In which I create a blog and the quest begins with 7 1/2 habits

Wow. I just created a blog.

This was not my idea, but I like it. I'm learning about different internet tools and programs for my work, and creating this blog was one of the first tasks.

The next task is to write about the 7 1/2 lifelong learning habits--which habits are easiest and hardest for me and why.

Easiest for me is is habit #6, Use Technology to Your Advantage. There are a lot of things I don't know how to do, but those that I do know, I use. When my family at Christmastime was wondering what century it is now, since it isn't the Century of the Fruitbat anymore (go read Terry Pratchett), it was I who said "Let's Google it!" and within a minute had found the answer. It's now the Century of the Anchovy.

Hardest for me is probably habit #1, Begin with the End in Mind. I'm much more prone to go wherever my wandering research takes me--wow, this looks like an interesting book, or link, or whatever! I usually know that certain topics are appealing (cosmology, nutrition, Egyptian art) , but I don't have actual goals that drive my learning. But I can see that having goals makes it more likely that I could actually reach goals. Ha ha, what a thought!

Which makes it nice that this program lays out goals for me. And I fully expect to Have Fun (habit #7 1/2) with it all.
