What's in a name?

According to my Apple dictionary, admittedly not a definitive source, a ‘consideration’ is a thought, reflection, meditation, concern, rumination etc. I would like this blog to do those things. I’m hoping I can keep the posts positive because, as someone once reminded me, it is important to practise the habits of mind that you value and want to foster. For me those are: positivity, curiosity, openness and self-reflection (hence, a blog is a good forum).


Also, I’m calling them 'small' because I would like to try to get into the habit of blogging briefly but often. That way I can reflect on everyday occurrences and make this form of writing and thinking a habit, hopefully.

The benefits of turning off the TV (87/100)

Since it's Winter it easier to get cozy and lethargic, spending hours in front of the TV, which is in the only properly heated room in our house. Those times I feel mind-numbed and slothful when I finally turn it off and go to bed. Tonight, we turned off the TV an hour before bed. The benefits of that were: cleaning up the kitchen before climbing into bed and wishing we'd done it before; having enough time and energy to read or do other things in bed before falling asleep; and feeling productive and stimulated by the evenings entertainment rather than dulled by it. I need to not get sucked into mindless TV, but it's easy and energy-dampening, and

therefore self-perpetuating. Now I'm going to implement a screen time curfew, and put this computer away.
