The easiest habit for me to follow is to begin with the end in mind. This comes very natural to me. When I am presented with a problem where I have to make a decision, I spend an enormous amount of time considering consequences that would result from each option. Now, this sometimes causes me to over-think somethings. It causes me to tear apart what people say to me, and analyze every word, which is very over excessive for a lot of conversations.
The hardest habit for me to follow is accepting responsibility for my own learning. Often times, it is very easy to blame a million other things for that bad grade, or lack of progress. When I do not understand a concept, instead of trying to ask questions, I sometimes blame the instructor for not explaining it "my way" the first time. It is also easy to blame our circumstances for why we did not get something done. We can blame it on the weather, car trouble, sickness, kids(not yet!), etc. This is a habit that I hopefully can kick to the curb before too long!
While working on this assignment, I began to feel guilty at first because many of these habits have been difficult in the past to me. But, by the end, I had a lot of optimism that these habits can be followed in the future. This exercise helped me feel as if I am setup for success.
