Thing 3

So the challenge for Thing 3 is to look at the 71/2 Habits, and determine which one will be easiest and which hardest for me. Probably the easiest will be to teach/mentor others, since I am asking others on my staff to work through this exercise with me. It will be natural for them to ask questions and discuss the project.

The hardest for me is always to begin with the end in mind. I always have a vague vision of where I want to end up, but it seems like the process frequently surfaces complexities that I hadn't really foreseen, or the landscape changes and I have to revisit my plans. This has happened so often in so many parts of my life that I have started to expect that course corrections will be necessary, and so it is hard to commit to a firm goal.

This time, though, committing to a goal is fairly easy. I just want to be more facile with being interactive with the web in the same ways that my children are. It is fun for them to teach me things, so we will all learn together.
