The new book from the printing house has a special smell — it's magic that brings you back to childhood and opens up whole worlds. E-readers don't know how to do that. Smartphone apps, though they try to recreate the magic of rustling pages, but it turns out they are so-so. Finally, a solid home library of printed books is a reason for pride. A folder with files on the computer or a list of publications in the application is unlikely.
Online calendars are really convenient. With them, you can arrange a meeting online in a few clicks and send out invitations or ask the voice assistant to set reminders without even touching the screen.
But, on the other hand, when you make notes with a pen on paper, you think more deeply and remember events better. A printed diary helps you focus on the important things. In addition, his battery will not run out and he will not turn off due to poor Internet at the most inopportune moment.
Making to—do lists manually in a notebook is a motivating activity. When you write down each goal on paper, you do it more consciously. There is a separate page prepared for each new day in the diary from Falafel Books. Unobtrusive point marking will help you divide your plans into blocks, draw diagrams or small illustrations.
A fragrant strong drink brewed in three rises — or the way you like it — is a cheerful idea for a morning or an eventful day. Some people spend their whole lives looking for the perfect way to make coffee in Turkey — and this path is filled with a lot of discoveries.
It's easier with coffee machines: I put money in the slot, pressed the button — and the drink in the paper cup is ready. But here it is impossible to choose the variety of grains and the degree of their roasting, as well as adjust the process of making a drink. As a result, at the exit you get an inexpressive drink with a sour‑cardboard taste.
Vinyl is forever. The rich analog sound allows you to convey all the nuances of the composition and present it exactly as the author intended. And Bluetooth speakers, due to technological features, give out a clean and clear, but always the same sound. Its palette is poorer, even if it supports the fresh aptX HD codec for transmitting 24‑bit sound and uncompressed FLAC files. Besides, records, like books, can be collected.
When the number of attempts is limited, each frame is planned in a special way. The soft effect of the film and its grain make it possible to convey the moment of shooting, mood, emotions. In addition, so far no digital technology has come close to the film's capabilities in terms of color rendering quality.
The smartphone, of course, is always with you, and the number of attempts to shoot with it is limited only by the capacity of the battery. You treat such photos easier, and it's more often just fixing funny views around, rather than a creative process.
Even if you are not a professional artist, with brushes and paints you will paint a picture that cannot be repeated. Over time, you can master different techniques to create paintings for your interior or as a gift to a loved one.
In graphic editors, you can also try different brushes, pencils or crayons, process a photo or a scanned drawing. But the ease of copying and sending such digital works reduces their value — if not at auction, then in the eyes of people who understand painting and graphics.
Cross or smooth — the choice is yours. In any case, even the smallest embroidery can turn a thing from a mass market into something unique. For example, come up with some kind of print and decorate an ordinary white T‑shirt with it. This kind of work is tough even for those who last held a needle and thread in a labor lesson at school.
The choice of stripes is usually limited. And it's rare to find an inspiring option in the nearest store, unless, of course, you want something other than the names of popular bands and brand logos.
Fresh, only from the frying pan, pancakes smell of childhood, love and care. And there are also deruns, fresh milk, fresh egg omelet...
In the delivery of ready-made food, of course, there are advantages: you do not need to waste time and dirty the kitchen, and such pancakes look instagram * her. But still, it's just delicious fast food cooked according to a standard recipe.
Over the past year and a half, everyone has managed to miss traveling abroad. But we must admit that all‑inclusive is, frankly, a monotonous vacation. And sunrises over the lake, gatherings around the campfire, barefoot walks in a flower-strewn clearing or a healthy sleep on the summer veranda give pure emotions and new impressions. Bonus: sometimes you can make friends with a huge neighbor's dog, pet a cow, drink water from a spring and tie a wreath of wildflowers.
If the last time you watched filmstrips in deep childhood, then urgently return this miracle of Soviet technology to your current life. The projector can be found inexpensively or even for free on ad sites. A white wall or a sheet will do for the screen. And then the magic begins: gather at night with your loved ones and watch children's fairy tales or something informative. YouTube can't do that. Yes, and there is a lot of advertising.
Even if you have a collection of stickers for all occasions in any messenger, congratulating friends or family with their help is a bad idea. Especially if these stickers wander from one greeting chat to another.
A handmade postcard will be remembered and will be kept for years, because your work and the warmest thoughts are invested in it. Yes, and in the process you will be able to unleash your creative abilities to the fullest.
"Monopoly", "Munchkin" or "Uno" will provide a good mood for both children and adults. These games have been tested for years and thousands of fun evenings. The main thing is to plan everything carefully and invite as many friends as possible.
In online games ‑ even if you play with a video chat — you will not be able to share emotions like that. And if at the moment of the battle with the boss there are problems with the Internet, then write at all is gone.
Don't forget about an important meeting, prepare for a game or count victory points — you can't do without a notebook!
