With a background in education none of these 7.5 habits are new ideas to us. Most of them are an ingrained part of our every day professional and personal lives. It is however nice to review them and to use them as a measuring stick to see how we're doing.
Habits 1-7 will be a piece of cake. I've always had interests that allowed me to explore self directed learning. With the Internet and it's collaborative and social networking tools pursuing these interests and discovering new learning has never been easier or more accessible.
The habit I struggle with the most is the short little habit at the end - "Play". There are so many issues that need solutions and so many glitches that must be fixed that Play often gets squeezed out of the equation. Who has time for play?
Allowing myself the time to relax, Play and explore the possibilities is where I plan to focus.

I hope that this course will help us expand our definition of "playing." How can we learn about new technologies and find new solutions to problems without playing a little bit?
Play is such a hard thing to do in our jobs even though it really is work! I always put the "play" off until all the little glitches (as you called them) are finished. It doesn't leave much play time. I need to work on it too!
