The Tribune has published a number of articles in the how-to series this year. They have all been very helpful and for that you are welcome. One problem, however, with a lot of these articles is that they require wearing clothes. But, how do you get dressed? Here’s how:

First, wake up. While waking up, make sure you stay true to yourself and commit to your goals. There’s nothing worse than letting yourself down and with such a difficult task, you need make sure you remain faithful to your own heart. For the purposes of this article, you need to make sure you’re not wearing your day clothes while sleeping; That would just be cheating.

Next, get out of bed. It will be difficult to get dressed if you stay in bed all day. At this point, if you were wearing pajamas, you need to take those off. Be careful not to put your clothes on over your pajamas, you’ll overheat during the day and could faint in the middle of that big budget presentation.

If you feel like it, take a shower. For help on this, see the Tribune’s previous how-to on showering.

Before you try putting on clothes, you should make sure you’re fueled for the day, so have some breakfast. But before you go to the kitchen, consider putting on some pre-clothes—clothes you wear before you get dressed. Otherwise, feel free to eat your breakfast naked, but this might not be welcoming if it’s cold outside and you don’t have proper insulation.

Once you find your kitchen, which can be a daunting task in itself, decide what you want to eat. Once again, make sure you commit yourself to your decision. Breakfast is among the three most important meals of the day, so don’t screw it up. Also, for sustainability, use candlelight instead of electric lighting while making your meal.

Once your belly is full, head back to your room or your walk-in closet—wherever you store your clothes. Now you need to decide what to wear. Look out the window and see what other people are wearing. This will help you get a sense of what the temperature is like. You will also see what other people are wearing so you can make sure you don’t wear the same outfit, which would be embarrassing.

Next, throw open your closest doors and put some clothes on. Then take them off because you were wrong in your outfit choice. Put other clothes on and start your day.
