    My goal is to turn off all screens by 10pm, and be asleep by 10:30pm. I've started to set an alarm on my phone for 10pm to remind me, otherwise I don't notice the time go by. I've also recruited my partner to encourage me and hold me accountable to my goal. This is even more helpful than the alarm since I tend to 'cheat' these kinds of things when left to my own devices.

    RE: Conserving toilet water: For obvious reasons I flush at work every time, but at home my partner and I have adopted the "if it's yellow, let it mellow" strategy. It might seem a little gross, but we have an old toilet at our apartment that has a MASSIVE tank, so I'm glad he was on board to flush less together.

    I didn't think eating less meat would be so hard, but this challenge made me realize how often I rely on it as a lunch and/or dinner option. But being conscious of my meal decisions every day is helping :)
