Not sure which of the 71/2 habits is the easiest; the hardest is probably no.1 'beginning with the end in mind' - making goals - I often fear that I'll miss out on the serendipitous if I focus on predetermined goals - what actually happens is that I can drift around happily for a certain amount of time, pursuing this and that, and then just drift away completely from the original project [this doesn't apply to work projects - obviously :-)]
Maybe the easiest would be number 5: create your own learning toolkit - because it's sort of finite and tangible.
So my goals for 23 things are to actually finish it this time, to enjoy it, to find ways to apply the techniques in my work, and to persist even when I can't see the applicability for myself.
I think I've got all the gear (and people) in the toolbox that I need - even my own digital camera; but although I've had it since May, I haven't actually used it, and know that there's a gadget that I need to buy to make it work properly - will find out what it is and get one!

Can you let me know what the gadget is when you find it?
We may be able to get a discount for bulk orders LOL.
Y'know. I had *exactly* the same - play = easy....goal? goal? ...I'm having too much *fun*...
I like the idea of persisting. I had someone say to me as I was walking to work - "I'm using google docs for a project, and it just didn't seem relevant when I did it in the workshop, but now it's just so useful". I guess the idea is to know abou the tools so that you can use them when the need arises.
Of course, some tools will remain simply irrelevant tosh.
