I enjoyed the 7 1/2 Habits of Highly Successful Lifelong Learners and plan to share it with friends both in the education field and outside of it. At this point in my life these habits are pretty much second-nature to me, but I guess the hardest is "view problems as challenges". Especially at the end of the school year, I am more likely to view challenges as problems. Most seem to be of the "not again!" variety.
"Have confidence in yourself as a competent, effective learner" may be the easiest for me, other than "Play" of course. I am able to figure out and learn about things like those we are exploring in this course because I know how to follow directions. After all the things I have been forced to teach myself (especially TIP), I know to look for directions, I know that most things follow some sort of pattern or sequence, and I can make educated guesses when the directions are poor. Seems pretty basic, but I believe it makes a huge difference.
