7 and a half habits

Hi,
Looking through the 71/2 habits of effective lifelong learners one thing seems easy: Setting Goals! Setting goals can be really easy. One should never anticipate smooth sailing and having a fall back position where the level of achievment is slightly shy of where you are now is often preferable to soul crushing failure.
Now the difficult thing is maintaining a functional tool kit. This totally ignores the impact of two preschool age energetic boys. If the item within the toolkit is physical it is likely to be covered with porridge and coloured in like Buzz Lightyear. If the item is software it will be deleted and replaced by videos of a cartoon bear. If it is more of a guideline or a rule, if it doesn't result in time in the naughty corner for non adherence, it is likely to be ignored.
Lifelong learning comes in many forms.
