Begin with the end in mind - These habits are very appropriate for me right now as I have just decided to take a new career path. I have just started MLS program at Clarion University this month. My goal is to have my degree within 2 years.
Accept responsibility for your own learning - The great thing about the MLS program I am in is that it is all online. There are no set times or classrooms for learning to actually take place, and the discussion board is always open to bounce ideas and thought around.
View problems as challenges - Working in computer center at the library we encounter challenges all the time, and probably always will with technology.
Have confidence in yourself as a competent effective learner - Everyone has to start from somewhere.
Create your own learning toolbox - I find technology to be the most resourceful tool in my learning toolbox.
Use technology to your advantage - Working at the computer center definitely makes you realize this habit on a daily basis
Teach/Mentor others - Currently I teach a class (Photography for Illustrators) at The University of the Arts in Philadelphia, and it may seem a bit selfish but one of the reasons I teach is actually to learn. I learn so much from my students and find myself to be most creative when I am teaching. Getting new ideas and finding out new ways of doing things. My only hope is that they get as much out of the class as I do.
Play! - This is my favorite habit.
