Week 1: Thing #2 --- 7.5 Habits of Highly Effective Learners

Which Habit is hardest?

My tendency to be influenced by time pressure, including the need to make the completion of any task work for multiple purposes, kicks the backside of #7.5 Play every time. But PLAY is critical to skill building, deep understanding, and confidence.

Which Habit is easiest?

Habit #7: Teaching & Mentoring is easiest. I am a helper/facilitator by nature. Staff and students know that they have a partner in learning new things and solving information problems. And I recall clearly what it is like to be a new learner. This memory helps me relate to others who are learning something new.
