Be conscientious about how much water I let run when I wash my face, brush my teeth, do dishes, etc. Also, consider doing less loads of laundry weekly.

REFLECTION QUESTIONSimplicity Less Screen TimeWhat 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?
casey walsh 10/08/2018 7:21 AMAt first it made me a little antsy, just because I was consciously thinking about it, but once I disconnected I didn't miss it. It was actually really refreshing. I went on a long walk in my neighborhood and just paid attention to what was happening around me, versus being glued to my phone. -
