7 1/2 life-long learning habits

Part of doing the learning 2.0 program includes reviewing the seven and a half habits of life-long learners. Here's the list:

1. Begin with the end in mind
2. Accept responsibility for your own learning
3. View problems as challenges
4. Have confidence in yourself as a competent life-long learner
5. Create your own learning toolbox
6. Use technology to your advantage
7. Teach/Mentor others
1/2. Play

Evaluating my own skills, I feel pretty confident about using technology and accepting responsibility for my own learning. I'd like to work on developing a learning toolbox, because I often feel that once I've begun something, I often have to scramble to find pieces of what I need. I do think this is a valuable list to go back to and look at, because all the things on it are important to keep in mind as I continue learning, especially when out of a structured academic environment.

Based on that, I'd suggest also working on "starting with the end in mind." If you want to know what tools to use, you need to have an idea of what you're building.
