If you don’t know what GAG (Going against the Grain) Goals are, Andy Drish uses them over on his blog. The basic idea is to set a goal for yourself that different than your normal routine, different in a good way. I’ve decided to use this concept from time to time in my life.
So for the next couple of weeks my GAG goal will be to not use Air conditioning in my home. The benefits include lower energy costs and it is also better for the environment. The downside is of course I’ll be sweating in the 95 degree heat here in Fargo, ND. But it wouldn’t be going against the grain unless it were difficult.
Finally a special thanks to Andy, who introduced me to GAG.
Just a quick update. Trying to sleep without air conditioning is tough. Its tougher than I thought it would be. I’m not really sure how people used to sleep in the heat. I have struggled to sleep all week and the effects are draining, but I only have a couple of days left so I’ll tough it out.
