I thought it was really cool that the 7th & 1/2 habit was to remember to play! Of course this habit would be the easiest and fun, if we could actually find the time to actually let it all loose, but even when i go on vacation, my mind still can't let go of reality. Anyhow, the easiest habit for me is #6: using technology to my advantage. I truly don't know what I'd do without my computer, for one I wouldn't be creating this blog or taking any online courses and for another I would be bored. I am learning SO much about integrating technology, the infinite amount of tools, resources, people, upgrades, programs, goodnesss! There's so much I don't even know about to know that I don't even know that I want to know about them. Yes, read the prior sentence again :) Does that make sense to anyone else?
The hardest habit is #4; having confidence in myself as a competent, effective learner. I'm not saying I'm a dummy, but I always doubt myself and have often felt embarrassed to ask questions or because I didn't know something in class. I guess it's the confidence part I have the most trouble with, but I'm working on it, but it's hard when you're always unsure.

I completely sympathize with the difficulty you have in letting loose and allowing yourself some play time! As a type A personality I am constantly thinking of what I need to do next, the "list" of things I have to finish before I can relax and play. Problem is that the list is never ending and you just have to plan to play.
As far as your perception that you have a lack of confidence I'd like you to know that just from browsing your blog that's not how I perceive you. You seem very confident and outspoken and I've enjoyed reading what you have to say.
Thanks for the compliment! :) I do have somewhat of a timid side and it's a lot easier to be this way in an online course! Like I said, I've been building up my confidence and I to take your advice and plan to have fun, for some reason that almost seems impossible! The list IS NEVER ENDING!!!! ;0
