How I did it
How to ask my boss for a raise
It took me
6 months
It made me
proud

How I did it: I was supposed to get a raise after 6 months of employment, but the economy took a nose-dive and I didn't want to ask at that time. After a full year went by, I decided I really needed to suck it up and ask. Long story short, I'm making a dollar more than I was hired at... which feels pretty darn good.He haggled a bit but I stood my ground. I'm bad in pressure situations, but I was honest and forthright. And it paid off. :) Read how I did it…

Hrm…
I have no determination to do things that are difficult for me. The only things I actually get done and put effort into are things I enjoy.
I really need a kick to get started, such as a looming deadline or the threat of repercussions. I have about a month or so to finish the research that will serve as the foundation for my thesis, and I’m finding it difficult to really get motivated (since, in my mind, “a month” is far in the distant future).

How will I go about accomplishing the acquisition of a work ethic? Not sure. I think it will involve imposing a strict schedule in what I need to get done and when…

Aiyaa.
