End of the Beginning or Beginning of the End

I guess of the 7.5 Habits, my strongest suit would be number #1: Begin with the
end in mind. I've always believed, and have tried to practice, goal oriented
planning. At least I start the day looking at my to do list. In this specific
Tech Trek 2.0 exercise my basic goal is to be a commited participant in an
effort to which our library is firmly committed. And I want an MP3 player.
My weakest of the habits would have to be: Viewing problems as challenges.
Obviously, at least to those observe me closely, I tend to overreact, panic,
and retreat from problems and difficulties. But, if I have some time and space,
I often recover and try again.

And so far, that's been the case with Tech Trek 2.0.

A New Beginning

Well, so far so good. The technical end of this "experience" has gone well enough. But the
sharing aspect is more of a challenge to this aging, small-town, taciturn, stuck in his ways
Luddite.
