I'm notoriously bad at not modifying my environment! Both steps can be challenging. My office can get quite hot and sometimes I have to sweat quite a bit before I get to the noticing part. Then getting to the opening the window part can be quite hard as well, especially if I'm in the zone! Who wants to open a window when you can sweat and keep working?

I'm getting better at it as I get older, and feel so proud of myself when I do. Possibly more proud than I ought to be, but I say, take the wins where you can get them!

Modify Your Environment Comic Transcript

Thing 1 and Thing 2 are in conversation. They're both smiling.
Thing 1: In the morning, I opened the curtains.

Thing 1: And then later, at night, I closed the curtains.

Thing 1 has a huge grin on their face.
Thing 1: I NOTICED my environment.
Thing 1: AND I modified it.

Thing 2: I'm very proud of you.
Thing 1: ME TOO!
