Seven-and-a-half learning habits

Well, I just realized that I forgot to answer the learning habits questions on hardest and easiest habits.

For me, the easiest learning habit is to 'have fun!' My approach is "And to think they're paying me to play with these computers!" Specialists make the point that having fun, playing is such a very effective way for little chilldren to learn. They don't even realize they're learning. Pretty painless, right?

So it's not surprising perhaps to realize that the hardest habit for me (at least in informal learning situations) is to 'Begin with the End in mind.' In an informal situation, I'm more likely to find myself in the middle of learning something because it caught my interest rather than having a goal in mind.
