Week 2, Thing 5: What I learned this week

Well, what I really learned is that procrastination is not your friend, and now I am having to post three blogs in the same week to get caught up. After setting everything up on schedule last week, I felt a little overwhelmed with all the passwords and sites to keep track of, and had to get myself more organized at the computer. Then, I had to overcome the intimidation I felt, and still feel, about blogging. I always feel like I need to have something monumentally worthwhile to say, and inevitably , do not. Even the minimum feels iffy..."am I doing this right?", "I don't know if this is my thing"...

Sooo, the learning habit I find the hardest is seeing difficulties as challenges. I try to be conscious of that in daily life, but if I get panicky, it soon gets lost. So much easier to be the voice of reason and support for someone else.

The easiest habit? To be responsible for my own learning. I ask lots of questions and like to know the why of things, even if it doesn't affect me directly. I like to understand the process, the rationale, not just the information required. I always want to learn new things but definitely feel behind the times, technologically speaking. I look forward to catching up with some of those "times" by learning about the 25 things.

Onward and upward!
