How to skydive
It took me
1 day
It made me
Scared!!

How I did it: I decided to go watch skydiving then a week later did it myself.I've read so many times that if you're afraid of heights, it's not a problem. Well, for me it was! Hanging off the side of an airplane at 11,000 feet felt like I was that high! During the first 30 seconds or so (free fall), it was so windy I felt like I couldn't breathe.

bake a cake
It's easy, you can learn it quickly

I learned when I was 10.
Look on all recipes.com
Find a recipe with lots of high ratings
Make sure to follow the recipe to a T, messing up even 1tsp of something like baking soda/powder can mess up the whole recipe

Don’t jump in the kitchen while the cake is cooking
Don’t open the oven to check on the cake, you’ll let 100 degrees every time you open it.

Homemade frosting: blend powdered sugar and crisco, adding small amts of water or milk (if you use milk put it in the fridge.)

Too much, however and I’m awake at 3am worrying about work. 80% of my anxiety is work related 20% is regaring my children (which can also be work related GUILT)
