Episode notes
Set Realistic Water Goals
- Expect limited water-use reductions in households with athletic teens who need daily showers.
- Focus on small changes and measure outcomes; even a 3.6% drop counts when family routines are fixed.
Reduce Family Driving Gradually
- Track and aim to lower combined car miles but expect baseline driving from work and sports.
- Reduce trips where possible and set a new target (e.g., 6,000 miles) as a realistic next step.
Prioritize Seven Hours In Bed
- Prioritize sleep by targeting seven hours in bed nightly; the feel-good payoff is dramatic.
- Aim for consistent in-bed time even if sleep-onset latency means actual sleep is less.
