LIfelong learning

Overall I think I do pretty well as a lifelong learner. It was difficult for me to pick one of the 7 1/2 habits as the one I find most difficult and the one I find easiest to do.

I finally chose number 1 as the hardest--Begin with the end in mind. I have trouble staying focused on the ultimate goal and tend to get lost in the day-to-day details. I like the idea of shifting my focus to keep the goal in the forefront. I can see where this would make it easier to assign a priority to tasks, both at work and in my personal life.

The easiest habit is having confidence in myself. I see myself as adaptable and capable of taking on new tasks. I think I do best learning from instruction with others--as long as they take it one step at a time.

With regards to technology, it seems to be developing exponentially and not totally necessary in some areas. I want to work on learning new technology somewhat selectively in the formats that will be most applicable for my work and life. I am not particularly interested in blogging--I would rather network with the people in my community, but I think it will be a good learning experience. I think del.icio.us and flickr will be good to have an awareness about, but are probably not tools that I will use frequently. ( I am open to changing that opinion.)

One piece of technology that I would like to become more comfortable with is sharing pictures--for work promotion and for sharing with family and friends.

My first post

Hi,

This is a totally new experience for me so I am feeling a little cautious about jumping in. I picked the name for my blog from the theme of one of my favorite children's books. I am looking forward to exploring and developing my interests in a new medium.
