Every Friday I’m summing up what you learnt in these last days of the #weekdaykickoff 🌊. Here we go!

Resist to drink coffee as a drug

You need the infusion of caffeine to be awake and kick-off your day. As a child and teen you didn’t need to. Why do you need coffee today? Think of why you take it every morning, throughout the day or in your „low“. Are you maybe out of juice or lacking motivation because what’s about to come in your day is not super exciting?

Spotify, streamed local radio stations and the music stored on your phone are your friends.

Still half an hour to go, you read the news on your phones — headlines only, and maybe some skimming of the first few paragraphs — while great tunes cheer you up and prepare you for your work day or the day at the university. You work while you study on the side.
