Laugh!

Give yourself credit.

Realize that you are better at some things than others.

Focus on your strengths – not your weaknesses.

Give yourself credit when you reach a goal and praise yourself when you have done well.

Motivate yourself. If you don't know why you want to learn, then distractions will be far more enticing.

Why do you want to learn something new?

What do you want to achieve through learning?

Set a goal.

Here’s a hint: Set your goal on the

skills or knowledge you want to

acquire.

A goal is something you want.

Think positive.There's no point

in setting learning goals for yourself if you don't have

faith in your ability to learn.

Organize.When you organize your time and tasks it is easier to schedule time for learning.

There are some great web based tools for organizing?Any many of them are free!

You can have reminders emailed to

you and you can access your online calendar from any

computer!

You can set your calendar to send MSN

Alerts.

You can have reminders sent to IM or

your mobile device!

You may be surprised

about what you already

know about a topic. Figure out

what you don't know, and then get

ready to learn.

Remember!Every skill is learned.

If one person can learn something, so

can you.

• An effective way to remember what you learn is to create a blog. Blog about your learning experience with iHCPL.

• Doing so helps you to realize what you know and more importantly what you don't.

• You don't even have to spend money if you grab a freebie account with Typepad, Wordpress, or Blogger.

Get moving!Write about it.

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!
