We all live in Maryland. We’re all unique. And yet, a lot of us face a similar set of familiar challenges. Eating healthier, grabbing a bit more fresh air, getting expenses under control, better sleep … you know the list.
That’s why this issue is about embracing the puzzle that solves the rest: ourselves.
For five issues, we’ve brought you solutions that (ideally!) motivate you to save energy—and put money back in your pocket. But what motivates you? For some, it’s a tangible reward. For others, it’s pride in a home well run. Perhaps it’s praise. Perhaps it’s Otterbein’s.
Stop and consider: What helps you get from where you are to where you want to be?
We hope you’ll see Issue 5 as a chance to examine and embrace what makes you you. Maybe you’re a to-do lister. Maybe to-do lists give you night terrors. Maybe you’re a DIYer. Maybe you should hire someone.
No matter who you are, the answer to a more efficient home can always be found in the same place: within.
So, when it comes to making changes, start small. Or … maybe, start big! (Just don’t forget to start.) Because everyone’s unique. And we wouldn’t have it any other way.
