To get started, share “your why.” Why did you join the challenge and choose the actions you did?

Mike Carey 4/22/2022 10:04 AM

This experience has caused me to look at so many aspects of my life that I thought were fine as is, but I now see I can do better. Nothing like reality to let you know you still have plenty of distance to go. Great job everybody. I believe we all got nothing but positive energy out of this.

What would you like to invest more time in reflecting on?

Consider how many hours of sleep you get now. How would you like to shift your sleep patterns? What are you finding works for you to be successful in this action?

Mike Carey 4/19/2022 5:55 AM

I am trying to get to sleep earlier so that I can maintain a 7.5 minimum hours slept a night, and it seems that I can only do that when I limit myself to an 8 hour work day. And cut out regular at home tasks. And not do hobbies. How does anybody find the time to do anything anymore???

It's amazing. Every time I chose not to buy something new I end up repurposing something that I forgot I had. This is not only saving me money but reducing the amount of waste produced in my home.

How do you experience your neighborhood or city differently when walking instead of driving?
