- My SMART goal was to only turn on the heat for my apartment between 10pm and 8am for the next ten weeks. I actually achieved this SMART goal because it was not so cold that I had to turn on the heat.
It was extremely successful for me to not turn the heat at all to keep my electric bill costs down. The temperatures did not get so low for me to have to do anything about it.
I felt really happy about the wonderful weather pretty much every day thinking about my SMART goal. I feel pretty good about the upcoming bill in the next two weeks from Minnesota Power.
I learned that your SMART goals can be achieved if the weather is nice--depending on the type of goal you set.
For next week I need to buy plastic for all my windows so that I do not have to turn on the heat for another week weather permitting. The only way for me to modify my goal or what I am doing to achieve it would depend on the climate changes.
Sarra glad to hear you goal is going well. You definitely had a warm week to start! Hopefully the weather will let you enjoy it a little while longer - we recently put plastic on some windows in our house too so good idea there that will help too. Keep that bill down!
ReplyDeleteThat is great that you didn't have to turn on your heat at all! Hopefully we will have a warm winter, or start of winter anyways, so this SMART goal doesn't make you freeze in your apartment! We are going to be covering our windows soon too, and I have never done it before, so maybe you could give me some tips!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Good to hear you achieved your goal. It's a good thing to start thinking about getting plastic on your windows now, so when it does get cold you are ahead of the game and can keep achieving your goal. Keep up the good work.
