So I'm asked what are the easiest and most difficult habits to accomplish out of the 7 & 1/2 habits? As soon as I saw (heard), "Have confidence in yourself as a competent, effective learner," I knew that would be my easiest. I hope that doesn't come off as arrogant or braggadocious, but in effect I have been learning my whole life and eagerly accept new challenges and venues for learning. Learning doesn't just occur in the classroom, but also in the house, at the store, or even while reading a blog. If it's new to the mind, it's learning. My analytical logical dominant self can't get enough.
Now the most difficult habit for me is absolutely beginning with the end in mind (determining what your goal will be). I consider myself to be a "big picture" person. If you're going to present to me, give me the grand scheme first, then the details, or else I'm completely lost. However, when I begin my own projects, too often I don't look for the end result first, and find myself making unnecessary mistakes or gaffs. A good example that commonly happens is when I make a Home Depot visit because something in or around the house is in need of repair. More times than not, I end up making return visits to Home Depot for extra parts or some other silly reason that could have been avoided had I planned for the outcome better. I know I'm not the only one who's done this. Admit it!!
