All of these activities involve practice and drills intended to improve proficiency in fundamentals of each activity: dribbling and passing in soccer and basketball, scales and chord progressions in guitar, footwork drills and off-ice practice in [...]]]></description>

With more than enough resources to go around, we decided to try to design an experiment for the last round that might help [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Way back in 1939, the great and powerful Oz had this to say to the Scarecrow, who was in search of a brain: &#8220;Why, anybody can have a brain, that&#8217;s a very mediocre commodity. Every pucilanimous creature that crawls on the earth or slinks through slimy seas has a brain. Back where I come from, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;ve all been in situations where we find ourselves slogging through our work, and the focus (if there is any focus at all) is to get the work done, rather than get it done well. Certainly household chores can fall into that category, and around the office there are similar activities like month-end reporting that [...]]]></description>

Unless you are on a project with no schedule pressure, and no technical challenges, and a single obvious way to get the job done, there will be some form of conflict (if you do happen to work on that sort of [...]]]></description>

Whether the time constraint was handed to you or you chose it is moot, as long as you have agreed to the commitment. If that time commitment is firm, and you find that it is not looking possible at some point, strange things [...]]]></description>

Just as with any stresses, if left unchecked there is a really good chance [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In all kinds of projects, despite all the theory behind project management best-practices or &#8216;branded&#8217; methodologies or lifecycles, I would say that the majority of projects get done with more than a little &#8216;seat-of-the-pants&#8217; effort. In construction circles you will see &#8216;as built&#8217; notations on the drawings, in many projects you will see a lot [...]]]></description>
