Thing #1

Out of the 7 and 1/2 habits, the easiest one for me to accomplish will be the 1st.
"Begin with the end in mind"
This is a habit I have always lived by. It has been instilled in me by my parents, teachers, and others whom I look up to. It{s what motivates me to keep moving forward. I am an avid planner. From the moment I get up in the morning I make a to do list, including miniscule tasks such as "check work schedule" or "clean bathroom sink". On a bigger scale I have a five year plan with a vague destination in mind. Teaching and speaking Spanish. This habit will be easy for me to master because I know what my end is and I am ecstatic to reach it!
Honestly, I feel that the last habit that will be the hardest for my to accomplish will be #7 1/2
"To play"
For the past three years I have been on my own. I pay my tuition and all my bills. My focus has been to do everything I possibly can to reach my goals with ease. This means studying my hardest, and working more than one job if I have to. This has turned me into a bit of a workaholic over the past three years, and I have forgotten how to play. It's very difficult for me to put my troubles aside and relax. When I try to enjoy a new hobby, take a simple break to breath, I can't seem to put my mind to ease. I would love to learn how to accomplish my goals, but at the same time "play". I feel that would increase my productivity if I could put my mind to ease.
