Many representatives of the older generation have never managed to get rid of their outdated Soviet habits.
Try to avoid doing these things.
Perhaps, a few decades ago, such habits were beneficial.
But in the modern world, such behavior only hinders a person.
Many people who lived during the Soviet era were in no hurry to throw things away. And this even included old and broken items.
The reasoning was something like this: "I won't get rid of this. What if it comes in handy and I can't buy a replacement?"
Nowadays, this approach has lost its relevance. There is no shortage of industrial goods.
Now there is no need to "hoard" and turn into "Plyushkin". Feel free to throw away what is difficult to fix and what is unlikely to be used in everyday life. Do not turn your apartment into a warehouse of unnecessary things.
There is nothing wrong with saving moderately. But don't let it get to the point where you worry about every penny.
Remember the popular wisdom: "A miser pays twice."
In Soviet times, many people liked to communicate with colleagues on personal topics. And this was often done not only in their free time, but also during work hours.
This habit should be gotten rid of. Working hours should be devoted only to professional activities. A person who is constantly distracted by personal conversations is unlikely to be able to do his job well.
