1) Goal: I am going to shower no more than 10 minutes everyday. I do this by each day setting a timer on my phone before I just in the shower for 10 minutes. I try to be out of the shower by the time this timer goes off. I do this to ensure that I'm meeting my goal.
2) It's actually a pretty reasonable goal. The timer is really the key to the goal, it really keeps me on track and it reminds me of what Im trying to accomplish everyday. I face a problem with my goal when I am tired in the morning because it's hard for me to keep on a tight schedule so early. As I stated the timer also helps, but I also have started to drink coffee before hand so I'm more inclined to stick to schedule because I'm more awake.
3) I don't associate this goal with any strong feelings although I do feel a bit of accomplishment each day when I complete my mission.
4) I learned that despite liking to take long showers and feeling like its a must, it's really not. Its easy enough to take a quick shower and more over it helps me stay on schedule when getting ready in the morning. I also learned that there's really no excuse to not taking quick showers, and it's helpful for the environment.
5) I'm basically going to stick to the same goal except change the time limit. I will now be trying to do a sub 10 minute goal. I'm going to aim for 9 minutes this week and then take it from there. I feel that this is manageable because I already have enough time as is.

I love your goal. I think it is such a great idea. I am not sure if I would be able to keep up with it, so I am impressed you are moving to 9 minutes. I might try just setting a timer on my phone and see how long it takes, just out of curiousity. I remember when I was a kid, I always tried to shower in 5 minutes, that definitely wouldn't fly these days but I used to be able to do it, so 10 minutes should be pretty reasonable. I am glad to see you be successful with this since it does better the whole environment, especially if we could convince lots of people to do it too.
