    To bad I realized it after the date was locked out, that I could go in and a document a day later. The first weekend I had missed, and tried to document on Monday was locked out. Later I missed documentation and I was able to go in on past dates. That was a nice option.

    It is easier to turn the water off when I brush my teeth, than to check in. Is there an app for one healthcare Eco challenge?

      An app would be way easier. I have pinned the website onto my phone so it’s easier to get to. Not as easy as an app, but better than trying to find the website 😅

    I like to watch TV in the evening, and sometimes end up staying up late to finish an episode. Instead, I started to watch them on my time, rather it be on the weekends or earlier in the day. This switch gives me freedom to get more sleep.

    I take 10 minutes of my lunch break to reflect on the day. I try to think of things that bring me joy, or something I can do to bring others joy and follow through.

    I no longer add sugar to my coffee. I was not addicted to sugar as much as I find myself addicted to carbs.

    I stopped drinking pop and tea, instead drink water in their place.
