Why we love Mondays

#2 This is <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">my</s>the second entry of my <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">30 days</s>30-day challenge. (Oder "This is *my* second entry *in* my 30-day challenge")

I think Mondays are great, because we <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">can</s> get to go back to work and enjoy all our meaningful and fulfilling <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">to do's</s> tasks. Every e-mail, meeting, and task is so important. Nothing can wait until tomorrow.

I hope you got the irony.

It's important to find balance between work and free time. I know so many people who <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">got</s> get lost in work and don't know how to spend their free time anymore (is it also correct to use spare time in this context? Ja :) "leisure time", "personal time", usw. sind immer die Gleiche ).

Actually, I have so many projects apart from work<s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">,</s> that I can't take people <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">seriously</s> who get bored <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">in</s> with their evenings seriously. There are <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">a lot</s> so many things to learn, read, and <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">to</s> discover. But here we are, everybody with the same 24 hours a day. In my opinion there are 3 valuable resources: <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">T</s>time, energy and money. Many people just focus on money. But money without time and energy is useless. Focus on time, because time is the most valuable. You can spent money and earn new money. You can rest to fill your body with new energy. But you can't get time back. Every minute which passes is gone forever. On the other hand you need energy to fill your time with the essential things (what's essential is <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">an individual choice</s>up to you).

See you tomorrow.

Nochmal sehr gut gemach!

1) "get to" ist wie "can" aber bedeutet, dass es ein Genuss wäre. "I was on a diet, but now I finally get to eat cake!"

2) "meaningful and fulfilling to-do's" war ehr komisch. Ich würde "to-do" ausweichen. Es hat lediglich idiomatische Benutzungen.

3) Der Satz, der mit "Actually I have so many..." beginnt, hat eine quasi-deutsche Reihenfolge. Auf Englisch soll "who get board with their evenings" nah "people" sein, weil sie stark verbunden sind.

4) "Up to you" — Eine Redewendung, die heißt, dass es deine Wahl ist. (Gibt es sowas auf Deutsch?)

<s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">On</s> For the next thirty days, I will write <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">a</s> one blog entry per day

For the next 30 days I will write a blog entry every day. It is easy to get distracted in <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">todays</s> today's modern world, but I will do it. Today people want to do everything at the same time and do not <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">realise</s> realize<s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">,</s> that this is not possible. The only solution is to set priorities for myself based on my values and my goals.

I try to <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">life</s> live more mindfully and appreciate what I have. In my opinion it's not true to say "the grass is always greener <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">not he</s> one the other side".

Sehr gut gemacht! Ein paar Notizen:

1) Man benützt "for", wenn man ausdrucken möchte, wie lange etwas dauern wird (order gedauert hat). "For the next 10 day I will try and be healthy" "He was king for 10 years"

2) "I will write a blog entry per day" war falsch. "a" und "one" sind nicht dieselbe. "per day" braucht eine Zahl, aber "a" ist keine. Du hätte "I will write a blog entry each day" schreiben können, weil "each" braucht kein zahl (genau wie jeweils, oder?)

3) "Mindful" ist ein Adjektiv, "Mindfully" ist ein Adverb. Adverben sind immer "ly"-Wörter auf English (wir mischen Adj und Adv fast nie im Unterschied zu Deutsch)

Gib mir Beschied, wenn du das nicht verstehen könntest! Oder wenn du mehr Fragen hast :)
