Replace Bad Habits With New Skills

Ready for a Change?

Your Library has you covered!

One of my goals for 2019 is to replace some bad habits by learning a new skill. I have found in the past that if I replace a habit with something else, rather than just stop the habit cold turkey, I have more success.

Once I choose my new hobby/skill/routine, I have to be willing to fail before I get good at it. Perfection can’t be part of the vocabulary here; practice makes progress!

Your library can help you learn just about anything! Did you know that we have over 1000 “dummies” books in our collection, 238 of those in digital format?
