The 2nd thing

The 2nd thing to do as psrt of the iHCPL program was to watch a presentation of tips on learning habits. It talked about getting organized and finding time to really get the most of the program. It suggested an hour each day to read through new information and practice. The even suggested making a learning contract like this:

My iHCPL Contract for Learning
• I will develop a routine by setting aside time to work each day. I will try to find at least one hour where I can dedicate myself to the iHCPL program at the same time each week.
•I will work on one lesson at a time. This will prevent my missing important information or forgetting to complete an assignment.
• I will not rush myself. I will learn the information and then move on to the next exercise.
• I will find a quiet place to study. This will help me concentrate and forget about everything else in my life for awhile.
• I will work with my supervisor to determine the best times for me to complete the iHCPL exercises.
• If I need to finish something that is work related, I will finish that first. I will not rush my learning experience. If I miss a day of study time, I will continue on my schedule and finish when I am ready.
• Balancing my job and iHCPL may take time. I will have to see which time of day I am able study without distraction. My job needs will have to come first, but since I will be working at my own pace, I should not feel discouraged if I miss a day or two of exercises.
• I will consult a coworker if I am having difficulties. We can share and learn from each other.
• I will have fun! You can print this later.

I thought there were some great ideas. This is not something to stress over and should be fun and encouraging. Okay, now that I am caught up on my posts, let me give you week three. These will be the next three posts I make.
