16 Habits Of Mind

The three habits of mind that come easily to me are:
1. Persistance.
When it comes to getting something just right, or finishing something that I'm engaged in, I am naturally very persistent. If that div just won't align right, or the text is off by a couple pixels, I wont' stop until it's just how I like it.

2. Applying Past knowledge to new situations.
I do this every time I make a website. Although, I have a lot of codes and syntaxes in my mind, I forget some of the ones that I don't use as often, like forms. I have to go back to previous work, where I knew what I was doing, and go from that.

3. Finding Humor.
A quote I try to live by is: "If its funny later, its funny now." For example. If you've locked your keys in your car and its raining outside and no one can give you a ride, that's not funny then. But down the road you'll be laughing at it, so it's actually funny that your wet and stranded.

The 3 habits of mind that I find difficult to understand/emulate are:

1. Managing Impulsivity.
I have ADD, maybe even ADHD, so a lot of what I do is impulsive if I don't sit down and think about it for a bit. Just the other day though, I was going to go to Carytown to get some new wheels for my skateboard, and I controlled myself and did schoolwork instead. That's been pretty much the only time though...

2. Thinking and communicating with accuracy and precision.
It's not so much communicating with precision, it's thinking. My thoughts jump from one thing to the next. Usually, they only jump when there is some connecting line like a date, or a feeling. Other times I'll be thinking about for example what I need to do for school, and my ADD will kick in and I'll just start watching TV or something.

3. Thinking interdependently.
This is a bog one for me. I'm a perfectionist, so having to trust somebody to do something or hold a large part of a task for me is hard to get over. If it's not just right, I'll fine-tune it until it is. For me. I think I have a long road to travel down to get this working 100%...
