Eco-Chic Lifestyle Change Week 8: Weekly Update

What was your SMART goal?
My SMART goal was to take 3 minute showers everyday, except on shaving days where I would allow myself 7 minutes.

successes & challenges
This was again very easy for me. I had my usual routine and wasn't faced with many challenges. The only problem I had was that my CD player was moved out of the bathroom by someone and I was forced to sort of self-time myself. Since I have been doing this lifestyle change fairly regularly now, it wasn't very hard to guess approximately how many minutes I had. I also see this week as a huge success in another aspect, because I have told so many of my friends now that I notice people telling me about how they are trying it. 

feelings
I am sooooooooooooo EXCITED I influenced people enough that they wanted to be a part of an eco-chic lifestyle change. Yay!


What I learned..
I learned that even though changes like this may get boring, you can always invite others along on your change to keep it fun and worthwhile. Knowing that I am causing others to be more eco-friendly is enough to make me feel guilty if I don't keep mine up.  

plans for next week.. 
Next week.. I am going to maintain my success. I am going to challenge my friends to a shortest shower contest. I want to see how short we can make them while still getting clean :)
