Problem: Article: Your proposal should be readable and present a strong appearance. Unless the RFP or your instructions specify something different, you should use a clear, readable font, in a size and style that will be comfortable for the reader. Generally, Times New Roman 12 point font presents a strong, professional appearance.  You might also review sample proposals used in your industry. Search the Internet for “proposal sample” and some details about your particular business field. You may also find business proposal templates online. Using one of these templates can make your proposal look professional. If your proposal is lengthy or complicated, you should offer an overview of what follows the introduction. You could summarize the parts that follow the introduction. For example, you could write, “This business proposal has four parts. After this introduction, we offer the proposed solution, timetable, and an explanation of benefits in Part II. In Part III, we provide an itemized budget and a set of standard contract terms. Finally, in Part IV, we summarize our experience and confirm that our proposed solution is the correct course of conduct.” Unless time is critical, set your draft aside for a day or two and then review it. Look for typing errors and dropped words. Also pay close attention to your numbers and make sure they are accurate.  You also should review the RFP again, along with any relevant correspondence. Make sure your proposal contains everything that the client has requested that you address. Shorten the proposal, if necessary. Ideally, someone should be able to read your proposal in eight minutes. If it takes longer than that, then try to move as such material into an appendix.
Summary: Present your proposal in a professional format. Provide a road map for the proposal. Proofread and edit your proposal before submitting it.

Problem: Article: Putting your belt on a table or an ironing board will make it easier to roll up. Lay the belt onto the surface with the front side facing down. Start with the buckle and start to roll the belt up, towards the opposite end. Continue rolling it until you roll the entire thing up. Doing this will make it more compact and easier to store. Tie a loop around the belts and secure it with a knot at the end. Do this if you’re traveling and you don’t want them to get unraveled in your bag. Stack the belts side to side to conserve space. Grouping them by color or style will help you find the right belt when you want to wear one. You can store your belts in baskets, boxes, or small containers. If you like to keep your accessories separated and organized, this is a great option.
Summary: Lay your belt out onto a flat surface. Roll up your belt. Tie a piece of string around the belts if you want to secure them. Put your rolled up belts in a sock or clothing drawer. Place the rolled-up belts in separate containers to keep them organized.

Problem: Article: If the missed homework is for a class late in the day, you might be able to do the work before school, during another class, or during lunch or a break. You can hand in the wrong assignment—such as one from another class—or an old one from the same class. By the time your teacher notices the mistake, you will be able to complete the real homework, or just turn it in the next day and say you are sorry about the mix-up. Copy answers from a friend so you have something to turn in. Make sure your friend is ok with helping. This also only works for assignments where it is expected that students will have the same or similar answers. In some schools, even copying something like homework can merit a suspension. Remember to evaluate the situation and make a good decision as to whether or not you will copy homework off of a peer. Know that in many cases, you’ll need a written excuse from a doctor or clinic to prove to your teacher that you had to seek medical care, and weren’t able to complete your homework. A dangerous move, you can forge a note from a parent explaining why you couldn't do your homework. If you decide to forge one, be warned that your teacher might know it’s a fake. If you are caught, you face punishment from both your parents and teacher.
Summary: Make it seem like you did the work on time, even if you didn't. Claim to be sick. Ask a parent to write an excuse for you.

Problem: Article: Show respect for your coworker by keeping your lips sealed regarding their condition. If their diagnosis is not common knowledge in your workplace, keep what you know to yourself. You should keep your communications work-related.  Your coworker may not want others to stigmatize or pity them. Respect their privacy and avoid discussing their diagnosis with others in the workplace—unless the other person is already privy to the information. If you do discuss it with someone who is aware, be sure the conversation is constructive, not simply to gossip. If knowledge about their condition is a part of your work duties, you could get in trouble for breaking confidentiality. Even if you are not bound by confidentiality, you should still be wary of discussing your coworker's condition, as doing so could damage your work relationship with the person and your reputation. If, however, your coworker’s condition is impacting your ability to do your job or if you think they may be a danger to themselves or someone else, speaking with a supervisor is appropriate. Mental illnesses are very complex. Never diagnose someone yourself or assume they have bipolar disorder. You should also never accuse someone of being bipolar or mentally ill. Reflect on your co-worker’s typical behavior. What kinds of things do they do that you cannot tolerate? Make a list, then come up with suitable limits for everything on your list.  For example, maybe your coworker calls you late at night about work business. You will need to tell them this is not appropriate. If someone keeps coming to you with personal problems, you may want to establish boundaries there as well. Suggest your company's EAP program as a way for the person to talk through personal issues. Once you open the door for colleagues to process personal issues, it may be difficult to pull back. When sharing your boundaries, be consistent. Rather than making your bipolar coworker feel singled-out, voice your boundaries with everyone. Make no exceptions.  You might say to the larger office personnel, "Someone has been using my office supplies without asking. Please do not go into my desk without permission." If your boundary applies only to the bipolar coworker, there's no need to make a public announcement. Simply speak with the person about the issue privately. You may need to vocalize your boundaries over and over again for them to sink in with a bipolar coworker. Reiterate your limits whenever you need to. You may feel like you're overdoing it, but repetition may be the only way for your coworker to fully respect your boundaries. If, despite verbalizing your boundaries, your coworker continues to cross lines, you must take action. Be sure to tell them what line was crossed and what consequence will be put in place.  You might say directly to your coworker, "If you go in my drawer again without my permission, I will report you." Another consequence might be putting a lock on the drawer. If, during a meeting, your coworker repeatedly interrupts you, you might ask them to leave. The person may get angry about your boundaries initially, but you should hold fast anyway. Being firm and consistent is the only way they will start to respect your limits. Reinforcing boundaries can be done one-on-one in private with your coworker.
Summary:
Refrain from casually sharing their diagnosis with others. Decide what you cannot tolerate. Verbalize your  boundaries throughout the workplace. Repeat your limits as necessary. Enforce consequences if boundary violations occur.
