7 1/2 Lifelong Learning Habits

Oh, the 7 1/2 habits of lifelong learners. They certainly make sense.

• Begin with the end in mind - This is easy. I know my goals...it's the reaching them that can be hard!
• Accept responsibility for your own learning - At first I thought this is easy, and I guess on the surface it is. Still, sometimes I have a lot of excuses for why I haven't or can't, and so maybe it isn't that easy.
• View problems as challenges - This one is harder for me. Problems can frustrate me, and then they can become one of my excuses.
• Have confidence in yourself as a competent, effective learner - Yeah, this one might just be the hardest. I guess I just don't? At least not always.
• Create your own learning toolbox - This is easy.
• Use technology to your advantage - This can be easy. I like technology, and I can use it...but I'm not sure if I always know the best way to use it to my advantage.
• Teach/mentor others - This is easy. If I can help, I love to, and I think it's true that you learn as you teach.
• PLAY! - EEEAAAAASSSSSYYYY! Until I start procrastinating... ;-P
