    Ok so shorter showers are getting easier as long as I am fully awake to know what I am doing :)

    Needs vs. Wants....do you think this also has to do with food? I'm sure if I get just what I need for lunch and not what I want....I could save more money.

    I think I get a little too sleepy in the morning to rush in the shower.  Maybe I should wake up earlier and try to get a start on it?

      High efficiency washers are excellent. It only adds the amount of water needed for the amount of clothes you have in the washer at the time. So if I am just washing a few small items it will only add a little bit of water! Highly recommend them.

    I challenged myself to take only 5 minute showers.  That's harder than I thought it would be.  I can absolutely do six but I think I'm not awake enough to move faster.
