of the four items here the most important one (to me) is the "rate your work" point. but only because (emphasizing specifically for me) when you want to justify a pay review you want to have a list of things you have done. so instead of rating it based on how i felt about it i rated it based on how much the completion added to the company in excess of the basic requirements of the task. negotiating for a pay review is almost like the interview for the job in the first place.
