Thing 1

After viewing the 7 1/2 habits of lifelong learners, I would say the easiest for me is Habit 1 "begin with the end in mind" and Habit 3 "view problems as challenges".  I think I see Habit 1 as the easiest because it is a practice that I have been implementing in my life for the past 5 years since I went through a 5 day seminar of Stephen Covey's 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.  Perhaps this is why I don't view Habit 3 as difficult, because I do set goals, and keep those at the end view regardless of what hurdles jump up along the way.

I think the most difficult habit for me, is Habit 7 1/2 "Play".  While this seems to be the most simple of them all, I find it to be the most difficult because then I feel as though I am neglecting something that needs to be accomplished.  Play is perhaps though the most important of the habits.  I view it as Covey's Habit 7 "Sharpen the Saw".  We all need to take time to step back, reevaluate, relax for a moment, before we dive back into our busy hectic lives.  If we don't do this, then we will burn ourselves out.  At that point it doesn't matter how well you have adapted the other habits, if you don't play (sharpen the saw) then all your effort will be for nothing.
