Elaine's actions

Create Your Own Action

Turn off all types of ghost power and beyond

I will add this to my family packing list/spreadsheet for long trips. I will then make sure on longer trips, i.e. Thanksgiving, Christmas, spring break, etc. that all power is turned off at source or power strip. I have thought about this for the last months/year and this will make me do it and teach my spouse and kids about it.

    I know the importance of doing a three week challenge but on this Monday morning, I am feeling tired.  I wish someone else would turn off all the lights and ghost power!

    Making a choice to adopt a dog that needs a home . . . .  Sage, two year old pure bred border collie that needed to be re-homed.  She is a great running partner.

    Here is what I am reflecting on today. I have added more actions to my list this year and I am both challenges and inspired.  Hard to keep on top of each one everyday, so I am giving myself permission take turns on what action I focus on for the tasks that take up time each day.
