7 1/2 Habits

First Question - What will I find easiest and the hardest of the 7 1/2 Habits of the Lifelong Learning Habits?

If I am honest with myself, the first habit would be the hardest. Oh, I am great at beginning projects or things I want to learn, but finishing...that is the hard one. I am famous in my family for starting projects and learning new hobbies but after awhile I just sort of peter out. It is different at work, I think that is because I have to learn new things to stay up to date and be successful at my work. At home there is no deadline, just the guilt of not fully learning something as the items I purchased to learn the new "thing" are staring at me in the corner. :-) Hopefully this Web 2.0 process will help me at home as well as work.

The easiest of the 7 1/2 Habits is number 5, Create your own learning toolbox. I love to gather all the items I will need to learn a new skill. You would think this would make me more willing to complete the learning process, but I am always saying to myself, "Now, I have all the things I need, for when I have time to learn."

Let the gathering beginning!
