A key part of this challenge is to record a weekly consumption diary. This will both hold me accountable to readers of this blog, and will allow me to think about my consumption habits.

As a reminder:

• Exempt items are those classes of goods that I am allowed to purchase new, such as food and cleaning supplies.

• Watched items are items that I am allowed to purchase, but that I would like to cut back on. Examples include travel and certain productivity softwares. I will also always include a justification for these items.

• Restricted items are items I am not allowed to buy new.

Finally, I will also record the goods I have sold or donated.
