Thing #1
I just read the online tutorial 71/2 Habits of Highly Successful Lifelong Learners and found it very helpful. The easiest habit out of the 71/2 is habit #1 "Begin with the end in mind". I am a vicious planner. Sometimes I plan too much ahead, but I always have a goal in mind before I begin a new adventure or start graduate school. The hardest habit for me is habit #3 "view problems as challenges". I tend to be very hard on myself. I when set out to accomplish something and problems arise, I immediately feel like giving up. Oftentimes, I get very disappointed and angry. If I could work on viewing this minor problems as challenges that need to be overcome I could focus on the bigger goals I've already overplanned for. You could definitely say I am a lifelong learner. We all are really. We learn what makes others happy, to cook and clean (I'm a mom of 2) and what makes ourselves happy.

ReplyDeleteGreat post. I have always tried plaaning things out. The one thing that assists me in coping with possible problems is that I actually write a list of what if situations. Though there are cases where the problems are slightly different than I predicted, me writing them caused me to mentally prepare for worst case scenarios. Hope this helps:)
