# Section 2: The Seven Habits of Reflective LLM Use

- [Habit 0: Protect the Commons → Reflect Before You Reveal](https://praxistutor.gitbook.io/llm/reframing-the-7-habits-for-reflective-llm-use/section-2-the-seven-habits-of-reflective-llm-use/habit-0-protect-the-commons-reflect-before-you-reveal.md): “Reflection starts with restraint.”
- [Habit 1: Be Proactive → Own the Prompt](https://praxistutor.gitbook.io/llm/reframing-the-7-habits-for-reflective-llm-use/section-2-the-seven-habits-of-reflective-llm-use/habit-1-be-proactive-own-the-prompt.md): “I am not a passive recipient of AI outputs. I shape the dialogue. I architect the prompt.”
- [Habit 2: Begin with the End in Mind → Frame the Output’s Role](https://praxistutor.gitbook.io/llm/reframing-the-7-habits-for-reflective-llm-use/section-2-the-seven-habits-of-reflective-llm-use/habit-2-begin-with-the-end-in-mind-frame-the-outputs-role.md): “Start the prompt by knowing where the output is meant to land.”
- [Habit 3: Put First Things First → Prioritize Depth over Speed](https://praxistutor.gitbook.io/llm/reframing-the-7-habits-for-reflective-llm-use/section-2-the-seven-habits-of-reflective-llm-use/habit-3-put-first-things-first-prioritize-depth-over-speed.md): “Don’t chase fast answers. Build layered clarity.”
- [Habit 4: Think Win-Win → Co-Create with the Model](https://praxistutor.gitbook.io/llm/reframing-the-7-habits-for-reflective-llm-use/section-2-the-seven-habits-of-reflective-llm-use/habit-4-think-win-win-co-create-with-the-model.md): “LLMs aren’t search engines. They are cognitive mirrors. Treat them as creative partners, not vending machines.”
- [Habit 5: Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood → Listen to the Model’s World](https://praxistutor.gitbook.io/llm/reframing-the-7-habits-for-reflective-llm-use/section-2-the-seven-habits-of-reflective-llm-use/habit-5-seek-first-to-understand-then-to-be-understood-listen-to-the-models-world.md): “Read not just what the model says, but how it sees. Not to accept it, but to understand the logic behind it and test if it holds up in the real world.”
- [Habit 6: Synergize → Let Friction Refine Thought](https://praxistutor.gitbook.io/llm/reframing-the-7-habits-for-reflective-llm-use/section-2-the-seven-habits-of-reflective-llm-use/habit-6-synergize-let-friction-refine-thought.md): “Don’t seek agreement. Seek evolution through tension.”
- [Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw → Build Reflective Fluency](https://praxistutor.gitbook.io/llm/reframing-the-7-habits-for-reflective-llm-use/section-2-the-seven-habits-of-reflective-llm-use/habit-7-sharpen-the-saw-build-reflective-fluency.md): “Don’t just use the model. Use the usage to upgrade yourself.”
