    Balancing Consumption Develop a Work-Life Balance
    How does practicing a work-life balance create a more sustainable life for you? How might it contribute to sustainability more broadly?

    Practicing a work-life balance makes a more sustainable life for me because it makes me more conscious of what I spend my time doing. For example, instead of shopping or spending time on my phone, I am making goals on how to be a better employee or I am focused on my homework.

    Creativity is a necessary ingredient for practicing simplicity because it reduces waste and also saves money.
