Day 7! I usually have too many ideas in my head to implement, so feel free to steal some.
My theme for today is a better society.

How can me improve on the European (German) society, so it's fair for everyone.

  1. if you defend your fundamental rights as a citizen in front of the court, the state should pay for lawyers (right now you have few power as citizen against a business with much money and institutes of the state itself)
  2. people who do volunteer work should get financial support by the state - those contribute much to make our society a better place
  3. a fixed percentage of a city district is used to build parks and forests - those filter the air & provide relaxation. A recent study of the British government showed that forests help to live longer and work more productively (shortened lives trough air pollution is sadly a thing)
  4. a city of colors, a city where citizen fill the facades of their houses with art - this can contribute to a more lively, positive environment
  5. implement the concept of "Liquid Democracy" to give the citizen power in decision making processes again
  6. declutter the laws, make them understandable by everyone - in Germany exists a huge amount of laws - even lawyers are unable to look trough and understand all of them
  7. stop managing educational and sanitary institutions as businesses
  8. pay less money for wars, pay more for the society
  9. decrease the hurdles for small businesses, for a flourishing economy
  10. stop valuing the worth of the country by it's GDP and start valuing it by the Social Progress Index - an international standard for rating the quality of society, the quality of living

HOW YOU CAN IMPROVE THE SOCIETY: donate every month to organisations helping to make the world a better place, e.g. the red cross

every little donation helps! Be nice, offer your help without expecting anything in return, fight for the rights of others.

I would love to hear your thoughts on this!

Day 6! I usually have too many ideas in my head to implement, so feel free to steal some.
My theme for today is apartment.

  1. create table gardens by putting several plants in a larger container
  2. grow herbs right in your kitchen for tastier and healthier meals
  3. with green being the most relaxing color for the eye, hang greenery images as point of rest
  4. put clothes sorted as complete outfit in the cupboard to save time
  5. create a "timetravel" box, where you put in photos, etc. of emotional value
  6. use warm, moody lightening to comfort yourself (this helps being more creative, too)
  7. collect the water of the sink to water your plants
  8. idea box: write your ideas down on notes and drop them into a paper box - when coming up with new ideas look for inspiration there
  9. create a tea brewing spot consisting of a water boiler, with cups and tea in a cupboard above, bonus: grow plants next to it, e.g. mint
  10. create a rest spot with soft pillows, moody lightening and green or brown colors (=balance, rest)
