Parkinson's Law --> Workers use all the time allocated for an activity regardless of how long it actually takes to complete the task Self Protection --> Workers are reluctant to finish tasks early so as not to communicate their efficiency and set precedents for future tasks Student Syndrome --> Procrastination in starting activites can use up valuable slack built into the activity duration Dropped Baton --> An activity is not ready to start and the preceding activity finishes early, resulting in lost time between activities
