7 1/2 Habits

Hmmm.... I have difficulty with a couple of habits: #2, accepting responsibility for my own learning and #6, using technology to my advantage. My goals are often postponed or displaced by frequent interruptions and tasks with tighter deadlines. Technology has not proved to save time; in fact it requires additional time to learn and use. The word "intuitive" makes me want to scream when it is used to describe computers or computer programs.

Ironically, habit #3, viewing problems as challenges-- is one of my greatest strengths. If I become obsessed with a project or idea, I will find some way to make it work. The more stumbling blocks I encounter, the more stubborn I become. I have literally dreamed the solutions to problems a number of times.
