According to School Library Learning 2.0 (http://schoollibrarylearning2.csla.net/2007/02/2-week-1-lifelong-learning-habits.html), these are the Seven and 1/2 Habits of Highly Successful Lifelong Learners:
1. Begin with the end in mind.
2. Accept responsibility for your own learning.
3. View problems as challenges.
4. Have confidence in yourself as a competent, effective learner.
5. Create your own learning toolbox.
6. Use technology to your advantage.
7. Teach/mentor others.
7.5. Play and have fun!

I am pretty successful with 2-7.5. It is number one that is the challenge. I don't always begin with the end in mind. I tend to take more of a shot-gun approach. There is so much interesting stuff out there--it is so hard to focus!
