REFLECTION QUESTIONSimplicityWhat 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?
Toaster Vernooy 10/24/2018 4:53 PMI noticed that I spent my time doing things that I really enjoy, like playing violin or reading, instead of wasting my time. It wasn't very hard for me to choose these things over screen time, since I really like doing those activities. -
Toaster Vernooy 10/24/2018 4:50 PM'What have you noticed about your purchases? Where are you inclined to make shifts, if any?'
I honestly don't really buy anything much. For some things, friends and I pool money together to buy something (like we did for the 'Menu for the Future book). If I do buy something, it is normally very inexpensive and is something that I intend to use a lot (like a book that I know I will read - over and over.) -
