I believe that I posses habit #8: Exchange drafts with others. I love getting other people's opinions on my papers, research, articles etc. I try and show them to people of all ages whether those people be friends, writing lab tutors, parents, other teachers and so on. I find it extremely helpful to get various points of view and new ideas for my paper. Also I find that when proof reading you're own paper, you tend to not see all of your little mistakes because you know what you MEANT to say versus what you actually said on paper. Research papers in particular are great for this. Other people may have opposing view points, know of facts, studies, and websites you didn't consider, or simply give you a good idea of how interesting or boring your paper may be. The more peer reviews the better, which is why I'm glad we do them in class at least once.
One habit I would like to possess is habit #9: Save corrections for last. I tend to focus on the proofreading and editing of my paper first simply because I can spot those mistakes and they are easy to fix versus the changing of whole ideas or development of the assignment. If I could develop the habit of saving corrections till last I would probably save time and make me more productive.
