Things #1-4 - 7 1/2 lifelong learning habits

This post is about which of the habits is the easiest and hardest for me, and why.

The easiest habit for me is play. I am fortunate to have a computer at home, and thus can play on my own time as much as I like. I would feel guilty to do this at work, because none of my job duties were taken away to allow me to fit Learning 2.0 into my work day. However, I may be able to minimize the guilt by telling myself that by doing this at work, I am setting a positive example for the rest of the staff. We'll see what Monday has in store.

My most difficult habit right now is my goal. My goals are always changing. A few weeks ago I found out that I can watch free movies online with my Netflix account, then learned that it doesn't work on my mac. I learned from a friend tonight that I can watch TV shows online by using iTunes, then found out that almost everything costs money to watch. I've been watching short clips on YouTube, but very little of my taste in sitcoms is on YouTube (1970's) and even fewer entire shows. If I had to commit to a specific goal today, it would be "Find out where to find old episodes of "Mork and Mindy" online other than the short clips on YouTube". But a more attainable goal is the vague "Find out what's out there".
