I've decided that Lifelong Learning is the bane of my existence. It is the reason my house is so cluttered, that my schedule is so full, and that I never seem to get anything done.
The problem, I'm afraid, is that there's nothing that doesn't interest me. My energies are scattered around all the things I love doing.
So the habit I think will be the hardest for me is good old #1: Begin with the end in mind. The end, of course, isn't the final day of this class or the last lesson I complete. The end, rather, is what I hope to achieve by taking this challenge. Do I want to be blogging away for the rest of my life? I don't think so! But would I like to be able to create a classy website? Know how to share family info and photos better? Keep in touch with my tech-savvy kids? Yep, I sure would!
Habit that's the easiest for me? #4: I have incredible confidence in myself as a competent learner. (It's the bane of my existence.) I never want to hire an attorney, because I know I can figure out all that legalese myself. I never want to pay money for classy clothes, because I know I could figure out how to sew them myself. Plumbing? Electrical? Furniture refinishing? If there's a book about it in the library (and there always is), I figure I can teach myself just about anything.
I would like a few more hours in the day, and maybe an extra room or two in my house, and as long as I'm wishing, how about a housekeeper and a cook thrown in?
