Thing #2 - Easiest and Hardest Habit


After watching the 7 1/2 Habits online tutorial, it wasn't very hard for me to determine what is the easiest for me and what is the hardest. I'm pretty goal oriented and know what I want. I'm good at making to-do lists and making plans on how to accomplish those goals, so I would have to say that the first habit, begin with the end in mind, is pretty easy for me. That's just the type of person I am. I've always been that way. I like to know what's expected of me, I like to set personal and professional goals, and I work pretty tediously to make sure all is accomplished. Unfortunately, habit 7 1/2, play, would probably be the hardest habit for me because it is just so hard finding time for myself. As a single mother to two beautiful children (just look! :-), it seems my time and energy revolves around their needs and schedule. And when I do find time, it seems all I feel like doing is shutting my eyes and getting some rest. I'm hoping though, this summer, I can make "playing" a goal for myself. I mean, I really have to, or I won't make it. I need to learn to make myself a priority. I'm trying, really I am.

  1. They really are beautiful children! Yes, since you are a goal-oriented person, making "play" a goal just might work for you. You could start small!
