Just click to fill this area. We can't see this color applied, although the layer thumbnail should look dark now. This is because we have content on top of this layer.

To change this, click on the layer holding our background image. Change the Opacity to 17%. Now, we have a more subtle background pattern here.

Step 3

Next, let's add some text to our design. Begin by opening up the Character panel. Go to Window > Character to do so. From here, we can choose things like the font and color. We'll use the font Child Witch in this design.

Then, let's add some text with the Type tool. Click once, and begin typing as you would in most word processing software. In this scenario, type out the word "Costume".

Tip: you can use Edit > Free Transform to resize your text. Just click and drag on the resize handles to do so.

Step 4

Repeat this process and type out the word "Contest". This will be perfect for our Halloween costume contest flyer.

You'll notice that the two words are on their own layer, in your Layers panel. Then, we can select each of these layers and move them independently, with the Move tool selected.

Return to the Character panel to change the color of the text. I went with purple and orange.

Step 5

Let's try adding some extra effects to our text too. Begin by creating a New Layer at the bottom of your Layers panel. Click the plus sign to do so.

Then, right-click on this new layer on PC or Control-click on Mac. Select Create Clipping Mask. This means any content we add here will be confined to the visible area of our text. We want to do this for both text layers.

Use the Brush tool to add a wavy, darker line. In this example, I used a dark purple fill color and a dark orange fill color. You don't need any special drawing software or pen; just click and drag to draw in this space. Keep it wiggly and messy!

Repeat this process for any other text in your composition that you would like. For example, I also did this for the date, at the bottom of the flyer.

Step 6

Next, let's add a slight border to our flyer. Select the Rectangle tool. Up in the Options panel, select the following settings:

Fill color off
Stroke color, a dark gray
Stroke width, 12 pixels
Corners, 50 pixels

Choose these options, or experiment with your own. Once you're happy with them, click and drag to draw your rounded, rectangular shape. I wanted the base of this border to interact with the date at the bottom of the flyer.

Step 7

Next, right-click on PC or Control-click on Mac on our rounded rectangle's layer. Select Rasterize Layer.

Then, we can use our Rectangular Marquee tool to highlight the area occupied by our date, at the bottom of the composition. Just click and drag to draw this selection. Then, press Delete on your keyboard to delete this extra part of our border.

Step 8

Let's build a little platform for our Halloween characters to stand on. We can easily do this using the Polygonal Lasso tool. Click to create points, and create a rectangular, angled selection, like the example below.

Then, use the Paint Bucket tool to fill this area with a dark purple color. Simply click with the Paint Bucket tool active to apply this fill.

Step 9

We can repeat this process to create an angled shape. Use different shades of purple to simulate depth. Here's a possibility you could try.

Step 10

Let's add some text to the base of our purple shapes. Use the Type tool to add this text, just as we did earlier in the tutorial. This example uses the sans serif font Lorenza.

This time, let's work more with color. I added several items and separated them with a text vertical bar.

With the Type tool active, click and drag to select specific text, like this vertical bar. Then, we can turn to the Character panel and change the color of specific characters individually. I made the bars a darker purple and the text a lighter purple.

Step 11

Now, let's add some extra text to our composition. Use the Type tool to add a subtitle to our header. To keep things visually consistent, I used the Lorenza font again. Try it in a light color, similar to the color of the ghost character.

Step 12

Similarly, let's try some supplemental text at the bottom of the composition. This is a great place for extras like addresses and website URLs.

In this case, I wanted the text to perfectly align with my border. After placing the text, go to Edit > Free Transform. Use the resize handles to resize the text. You'll likely end up with a font size that isn't necessarily a whole number. However, it'll give you just the right size to align everything in a visually cohesive way.

Step 13

Let's add some fun finishing touches. I'll add these fun spider webs to the corner of our Halloween flyer. As we did earlier in the tutorial, open up this imagery in Photoshop. Select > All to select the imagery. Then, go to Edit > Copy to copy it.

We can go back to our flyer design, and go to Edit > Paste to get it into the document.

Step 14

Resize this image by going to Edit > Free Transform. Then, reposition the artwork using the Move tool; click and drag to do so.

However, the color here is all wrong. What can we do?

There are many ways we could address this. Here's one you can try. Go to your Layers panel, and select the layer containing this spider web art. Then, click Lock Transparent Pixels.

I used the Eye Dropper tool to select the same dark gray color as my border. Then, simply use the Brush tool to apply the color to our spider web. You can't color outside of "the lines" with transparent pixels locked!

Step 15

But the spider web art doesn't completely align with the border. Use the Rectangular Marquee tool (or any selection tool of your choice) to select outside of the border. You can add to your selection by holding down the Shift key while you click and drag.

Then, we can press Delete on our keyboard to delete any excess spider web.

Step 16

Let's duplicate this layer, so we can have a matching spider web on the other side. Select the layer in your Layers panel. Then, right-click on PC or Control-click on Mac and select Duplicate Layer.

With the Move tool selected, click and drag to reposition our spider web on the other side.

Step 17

Finally, go to Image > Image Rotation > Flip Canvas Horizontally. This will give us a mirrored version of our spider web. Remember to use the Move tool to reposition it accordingly, so it lines up with our border.

Pamphlet vs. Brochure: What Is the Difference? (With Examples)

Posted: 17 Aug 2021 07:00 AM PDT

If you've been asking yourself "What is the difference between a brochure and a pamphlet?", you're in the right place.

Today, we'll explain the difference between pamphlets and brochures. We'll also show you some terrific example templates you can download and customise to create your own brochure or pamphlet as the case may be.

Pamphlet vs. Brochure

Is a pamphlet the same as a brochure? Placed side by side, it may be difficult to tell the difference between these two based on the way they look because they can sometimes share similar characteristics.

In this case, the brochure/pamphlet difference may seem mythical, but if you look more closely, you're bound to spot the difference in the two mediums, which ultimately boils down to how they are being used. Let's look more closely at each.

Fashion Brochure Template — The main difference between a pamphlet and a brochure comes down to how each is used.

What Is a Brochure?

A brochure is a printed item used to advertise a company's products or services. Brochures may come in different shapes and sizes and range in form from a bound multi-page booklet to a single page that has been folded to create sections, as in bi- or tri-folded brochures. They usually consist of high-quality, eye-catching images accompanied by compelling supporting text. Here are some of the best brochure templates you'll find at Envato Elements.

What Is the Difference Between a Leaflet and a Pamphlet?

Now that you know the difference between brochures and pamphlets, let's discuss their cousin, the leaflet. Pamphlets are sometimes referred to as leaflets, but though the two are quite similar in style, they are not the same. The main differences are the quality, the number of sheets used to create them, and the purpose.

A leaflet is always made from a single sheet of paper that may be folded. It tends to be of lower quality than a pamphlet to make it cost-effective. It can be used for advertising or information and is often handed out in public or added to newspapers.

Here are some examples of leaflet templates available at Envato Elements.

This template from Placeit is a great example of a leaflet, which in this case is used to advertise the services of an electrician. Placeit templates are easy to customise because you can edit them right from your browser.

Leaflets are a great, cost-effective choice for cafes. If you want to make your own leaflet, Placeit is a great option because it offers a great selection of templates, all of which can be customised from your browser, with no need for special software or expertise.

Dance Leaflet Template

Community organisations can make great use of low-cost, high-quality leaflet templates like this one from Placeit. You can customise the template from your browser and download it for a small fee.

Restaurant Leaflet Template

Finally, let's look at restaurant leaflets. This is the kind of template that restaurants can make good use of. You can upload your own food photos online and then customise your text and colour scheme in a few clicks, right in your browser.

Choose Your Preferred Template Today

Leaflet or pamphlet vs. brochure. It may be hard to keep track of the difference between the three. The best way might be to remember that whether it's multi-paged, flat single-leafed or tri-folded, how you intend to use your template is key.

If you want to advertise your services and products extensively, then a glossy multi-page brochure might be your best bet. If you want to share information on a single topic, then a flat single-leaf or tri-fold pamphlet would work best. Finally, if you want to make people aware of your product or service or share information about an upcoming event, a flat single-leaf leaflet may be perfect for you.

Whichever medium you choose, Envato Elements and Placeit offer a terrific supply of the best brochure, pamphlet, and leaflet templates around. Head on over to either site and get your favourite template today.

How to Make a Great Nursing PowerPoint Presentation Quickly

Once you've selected a nursing-themed PowerPoint template, it's time to customize it and make it your own! If you're using a premium PPT template, you may find it easier to do so.

For this tutorial section, I'm using the Healthy Infographics PowerPoint template from Envato Elements. It's a premium template that comes with attractive infographics, charts, and illustrations to keep your audience interested and engaged.

nursing powerpoint templates - healthy infographics — Premium nursing PowerPoint templates, like the Healthy Infographics template, are easy to customize.

Note that I'm on the Microsoft PowerPoint for Mac version 16.43. If you're using a different version of PowerPoint, then your interface may look different than the screenshots below.

Whichever nursing PowerPoint template you decide to use, you can follow these steps to personalize it:

Step 1. Duplicate the Template

nurse powerpoint template free — Duplicate the nursing PowerPoint template before customizing it.

Download the template into your computer, then duplicate the template files. This ensures that you always have the original files to revert to, if you make any changes you later regret.

Step 2. Select the Slides You Wish to Use

template ppt nurse — The Slide Sorter view lets you easily pick and choose slide layouts from a nursing PPT template.

Switch to Slide Sorter view to see many slides at a glance. Choose which slides you want to use in your presentation. Click and drag the slides in the order you want to present them. You can also duplicate slide layouts you'll need to use more than once.

Step 3. Add Your Content

Double-click inside a text box to highlight the placeholder text. Then type your own content. Delete the text boxes you don't need.

Step 4. Insert Your Images

Follow the instructions on the template for how to insert your own images into the image placeholders. For this template, simply click on the image icon, select the image from our computer, then insert it.

Step 5. Change the Fonts and Colors

nursing powerpoint templates — All elements of a premium nursing PPT template can be changed to suit your needs and match your branding.

Make sure you're on the Home tab. Select the text, then use the font formatting buttons to change the font.

You can also change the color theme of the presentation by going to the Design tab. Most premium PowerPoint templates have several color variations. This Healthy Infographics PowerPoint template, for example, has three color options. I'm really happy with the third color theme, which is primarily green, turquoise, and blue.

5 Quick PowerPoint Nursing Presentation Design Tips for 2021

There are always opportunities to improve any presentation. Here are five quick tips to help create presentations like a pro:

1. Use a Premium Pre-built Template

Health Powerpoint Template — Health PowerPoint Template, a premium asset on Envato Elements

Unique, creative, and modern templates with loads of features help you save time. With all design elements taken care of by experts, you'd be able to focus more on your content. The process of creating an impressive professional presentation becomes effortless and fun.

2. Use High-Quality Images and Graphics

Create the appropriate look and feel of your presentation with the right visuals. Images and graphics help cut lengthy text and send a message. Pixelated or stretched images look very unprofessional. It's best to use high-quality graphics and high-resolution photos at all times.

An Envato Elements subscription gives you unlimited access to millions of high-quality photos and graphics. Pick and download as many nursing-themed visuals for your presentation.

3. Reduce Distraction

Reduce distraction in your presentation, so it's easy to follow. There are a few common distractions:

too much flashy animation or transitions
busy or cluttered slides
overuse of audio or video
outdated design
bad alignments
unreadable

Keep these few points in mind while creating your slides. Do a test presentation with some colleagues and get their feedback.

4. Stay Minimal

Most premium PPT templates come with a minimalistic design approach. Stick to the clean and minimal look your template comes with. Any slide once overloaded will end up looking unprofessional.

Medical Powerpoint Presentation — Medical PowerPoint Presentation, a minimalistic premium template on Envato Elements

Here are a few tips to help maintain a minimalistic presentation:

use larger fonts and images
don't add more design elements on a professionally designed slide
use only a few colors on a slide
stick to bullet points or visuals
use lesser animations and transitions

5. Mix It Up

A template that comes with many well-designed slides allows you to grab attention at the turn of a new slide. Mix things up further by using different infographics, visuals, and media elements.

Once you're done creating your presentation, view it on Slide Sorter view. At a glance, no more than two slides should look the same. If they do, try changing the visuals or design elements.

5 Benefits of Using the Nursing PowerPoint Presentation Templates With Pro Designs

Since we've shown you at least 25 free nursing PowerPoint templates in this article, you may be wondering why you would choose a premium template instead. There are at least five benefits of using a premium, professional PowerPoint template, like the ones you can find at Envato Elements and GraphicRiver.

Those benefits are:

Professional Design. The premium PowerPoint templates in Envato Elements and GraphicRiver are created by professional graphic designers. Not only have they internalized the principles of good design. They also know how to maximize the features of PowerPoint. As a result, you get presentation slides with an impressive design. This is crucial for you to deliver your presentation with credibility and to keep your audience's attention.
Ease of Use and Customization. Another benefit of premium templates is their ease of use and customization. Because they're created for users with different use cases, topics, and branding styles, premium templates have to be highly customizable. You can change every element of a premium PowerPoint template, from the fonts, icons, and photos to the colors and special effects.
Free Updates. Premium PowerPoint templates from Elements and GraphicRiver also come with free future updates. This means that if the designer updates the template, you'll receive a notification through your Elements or GraphicRiver account. You can then download the updated template without paying for it again.
After Sales Support. Most PowerPoint template designers on Elements and GraphicRiver make themselves available to customers to address your questions and help you through any issues you may encounter. You're not alone to figure things out on your own. More accountability is demanded of premium template designers, and so they want to keep customers happy.
Commercial Use. If you're creating a presentation for business, for-profit use, you may have no choice but to use a premium template. That's because free templates usually come only with rights for personal use, not for commercial use. On the other hand, our premium PowerPoint templates all come with broad commercial rights, so you can feel confident about using them for both personal and work projects.

Benefits of Envato Elements (The Power of Unlimited Use)

How to Be Happy and Get More Done in 2021

Posted: 17 Aug 2021 06:35 AM PDT

The trouble with thinking "I'll be happy when..." is that it's actually a path to unhappiness. That's because while you fall short of your goal, you're telling yourself that you shouldn't be happy. Even when you reach the end of the road and get what you wanted, it can feel like an anti-climax.

happy at work — Be happy in your work by using these techniques. Image source: Envato Elements

Success coach Michael Neill explains this conundrum:

The moment we set a goal in place, most of us stop living fully in this moment and begin living in a series of comparative "nows", where whatever is happening now is evaluated in the light of how well we think we're doing at reaching our new goal. If we think we're making progress, we allow ourselves to feel good; if we think we're still too far away or are never going to get there, we feel worthless, stressed out, pressured, hopeless, frustrated, angry, and a host of other emotions that follow our insecure thinking like puppies on a leash. So while setting goals may well help us to achieve goals, they're extremely counter-productive as a pathway towards a happy and fulfilling life.

What can you do then, if you want a "happy and fulfilling life"? Neill's conundrum leaves you with two possible choices:

Stop setting goals and scrap your to-do list. Obviously, as you're reading an article on productivity, this isn't particularly helpful. Even monks—who are the epitome of people pursuing the ultimate satisfaction—structure their days around various tasks.
Stop making your happiness conditional on you reaching your goals.

Neill's solution is the latter. He goes on to point out that when you're happy, you do better work. Happiness makes you more productive, and thus more likely to achieve your aims. So why not choose to be happy every day, instead of making your happiness conditional on reaching your goals?

For Neill, being happy means being creatively engaged:

I've noticed that when I'm creatively engaged, I tend to do good work. Good work often leads to good results, and good results often lead to more opportunities in the world.

Neill's contention is backed up by scientific research. Studies show that a positive change to a person's life—such as winning the lottery, or getting married—will impact their level of happiness for a short while. But in the long run, they'll return to a standard level of happiness, similar to where they've always been. As Chris Bailey, author of the blog A Life of Productivity, explains:

If you expect to become happier because you make more money, lose weight, get a promotion, or get more work done, research has shown that you're looking for happiness in the wrong place.

Given that your big goals aren't the right place to look for happiness, where should you begin your search? Let's look at two strategies you can use to find happiness—so you can enjoy your work every day, and get more done. These are mindfulness, and being "in the zone".

Mindfulness at Work

Mindfulness has a range of health benefits, including lower blood pressure, reduced chronic pain, and improved sleep. It can also help with mental health issues, including depression, eating disorders, and anxiety disorders.

Fortunately, mindfulness is incredibly simple to learn (although it takes a lifetime to master). You can practice mindfulness at any time. In fact, it's probably something you already do now and again.

Mindfulness involves paying attention to your thoughts and feelings. To be mindful, notice how you are feeling at the present moment. Another way of being mindful is to consciously focus all your attention on the task you are doing. The more you check in with yourself or maintain focus in this way, the more you are being mindful.

Start practicing mindfulness with basic tasks, such as washing dishes. Focus all your attention on the feel of the warm water on your hands, the pressure of the sponge on your fingertips as you wipe the dishes clean. Once you've got the hang of paying attention while washing dishes, you can bring your mindful attention to any task.

Other ways to bring mindfulness—and happiness—to your work include:

Slowing down. Rather than rushing through your work, complete tasks slowly and methodically. Give them your full care and attention. Ironically, you may find that slowing down helps you get more done, as you will be less inclined to give in to distractions.
Take a break from your work to focus on your breath. Don't force yourself to breathe deeply, just notice the feel of your breath as you breathe in and out.
Step back from yourself. Instead of asking "How am I feeling?" ask "How is it feeling?" Then respond "It is happy" or "It is depressed". When you do this, you begin to notice that you can step outside your feelings. By avoiding the word "I", you are no longer identifying with your emotions. Your true self is beyond your feelings, and you don't need to be controlled by how you feel.
When you're in conversation, practice active listening. Focus completely on what your conversation partner is saying rather than allowing yourself to be distracted by thoughts of what you'll say next.
Take five minutes to do nothing. During this time, allow your body to relax and your thoughts to wander. Pay attention to where your thoughts take you, but don't follow them if they urge you to take action. For your five minutes of doing nothing, just observe.

A practice that's similar to mindfulness is getting "in the zone". Like being mindful, getting in the zone will help you focus on your work and get more done. Let's take a look at what it means.

Getting "In the Zone"

When athletes perform at their best, they get completely absorbed "in the zone". Their entire attention is focused on the movement of their body—though this attention comes easily and doesn't feel like hard work.

Likewise, creative people can find themselves "in the zone", where creativity just flows. The soldier-poet Lawrence of Arabia said "happiness is absorption", and the psychologist Rollo May put it this way:

When you are completely absorbed or caught up in something, you become oblivious to things around you, or to the passage of time. It is this absorption in what you are doing that frees your unconscious and releases your creative imagination.

To get in the zone is to find happiness in your work. Being in the zone is characterized by:

Intense and focused concentration on the task at hand;
Being fully immersed in the present moment;
A feeling of peaceful serenity or ecstasy—your emotions are beyond everyday reality;
Inner clarity—you know what needs to be done, and you know you're doing it well;
Loss of self-consciousness—you're so absorbed in what you're doing, you don't worry about what others will think of you;
A sense of power—you feel in control over what you are doing.
Losing track of time. An hour can pass in what you thought was only a few minutes.

Hungarian psychology professor Mihály Csíkszentmihályi calls this state of being in the zone "flow". According to Csíkszentmihályi's research, it's a state anyone can enter, provided they follow certain principles.

How to Enter a State of Flow

Unlike being mindful, entering flow isn't something you can decide to do. Rather, it's an experience that descends upon you. An anonymous poet—who described being in the zone as part of an academic research project, explained it as follows:

It's like opening a door that's floating in the middle of nowhere and all you have to do is go and turn the handle and open it and let yourself sink into it. You can't particularly force yourself through it. You just have to float. If there's any gravitational pull, it's from the outside world trying to keep you back from the door.

Although you can't control when you fall into flow, you can increase your chances of entering flow by tweaking your environment and the tasks you choose to work on. Here's how:

Choose a challenging task that matters to you. It's easiest to enter a state of flow when you're working on something that's important to you, and that you enjoy doing. If you need help working out what's important to you, then get familiar with the Eisenhower Matrix, which will help you get your priorities straight.

The task you choose should be creative. That doesn't mean you must be an artist. There's no need to write a novel or paint a picture. Rather, it means you should be expending your energy in the pursuit of a meaningful goal, even if that goal is ephemeral. For example, an athlete creates movement and energy with his or her body. Even blitzing through your emails could be creative, as you are creating an empty inbox.

Set aside a dedicated period of time to practice. If you are a beginner at the task, you will need to practice before you can enter the full state of flow. Flow typically only happens when you have mastered a task, or on the verge of mastering it. That said, you can still be mindful while you practice and gain experience. And you will sometimes find flow even while you are practicing. For example, if you are learning a musical instrument, you may find yourself entering into a state of flow once you have mastered a basic song. Of course, you will have to go beyond that state of flow to continue learning.

Every time you engage in the task, set clear goals for yourself. Flow thrives on a sense of accomplishment. You can only achieve it if you set a goal for yourself. An athlete might aim to complete a track within a certain time limit. A musician may decide to learn a song, or to write a new song. If you are seeking to achieve flow in your professional life, your goal may be to email five new contacts, or write a section of your business plan. The more specific the goal, the better. The goal should also be something that's in your control to achieve. "Sell five widgets" isn't a goal you have control over. "Make calls to 20 potential widget buyers" is. For more in-depth advice on setting appropriate goals, check out our article on SMART goals.

Set aside a time when you'll be free of interruptions. This should be appropriate to the task, and a minimum of fifteen minutes. The longer you spend absorbed in a task, the more likely you are to enter a state of flow. Allowing yourself several hours is ideal.

Once you start work on the task, focus completely on what you're doing. Practicing mindfulness will help here. You can also use the Pomodoro Technique to keep your focus razor sharp.

Relax your body into flow. Anxiety—even anxiety held in your body—reduces your chances of entering the state of flow. Before you start work, or when you need a few moments break, focus mindfully on your breath. Stretch to ease the tension out of your muscles. When you return to work, sit or stand with good posture.

5 Quick Tips To Make Simple Purchase Orders in Word 2021

Need to make a purchase order quickly in Microsoft Word? Here are some quick tips to help you jump right into Word and get your project completed. Whether you opt to use a free printable purchase order template or a premium one, these tips are good to keep in mind:

1. Keep Things Organized and Legible

Your purchase order (as well as any invoices or sales receipts) should be well organized. Remember, this is an essential business document. Your customers need to be able to use it and use it easily.

Consider limiting your design to one to two columns. Overwhelming the viewer with information could be a confusing experience. If need be, it might be better to offer a second page than cram way too much one page. Likewise, keep an eye on your font size. If it's too small, it might be difficult to read.

2. Make Sure Your Form Is Easy to Use

Is it easy to use this form? Remember, just because you understand your form doesn't mean your customers will too. Make sure items are labeled and described clearly. The user needs to understand what information goes where and why.

Take time to consider the user's experience. Don't hesitate to ask for a second opinion. Ask a trusted co-worker, professional, or even a friend to test out your form. Does it make sense? Is it easy to work with? If not, make adjustments.

3. Make Use of Your Template and Your Branding

If you already have a logo and established branding, now is the time to use it. Make sure your purchase order looks like an extension of your professional brand. This means using things like colors, fonts, and logos, and other assets associated with your business.

Likewise, if you've got a purchase order design, consider making it match other important documents like invoices and sales receipts. This way, all your content looks visually consistent. This can help make your content look more professional and trustworthy.

4. How Will You Print and Distribute Your Documents?

Make sure to consider the logistics of your forms. Will you get them professionally printed? If you do, will you go full color, grayscale, or black and white printing?

These options impact the price. Or you could print them on demand, but that too, requires an investment. You could also allow the user to print the forms themselves, or you could go entirely digital.
