Away we go

And we're off!

I strongly suspect I may have used up my entire 23 hours setting this up, so this may be my only post. Which template, which font, hate that, I need an image in here - no, disastrous! - quick, choose another one, and so on and so on. Happy days.

This reinforced what I had already suspected, that the lifelong learning habit I find easiest to practice is play. Jump in, fiddle around, make a mess, have a laugh and learn as you go. It's always a lot easier to learn when you're enjoying yourself.

Which leads me to the habit I find the hardest to practice. After a bit of thought I must confess it's accept responsibility for your own learning. Seems a bit at odds with the one I find easiest really - if I'm happy to play and experiment, why do I find accepting responsibility for my own learning difficult? My main problem is getting around to things. There's a lot of things I'd love to learn but I always seem to have an excuse for why I haven't quite gotten around to them yet. Too busy, not enough time, just have to do this other thing first ... Hmmm, something to think about.
