Weight control is a popular topic because it has been proven to be a healthy habit. Let's learn some basics to talk to people who are losing or controlling their weight. 

Choose the right food. Every food is good, even a chocolate cookie. We just need to control the portions and take what we really need. For example, we need 1 teaspoon ( 2,300 mg) salt and about 6 teaspoons (24 grams) of sugar every day. Then, choose less salty dishes and too sweet desserts. Choose more low-carb food like vegetables and oatmeal. 

Eat regularly. You can quickly enter into storm eating when you are hungry. Eating regularly can avoid this and help you make explicit judgments on the right food to eat. 

Tracking calories Intake. Pay attending to the overall intake and getting used to tracking calories can help control our weight. 

Avoid eating blindly, like eating without realizing it. You may eat when you feel bored, watch a movie, or take a water break. The best way to do this is to keep food out of sight. Out of sight, out of mind. Find something more interesting to do than eat.

​International Museum Day is celebrated on May 18th each year. Since 1977, the International Council of Museums (ICOM) has celebrated this day annually to pay tribute to the international museum community. Museums are vital venues for cultural exchange and enrichment, as well as for the development of peaceful coexistence. 

Productivity is about getting the most out of time. Achieving productivity relies on a plan of what to do and how to complete the work. We find some practical principles. 

Start with prioritization. It's a waste of time if we spend our time on unimportant things, which taking time away from what matters the most. We all have limited time. Therefore, we have to learn to make a choice. 

Remain focused. Again, we have limited energy and resources. Laser focus on the present task ensures productivity and can enjoy more during the process. The result is often the best we can get, which is good enough. 

Keep things simple. There are millions of ways to get things done. Avoid over-planning. A simple list of to-dos and a calendar to block time should be sufficient. Overly ordering, analyzing, and documenting wouldn't help with the results. 

Stay Organized. It's easier to organize when we have a bigger picture and give everything a dedicated home. Organizing involves grouping tasks, scheduling time on the calendar, completing things in order,  and decluttering anything that can cause distractions, such as the desk, the email inbox, and our wandering mind.

End with reflections. Look back to find where to improve. Reflection triggers the cycle of acceleration. ​​​

Of course, being aware of time and immersing ourselves in the present is essential. ​
