    The 'Before & After' Contrast

    Juxtapose the old, inefficient way of doing things with the new, simple habit, highlighting the ease of the change.

Transcript

Better rehearsals, teaching, traveling, and everything in between, my days move pretty fast. I quickly came to realize how all the little expenses add up, especially with how much I'm on the go. Since my schedule changes constantly, I'm always trying to make smart decisions throughout the day, and I've built a few small habits that help me save money. One of those habits, before I book a ride, I always check a Lyft. I used to automatically open the same rideshare app every single time. Now I take ten seconds to compare both. Prices change all the time, so checking first helps me know that I'm getting the best option before I book. And most of the time, it's Lyft. The habit comes in handy even more when I'm traveling. And with the amount of things that I'm doing in my day, it's stressing over how much it is to get to and from the airport is the last thing I wanna be worrying about. Right when I landed, it was confirmed again that I made the right decision by checking both apps before heading to my hotel. So whether I'm headed to practice, catching a flight, or running across town, taking a few extra seconds to check has become a second nature. When life moves this fast, every little decision counts. Checking Lyft is one of those habits I'll definitely keep.
