How I Spent a Productive Holiday

Starting from the second week of holiday, it felt like I spent it wastefully. I wanted to change so I searched for a way to start being productive. From the second week till the end of holiday I committed to myself that I will make a daily to do list. At the start of the day I listed things I'm gonna do including reading books, cleaning or organising my room, working out, practicing drum, journaling and manh more. At the end of the day I would update how many did I completed. I posted both of them on my second account on Instagram. Starting being productive was hard but staying productive was harder, but I reminded myself of my goals so I stayed till the end. After the holiday ended I felt proud of myself because I not only wanted to change but also took action. So don't stop at dreaming about your goals but start doing.

The Chaos That Brings Luck

Just like many other cultures around the world, Germany also has a wedding ritual that has been passed from one generation to another. Some people find it important to continue the ritual as it is deeply connected with various beliefs. On the other hand many questions arise, should we still continue it? Is it worth the waste?

Because it's a part of culture and uniqueness of a country, the choice is up to the people whether they decide to continue it or not. However because this ritual involves both many and various kinds of materials being broken, if it's possible I would recommend decreasing the amount while keeping the varieties. Even though one of the main beliefs is "Shards bring luck" and many even believe that the more the luckier, however it would be environmentally better if we can decrease the waste.
