Here's A Test Post, Then

That was easy.
So 7-and-a-half-habits, is it? What's that half-a-one, "play?" That seems like a full
habit to me. Let's call it 8 and not be gimmicky.

Habits 1 (set a goal) and 8 (assemble a toolkit) seem the easiest to me. The goal sets
itself when you think about it, springing from the desire to do something: want to drive around
Sicily all alone? Learn enough Italian to get by without a tour guide. Want to compete in a triathlon? Learn to swim. And, buy a bike. And, learn to ride a bike. Um. Is there a limit to the number of goals one can have? Probably not.

Assembling a toolkit sounds like a fun habit. Who doesn't have a bunch of objects in their closet/cellar/attic that they absolutely needed back when they definitely were going to:
1. Learn to cook (Cuisinart)
2. Work out every day while watching TV (stationery bike)
3. Learn photography (35mm film camera)
4. Raise tropical fish (tank, pump, filter, fish...uh-oh, are they still in the closet?!)

But having those things doesn't guarantee you'll use them. So go slow on the acquisition
of things. The most important thing in your toolkit is probably time: devote enough of that
to achieving your goal, even if it means giving up something else for a little while.

The hardest habit? Probably teaching/mentoring someone else. Why? Because that takes time, and nobody has enough of that.
