Then take your efficient shower and it washes all the pee down the drain. if you're a guy, leave a 1.5 l water bottle by the toilet and use that to pee in instead of the toilet. Reserve toilet for #2. Then pour bottle into toilet and flush. That will cut your total toilet flushes by three at least. --someone with experience @ “You lost me at “low-flow heads”… just kidding!

Also, resourcefulness is a persistent skill, whereas programming skills needs to be constantly retooled, anyway." You *cannot* "teach" resourcefulness to an adult who does not already possess it. However, what you can do is encourage persistence. Resourcefulness is partly the belief that you can solve something, and partly the result of simple persistence in staying with an issue long enough for a number of potential solutions or options to become apparent. If you double the time you allow yourself to dwell and tinker on a problem you will likely triple or quadruple the number of options you see. Out of all those options, you can pick one that seems the best bet and proceed. @ “In my experience, it’s easier to take a resourceful person and teach them the particular technical skills than to take someone with the technical skills and teach them resourcefullness.
