As I explored the 7 1/2 Habits of a Life Long Learner I identified my weakness to be habit
#7 1/2 which was PLAY. I mean if you spend all your time learning when do manage to find time to play. I mean learning takes time, and I have struggled with finding that extra hour in the day to make time for play. I mean people say you make time for what you want. Yeah, so I'm still trying to find the time PLAY.
As far as my strength, umm I was torn between a couple but I narrowed it down to habit #1 Beginning with the end in mind. As I take on a new lesson I try to mentally visualize what the end will look like. Its the end that keeps me focused and motivated. I must admit that at times I get a little frustrated, but I refocus and visualize the END.

I feel the same way about play right now. I feel like I have so much work to get done for grad school and my job that I am constantly working and I don't have time to play (professionally or personally). I keep telling myself I will look into more of this stuff in July.
