DAILY ACTIONS

Create Your Own Action

Less Paper Towels!

Shaking your hands in the sink after washing your hands reduces the need for extra paper towels! By using this trick I can reduce my paper towel needs to just 1 paper towel. Of course air dryers are preferred but they are not always available.

The double sided printing has taken some getting used to (with faxing double sided papers) but this has made me realize how much paper I was wasting before. I've been trying to forego paper altogether and it's been a challenge but it's also improving my workflow. Keep up the good work :)

REFLECTION QUESTION
Simplicity Less Screen Time

What did you notice in implementing this challenge? Was it hard to choose other activities over screen time? How did you decide to spend your time?

Nancy Cobian 10/02/2018 7:22 AM
