After browsing the Google site I found several interesting tools there. I did not know that there were book reviews and working in a library, this will definitely be used. I will point out the Google patents to my husband who seems to have patents in the works all the time. There seem to be lots of useful tools for anyone with lots of time on their hands. That seems to be the case with computers in general. There is plenty out there for those who would like to find it.

Interestingly enough, once I set up a Google account, I no longer could send Google alerts to my alternative email address, one I use more than the Gmail account. Prior to setting up the gmail account, I was able to send alerts to any email address. I still recieve those alerts to that alternative email.

In regards to what I find easy or hard of the 71/2 habits, I would say creating my own learning toolbox is probably one that I use the least. I tend to jump into a problem and do not prepare for what I will need to complete the task. That is not to say I don't think about the end result, I just somehow get there. I probably accumulate my tools without even knowing it. Using technology to my own advantage is also something that happens without intentionally doing so. I tend to use the same routine/technology and not until someone else suggests trying something new, do I. In fact I would not be blogging if it was not suggested that I try it out.

As far as what is the easiest habit for me, I'd have to say having confidence in myself as a competent, effective learner is it. I probably have way more confidence in myself than I should but I do seem to accomplish the goals I set. I tend not to let the little details bog me down, maybe this is how I get so much done.
