April Earth Challenges Week 2

This week I'll be reducing my water usage to help save water. I'm cutting my shower time to five minutes or less and making sure to turn off the tap while brushing and shaving.

April Earth Challenges Week One

Week one's challenge is to recycle as much as I can. This means sorting through garbage and pulling out plastic that can be recycled.

April Daily Challenge

Use a reusable cup all month. This means no buying plastic bottles from the convenience store.

April Earth Challlenges

With two major holidays that help the Earth, I figured April would be a great time to do some challenges to help out the environment. http://innovatechallenge.weebly.com/april.html

March Healthy Habits Week Four

This week has me cutting out my desserts: cookies, chocolate, and candy. I have a bit of a sweet tooth, so this should be a good test of my self control:)

March Healthy Habits Week 3

Week 3 has me cutting out alcohol and cutting back my caffeine to only a cup of coffee a day. I realized that I had been drinking a lot of coffee over the past couple months. So, I've decided to try to get that under control. http://innovatechallenge.weebly.com/march.html

March Week 2 Healthy Habits

It's all about my pearly whites this week. This means no pop/soda, and extra teeth care. I'm going to make sure to floss and use mouthwash twice a day on top of brushing. By the end of the week, my teeth should be clean and shiny:)

March Week 1 Healthy Habits Challenge

Five of my meals this week need to be replaced by salads. I'm hoping this will get me in the mindset of eating healthier and not forgetting my veggies.

March Healthy Habits Challenges

March brings the start of spring and with it good weather. I want to make sure I am healthy and ready to go enjoy the weather. This is why I've decided to start the month with challenges to escape my vices and institute healthy habits. First up for the daily challenge is swapping one unhealthy snack for a healthy one. http://innovatechallenge.weebly.com/march.html

February Week 4 My Time Challenge

Do a little future work everyday. This should spread out my work in order to create more free time everyday.

[innovatechallenge]

This one was a little difficult, considering Valentine's Day was this week:P Hopefully, my girlfriend will forgive me that I hadn't made any elaborate plans. We still enjoyed ourselves trying out a new restaurant that we found as we took a walk through the neighborhood.

February My Time Week 2 Challenge

No plans this week. I’ll continue to go to work, but I’ll make sure that there are no plans or appointments during my free time. This means I am able to do whatever I want.

[innovatechallenge]

I have to say that this wasn't as hard as it seemed. Sure, there were times when I wanted to check up on facebook or the news, but it gave me some extra time to do some studying.

February My Time Week One Challenge

Go one day this week with no access to facebook, social networks, or internet use. I have a feeling that I’m going to get bored at work because of this one.

February My Time Challenge Week 3

Get away from everything for at least a half hour each day. With all the new gadgets, it's like the world is at our fingertips. We can quickly access the news from around the world, unwind with a game, or check in with our friends through messaging apps. Although this can be good in some ways, it sometimes feels that even in my downtime I'm working. This week I'm going to make sure I get at least 30 minutes away from the distractions of the modern world, even if it means going for a late night run along the beach. http://innovatechallenge.weebly.com/february.html

My Time Daily Challenge

Refuse one request each day to make more time for myself. Now, I'm not planning to be an ass to people. I'll try to choose ones that won't really affect anyone other than myself. http://innovatechallenge.weebly.com/february.html

February Challenge- My Time

Well, I know what some of you may be thinking, "What the hell does 'My Time' mean?" It's exactly that. All the challenges are about creating or using "my time". I chose this one to focus on creating more time for myself. It's not so much about being selfish, as it is about finding time to collect myself after or before a workday. I don't want to burn myself out to keep up with engagements and appointments, especially during the winter time when I'm more likely to get sick. I'm hoping these help to relieve some of the day to day stress and free up some time for myself to do other things.
