Is it Friday yet? Meeting my ecochallenges has helped me feel accomplished, so there's that.

I'm using my handy-dandy double insulated beverage container with a sippy lid filled with ice cold water! I'm set to stay hydrated.

If only I could shut off the part of my brain that keeps working even when I am not at work...

Is there an app that provides daily inspirational messages for living life to its fullest while supporting a sustainable way of living? Something to keep reminding me of "the collective beauty of impact" and how my choices will make an impact.

  There are several sustainability apps; I don't know about inspirational messages.
  Of the ones in these articles, I'm thinking about trying out rippl or joulebug.
  
  If there's one you find and like, please let me know and we can recommend it to the wellness committee.

When my own container isn't available or possible, I may use a bottle of water but I will reuse the container for multiple days and recycle the bottle after a week. It's not a perfect world with perfect situations that we live in and so, I can only do my best.

I'm committing to work-life balance because my family deserves my attention at least as much as my job does.

Sleep is better when not crowded by overly loving cats unless they cry at the door all night. Ear plugs and sound machine for the win!

REFLECTION QUESTION
Simplicity

Is practicing work-life balance difficult to do? How does it feel when you first begin? How does this feel for you after 21 days?
Peggy Greene 10/01/2018 10:51 AM
This balance is especially difficult when there are looming deadlines. Even when I shut off my work for the night it's difficult to train my brain to let it go until the next working day. For the last week, I have found I am eager to leave on time so that I have more time and energy for enjoying family time in the evening.
