Thing 1

As far as lifelong learning habits are concerned, of those they listed, the one I find easiest is taking control of my own learning. Throughout my undergraduate studies as a physics major, I had a pretty easy time until I got into the upper division classes. Suddenly, things stopped making intuitive sense as the realm of differential equations and quantum mechanics took over. I realized I had to take charge of my own learning and study hard if I was to have any chance of survival, and it paid off in the end.

The most difficult lifelong learning habit for me is beginning with the end in mind. I NEVER have the end in mind, right until it is looming. This makes it hard for me to wrap things up sometimes, but alas, my brain just doesn't think in those terms. I start at the beginning and I end at the end.
