Self Discipline

If there was one thing about my academic challanges it would be self discipline.  What does it mean to be self-disciplined?  It means setting reasonable goals for yourself and then doing what it takes to meet them. (Olejnik.,Holschuh,2007) I find myself stuck between the decision of housework or homework, family time or research, personal time or extra reading? All of these things race through my mind not only day but weekly, and i'm left wondering if I made the right or wrong decision?

To cite or not to cite....that is the question

Plagarisim is using another person's words, ideas, or results without giving proper credit to that person.(Martinez, Carlson,VanDam,2010 "Successful Writing")  I think we need to cite our sources because it gives our readers a chance to find exactly where we got our information so they can read more about the topic if they chose to.  It is only right to acknowledge the people that have written what we are writing ourselves. Lastly, if the thought of plagarisim isn't enough to motivate you I don't know what is.
