Taylor Schulz 10/23/2017 10:20 PMIt's super weird to think that this is the last day to complete the tasks. I did many daily tasks because I wanted to really impact my every day life and see what things I could change just in the matter of two weeks. It's not even a question anymore to if I take a 5 minute shower. Doing that now is just so normal for me now, along with not having distractions while eating. I used to be really good at this until I moved out on my own and didn't really have many people to accompany me while it was dinner time. In short, I have really enjoyed all of the daily challenges the most. -
Taylor Schulz 10/17/2017 9:29 PMI have found it much easier to take an even shorter shower than I have been already with getting my hair cut on Monday. I cut 7 inches off and I have found that I don't need ot spend extra time in the shower trying to wash and rise off all of the products. -
Taylor Schulz 10/13/2017 8:11 PMI've found it very hard to commit to 3 cooked meals a day with no waste especially since I work at a fast food restaurant. It's hard for myself, but also watching how much food other people waste and not being able to tell them about wasting without scaring them away.
