The beginning of the new year inspired me to write this blog article, because I always start the year with renewed strength and motivation. Many people don't like this, they think it's forced, but closing the old year and welcoming the new year gives me a boost. Maybe it's because for years now I've been really closing, letting go, summarizing my previous year and welcoming, "planning" the new one. The YearCompass , which I will fill out this year as well (I'm not done with it yet, but I'm not in a hurry :)), is a big help in this.

If you want durable, high-quality jewelry, but...
Well, yes, a sharp change. Or maybe not so much? To be honest, I loved working in my first profession. I liked the daily consistency, that every day approx. I went to work at the same time and came home from work at the same time. Of course, this is not entirely true, because if I was teaching, or the experiment I was working on that day took longer, or I had to start earlier than usual, then I left earlier or stayed longer.
