Still Procrastinating?


Hi Everyone!

My students read an article on Procrastination written by Dr. Joseph Ferrari from DePaul University. I would recommend Dr. Ferarri's new book Still Procrastinating? The No-Regets Guide To Getting It Done. You can look at the first couple pages on this link. Dr. Ferrari has a Facebook Page for the book if you would like to keep up-to-date with interviews and articles about it. There are two audios posted and small written piece in USA Today posted thus far.

Psychology Today has 10 Things To Know About Procrastination.

Now Don't Procrastinate on looking at these Resources! :-) I hope they help! Share them with others!!!

Workers Behaving Badly!


Hi Everyone!

Think about where you work? Have you noticed an increase in your coworkers being less civil? Are they being rude and insulting? The workplace is a microsystem of our society so it may not be a surprise this behavior is rising in the business setting as it has been in society in general. Jeannine Trudel of Indiana Wesleyan University-Marion reported her research findings at the APA annual meeting held in WA this week. She found 86% of people at Midwestern Companies are reporting incivility at work. The increase in incivility is likely a result of positions being eliminited, others taking on more duties without an increase in pay added to the general economy concerns. These stressors do accumulate and cause harm.
