Eco-chic Lifestyle Change Week 4: Weekly Update

1) My SMART goal for last week was to shower for no more than 9 minutes each day. Not only did I achieve my goal, but I went for even less time. On average I showered for about 7 minutes. I did this by setting a timer on my phone. It helped that I was at my parents house too because often I couldn't shower for very long due to them running out of hot water.

2) I had a lot of successes this past week. There wasn't a single day that I didn't meet my goal or do better than it. My family is pretty large so when everyone's home there tends to not be very much hot water to go around in the mornings. I think this was an advantage for my goal, no one wants to shower in cold water. There wasn't much for obstacles this week. Over all it went pretty well.

3) As far as feelings go, I was annoyed if anything. This was because it's not very fun to have to shower in cold water. Overall though I feel sort of proud. It's nice to accomplish your goal and go above and beyond.

4) I learned that no one ever needs to shower for more than 10-15 minutes. It's a waste of water and time. It's totally do-able to shower in half that time, it just might take some practice.

5) My SMART goal for next week is to shower no more than 7 minutes per day. I've seen I can achieve this mark if I just stay committed to the goal. I decided it's better to challenge myself and work towards seeing results. Hopefully this goal is obtainable and will push me!

Eco-Chic Lifestyle Change Week 1- My Smart Goal

1) SMART Goal: I am going to cut down on the time it takes me to shower to 10 minutes or less starting today.

2) I think that this is good for the environment because we should be trying to conserve our water not waste it. There's really no need to take a 20 minute shower or more, when you can just get in and out in half the time. Not being wasteful is something we should all strive for.

3) I choose this goal because I often find myself taking too long in the shower, not only does it throw off my schedule for getting ready but it's just throwing a bunch of fresh water down the drain. I think that it's a habit that I need to break myself from because I now know how important water is from watching bottled.

4) As of today, I'm on the right track!
