As much as I like to "play" to learn, I didn't feel this half-step was really the most appropriate choice for my easiest learning habit. When it comes to highly effective learning I remain a geek and Habit six, using technology to your advantage is definitely my most effective habit for this. Perhaps it's just my generation but outside of Elementary School I don't remember a single report I wrote that didn't involve research using a computer. Even before public internet access there were computer databases at the local library that could bring ease to searching for books or magazine articles. Technology's aid to my learning isn't limited to a computer either. I love gadgets. I've owned smartphones, PDA's, digital cameras and camcorders, mp3 players, and several other electronic devices with an on/off switch. I participate and even moderate some message boards online which is an example of collaborate learning using technology. Even online gaming with friends can be an example of learning through technology.
The most difficult habit for highly effective learning for me would have to be view problems as challenges. I tend to just view problems as problems and challenges as challenges. This doesn't mean I don't tackle the problem and work out a way to fix it and learn from it, it just means I don't take some over the top, optimistic, glass half full approach to it. This also doesn't mean I don't like a challenge. I love it when my supervisor challenges me with a new project or task, I love the challenge of staying in shape and I love the challenge a new video game presents.
There you have it, I have no face, the 7.5 habits of highly effective learning have rawked it off.
