REFLECTION QUESTION
Waste

How could you incorporate other "R's" -- reduce, reuse, refuse, repair, repurpose, etc. -- into your lifestyle?

A new trend I have noticed at several fast food restaurants is that you will be asked if you want a straw when ordering a drink. This has made completing this challenge a lot easier for me; the question centers me and reminds me of my goal.

  I accidently clicked reflection question, I meant to post this just as a post of today's challenge specifically; hence my post doesn't actually answer that question

REFLECTION QUESTION
Simplicity

What 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?
Avi Halperin 10/17/2019 9:56 PM
The most prominant screen time in my life, and many others' I would imagine, is my phone. It's damn near impossible to ignore, because its (almost) always with you, and there are so many different functions this small screen can do that it's easy to lose track of how much time you spend using it. One of the ways that I have chosen to reduce the amount of screen time in a day is that I am going to delete snapchat from my phone for a few months. My friend recently did it, and he said that he has been able to focus much more on the important tasks he has, and that he is on his phone less often.

Health

How can you incorporate other personal values (like quality time with friends or spending time in nature) into your exercise routine?

Finding someone to workout with you, a friend or family member, is a great way to spend time together, and keep each other accountable for your goals, and helps stay motivated
