I will not work more than 8 hour days each day to practice work-life balance.

I will fix faucets or report leaky faucets to facilities that have been wasting up to 9 gallons (34 L) of water a day or 270 (1,020 L) gallons of water a month per faucet.

I will take a walk outside for 15 minutes each day.

I will avoid wasting water while waiting for the shower or sink to heat up.

I will work from home 1 day(s) to avoid my commute's carbon output.

We may find more meaning and joy in life when our actions are aligned with our personal values. I will determine what my top 3-5 core values are so that I can better align my actions with them.
