ARTICLES

Bartley, D. (1998, June). Procrastination 101: Blame it on the computer. Christian Science Monitor, 90, (135), B7. Mic

All right, if there's one major thing I've learned in college, it's how to waste time. I don't just mean the kind of amateur stalling that I practiced in high school. No, this is the big league here. I was officially awarded my black belt in procrastination during finals last semester. In high school, I at least started my work for the next day by midnight. In college, however, my standard operating procedure is something like this: Do not practice a presentation that is 25 percent of a political science seminar grade until a half an hour before class starts. The best way to avoid doing work is, of course, the Internet.
Dobbins, R. & Pettman, B. O. (1997). Self-development: The nine basic skills for business success. Journal of Management Development, 16, (8), 518-667.
Business skills described are as follows: think creatively, set goals, implement a winning business strategy, implement a winning marketing strategy, be excellent at selling, negotiate better deals, give leadership, understand financial implications, and manage time well. A bibliography contains 90 referencescategorized by the nine skills.
