Consumption Diary #9
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.
Physical EXEMPT Items Purchased
…NOTHING!
Digital EXEMPT Items Purchased

Digital WATCHED Items Purchased
RESTRICTED Items Purchased
Items Sold or Donated.
FINAL THOUGHTS.
That’s right folks, I bought nothing this week. This probably hasn’t happened my entire adult life. It doesn’t even feel like that much of an achievement. I just don’t buy things any more, and am fine with it.
