The easiest habit for me is that I view problems as challenges. Whenever I have a problem I work through until I get a solution. I will research and try out new ideas until I come up with the a myriad or the best solution.
The hardest habit for me to use is the "begin with the end in mind." I have numerous ideas that I come up with that I think will be very beneficial to my class but I don't always see how it will effect my students until afterward. The learning contract was very beneficial for me in helping me think through some of my ideas before getting to far into the idea.
I did want to disagree with their definition of learning. It is not just acquiring a new skill or knowledge but being able to manipulate that information/skill and use it out of the context in which it was taught. Student's can regurgitate information without ever learning anything.

"Beginning with the end in mind" for me means that I know what I want the students to do or where I want the students to go. How they end up there is not always the way I think they will.
