Week 1 Thing 2

I watched the 7 1/2 Habits of Highly Successful Lifelong Learners. I thought it was well done and a good motivational tool for reluctant lifelong learners. The easiest habit for me is "to begin with the end in mind." I am very goal oriented and knowing my final destination is essential. Meandering is not something that I take to very easily.

The hardest habit for me is #7 1/2 - PLAY! Now that may sound strange, but, I find that much of my time is occupied by doing the stuff I have to do; work, taking care of the kids, taking care of the house, driving the kids around, etc. My goal is to play more and work less! I think using technology to my advantage may help me in achieving this goal.

Week 1 Thing 1

After reading several blogs it looks like most folks are using this format so I guess I will follow suit. I read the blog and found out about the program. I am looking forward to racking up all those CEUs and winning the WII would be okay too. We already have one so we would become a two WII household or I could sell it and put the money into my vacation fund. Hmmmm..... decisions, decisions.

Getting started

I seem to have successfully created my blog! I have also printed out my account reference sheet and 23 Things tracking log. I have been tuning into Rosie O'Donnell's online video blogs and hope to learn a thing or two from her on the fine art of blogging. If you are still awake I promise to try really hard to make future posts less of a snoozefest and much more entertaining and interesting. The next post will probably have to do with the lifelong learners stuff, so, I can't make any guarantees.

Anyway this should be fun and hopefully put me in same league as my kids who are light years ahead of me technologically. Of course if I could see the darned Ipod screen I wouldn't have so much trouble operating it.
