I have gotten my showers down to 7 minutes while also taking them colder than I did before. I have been able to do this every time I have showered since we started the project. I would be pretty likely to continue this habit even if the project ended today based on how much water, time, and money I save just by this basic habit change. It also helps the environment by saving water that we can see being used in other areas on the map₂. Around the first ten days, it was pretty easy to take shorter showers without thinking about it. Since it wasn't a super large change it took a shorter time to get used to than the article predicted₁. The article makes me just as likely to continue my habit as I was before I read it. It is important for people to know its hard to change big habits in the 21 days even if that's what they have heard.

Do you think that the change you have made in your habit is large enough to have an impact?
ReplyDeleteHow often do you take shorter showers in a day?
ReplyDeleteAre there any personal factors motivating you to take shorter showers, like having more time in the morning to eat or go to school?
ReplyDeleteDid you calculate how much money, water and time you saved for each shower or throughout the project?
