Problem: Article: Don't ask someone for help when they are obviously busy or distracted. For example, don't ask your professor for help with homework right as they are trying to start class. Similarly, don't ask your boss for advice as they are rushing out the door. If you're not sure whether or not it is a good time, just ask. You can say, "I've love to ask for your help with something. Is there a time that's good for you to talk?" In most cases, if you don't ask for help you won't receive it. Sometimes people might be hesitant to step up and offer help. If you need something, speak up and ask. Maybe you're traveling alone in a new city. If you're lost, ask for directions. Stop into a nearby store, or ask the bus driver which stop you need. You may feel vulnerable speaking up for help, but a certain degree of vulnerability can help you find the help you need. Don't feel weak, insecure, or embarrassed by asking for help. People aren't mind readers. Instead of just saying, "I need help," clearly state precisely what it is that you need. For example, instead of saying to your teacher, "I'm confused. Can you help me?", say, "I don't understand how to solve the equation for X. Can you please show me a sample problem?" Instead of saying to your partner, "I need you to help more around the house," you may say, "Could you please take the trash out and also do a load of laundry, please?" Sometimes it's tempting to whine a little bit. This could be a defense mechanism if you feel uncomfortable asking for help. It will help if you ask in a positive way instead. Don't tell your co-worker, "I'm so swamped! Could you cover for me at the meeting this afternoon?" That might imply that you're busy, but you don't think your co-worker is. Instead, say, "I know we're both busy, but you seem to be handling the stress better than me. Do you have time to take my place at the meeting this afternoon so that I can get caught up?" No one wants to hear you put yourself down. Try not to talk negatively about yourself when asking for help. Instead, act confident. You'll be more likely to receive the help you need. Try not to say things like, "I'm so stupid. I'll never get Algebra. Can you help me again?" Instead, say, "This is complicated, but I know I can do it. Would you mind showing me another sample problem?" Sometimes the help you receive might not turn out the way you expected. That can be frustrating. However, it is important not to give up. Keep trying to get help and make it work for you. Maybe you just had your first mentoring session with your boss. You might feel like you didn't receive the sort of helpful advice that you were hoping for. Instead of canceling your next meeting, try again. Prepare a list of specific questions that you have for them. If you asked someone for help and they didn't come through, don't be afraid to ask someone else. Sometimes, you may need to reach out to a few people before getting assistance. People will be more likely to agree to help you if you have been known to help others. Build a reputation as a helpful person. If you see a co-worker who has too much on their plate, offer your assistance. They'll likely return the favor when you find yourself frazzled. If your friend is sick, offer to drop off some food for them. You'll likely receive the same kind treatment when you find yourself in a bind.
Summary: Choose the right time. Speak up. Be specific. Frame the request in a positive way. Don't be self-deprecating. Be persistent. Gain credibility by helping others.

Problem: Article: The main factor in deciding when to hold your pool party will be the weather, unless you plan on having your party at a climate-controlled indoor pool. Choose a day with little to no chance of rain and high temperatures. However, if possible, avoid the hottest days of summer. Extreme temperature increase your risk of heat exhaustion. Plan your party on a weekend. This will allow for those that work during the week to be able to attend the party, and you can host the party during the day. If you'd rather have an evening pool party when it's not as hot outside, any day of the week could work. If you live in an area where rain is frequent, consider setting an alternate "rain date" for your party. This way, guests will know what to expect if it rains on the party day, and you can still have your party later. If you have a pool at your house, you can host your party at home. Otherwise, you'll want to look into local neighborhood pools and exercise facilities. Inquire about parties well in advance of when you'd like to have your party. Different pools require reservations and party fees. Depending on the facility, you may be able to rent the entire pool or just host your party during normal pool hours. You can either send your invitations electronically or as paper invitations. Make sure to send them out at least a week in advance. Use cute water-themed phrases in your invitations. Say something like: "Dive in for a night of fun with us at our summer pool party!" If you can hand-deliver your invitations, consider giving out a "message in a bottle." Roll up your invitations, and place them in clear plastic bottles. You can even add a bit of sand or seashells to the bottom of the bottles for extra beach flair. If you're inviting a lot of kids to the party, make sure to include their parents, as well. At a pool party, you want to have as much supervision as possible for maximum safety. Having a pool party theme will help you to decorate and decide on food for your party. Possible themes include: "Luau": Give all of your guests flower leis, and encourage everyone to dress up Hawaiian style. Decorate with tiki torches, and play Hawaiian music. "Patriotic Party": If you live in the U.S., and it's close to July 4, you might want to make your pool party a patriotic one. Decorate with flags and red, white, and blue. "Surf's Up": Throw a classic beach bash. Decorate with surfboard images, and play music like the Beach Boys. Place seashells around your tables for an added nautical touch. When you're planning a pool party, make sure to have plenty of pool supplies that guests can use and enjoy. Practically, have extra sunblock on hand, and some extra sunglass, since it will most likely be bright outside. Also, have a few extra towels, in case someone forgets to bring one. Even if you plan on having other drinks, make sure to have cold water available to party guests who get overheated. You can also have an array of pool noodles and rafts for guests to float around on. Encourage guests to bring their own, as well.
Summary:
Choose a date. Find a pool for your party. Send out invitations. Create a theme for your pool party. Stock up on party supplies.
