7 and 1/2 Habits of Highly Successful Lifelong Learners

My family said I was a perpetual student - always taking classes or wanting to learn something new. What I think is most important about life-long learning is that you customize it to yourself - your habits, your lifestyle, your life at the time. The hardest thing I find is trying to narrow your interests to fit in your time schedule.

I've developed life-long interests in sudoku, gardening, and scrapbooking. They also have the added side benefit of helping deal with stress. Yes, I find sudoku relaxing. I like solving problems and puzzles, picturing the finished product/solution. This carries through with my gardening and scrapbooking.
