Welcome to my channel Good Habits! This is Regan, your podcast host. ⓐ Today, I'll talk about a way to start the day in which many people, including me, find incredibly valuable. It's a kind of journaling called "the morning pages." " ⓑ There is no age when it is too late to make this habit. I started eight years ago as a high school student, and that's why today's episode is especially for my teenage subscribers. ⓒ The morning pages are three pages of "free writing" and they are ideally done first thing in the morning. The concept is simple. ⓓ Get up every morning, pick up a pen and a notebook, and write down anything that pops into your head until you have filled three pages. The technique was originally developed to help writers and artists to overcome a loss of creativity, ⓔ but anybody can use it to create a better life.

Philosophical activity is based on the recognition of ignorance. The philosopher's thirst for knowledge is shown through attempts to find better answers to questions even if those answers are never found. At the same time, a philosopher also knows that being too sure can hinder the discovery of other and better possibilities. In a philosophical dialogue, the participants are aware that there are things they do not know or understand. The goal of the dialogue is to arrive at a conception that one did not know or understand beforehand. In traditional schools, where philosophy is not present, students often work with factual questions, they learn specific content listed in the curriculum, and they are not required to solve philosophical problems. ______ In contrast, we know that awareness of what one does not know can be a good way to acquire knowledge. Knowledge and understanding are developed through thinking and talking. Putting things into words makes things clearer. ______ As a result, students must not be afraid of saying something wrong or talking without first being sure that they are right.

What distinguishes recycling is not its importance, but rather the ease with which individuals can participate, and the visibility of actions ① taken to promote the common good. You may care ② passionately about the threat of global warming or the destruction of the rain forests — but you can't have an immediate effect on these problems that ③ are perceptible to yourself or others. The rain forest salvation truck doesn't make weekly pickups, let alone the clean air truck. When a public opinion poll in 1990 asked people ④ what they had done in connection with environmental problems, 80 to 85% answered that they or their households had participated in various aspects of recycling; no other significant steps had been taken by a majority of respondents. Like the drunk ⑤ looking for his wallet under the lamppost, we may focus on recycling because it is where the immediate tasks are best illuminated.
