# <center>OCD DAILY - Issue #312</center>

<h2><center>**Welcome to the 312th issue of @OCD Daily!**</center></h2>

Issue #312 highlights content from ` ten (10) ` Steem Content Creators! The OCD team continues its search throughout Steem to find you the undervalued gems, as provided by relatively new users.

Today our curators found ` ten (10) ` new pieces of original content! We strive to find works that are created by newer Steem users, that may not have the audience with which to share their quality content. @OCD strives to help provide that audience and intends to showcase Steem users who put in the extra effort to create creative, original content.

<center><b>The @OCD nomination process</b></center>

*A curator will **FIND** a piece of work (typically from newer users). Within 24 hours that piece has been submitted from the curator to the @OCD team, curator votes are tallied, and the pieces with the most votes are included in the compilation.*

We encourage you to visit these blogs and show these great Steemians your support and encouragement.

<center>If you enjoyed their work, give them a Follow or maybe even say Hello!</center>

All of the content chosen by our curators is undervalued, but there is always one piece that rises to the top. That piece is universally appreciated and valued by our curators making it OCD’s Top Nomination of the Day.

####  <center>Our next nomination of the day is from @rgame</center>
<center>What to do during holidaysIt can make a big difference in a person's future development. You can sit and watch the time go by or just do something. For a traveler that's an easy decision, you just need to explore even if it's just around your community. For @rgame For Jose it turned out very well since  he lives in the Bucovina region,a place known for its monasteries.

####  <center>Our next nomination of the day is from @denmarkguy</center>
<center>Why is everyone sad? We live in times where we are supposedly more connected than ever over our social sites and yet here we are still feeling absolutely alone at times. @denmarkguy ponders about the underlying causes of why so many these days are depressed. Are we more connected or disconnected? Are we introverted loners or simply lacking coping skills and real life interactions? What do you think? @denmarkguy invites you to discuss this with him and others in comments. </center>

####  <center>Our next nomination of the day is from @digitaldan</center>
<center>Ever thought about making your own wallet from scratch? @digitaldan needed a slim wallet and have made himself one from designing, cutting and putting the leather together. In this post, you can see the finished product and what he thoughts were of his design. I wish I was this talented and can make something I needed rather than go to the shops and can’t find the “it” product. You can also find the design and planning phase link from this post. </center>

####  <center>Our next nomination of the day is from @oluwatobiloba</center>
<center>This is the story of a brave young woman served with her corps in a Nigerian Village and got incredibly ill while doing so. It's a story of sickness and shock when she discovered how some of the villages in her country look like - and how small children die from different diseases. The author @oluwatobiloba pleads to her authorities to help save the young children who live in awful circumstances in the rural areas of Nigeria. A post worth reading.</center>
