7 and 1/2 lifelong learning habits

I feel very tense and have writer's block. Should I be funny or serious? I know I am putting way too much pressure on myself. I should just take the advice of Habit 7 1/2 and play!

Because I take graduate classes online, several of the habits come easily to me. I think all along I have been practicing Habit 1, begin with the end in mind, and habit 2, accept responsibility for your own learning. (As a side note I would like to mention that I am graduating in September so the end really is near).

The hardest habit is number 3, viewing problems as challenges. I'm not really finding the words to describe why I feel that way. I think sometimes I want a quick fix or I want someone else to deal with the problem if it's really complicated.

This isn't really related to your 7 1/2 habits post but I thought you might find it helpful in setting up your blog.

In Blogger, if you use the Dots theme, you have to add a page element to get the title of your blog to display on your blog’s main page.

Sign in to your blog and that will take you to your “Dashboard”. Click on the Layout link and then on top left of your page, click on the link to “Add a Page Element.” You’ll see lots of choices here, but for now, choose “Add a Page Header” and click on the “Add to Blog” button. Add a title for your blog and a description, if you want to. You can even add an image but make sure it looks okay after you save it. (Mine didn’t.) Click Save changes and then click on the link to View Blog. Make sure everything looks the way you want it!
