My goal this year was to have a 10% reduction in my collection and i did not succeed I ended up with a 5.5% reduction in my collection. I really wanted this years goal to be get my collection to under $1000 items but I don’t see that being a possibility at all.
Final Results
Final Totals By Month and Category
As usual travel months May and Oct always yield so much better usage results for me.
Pie Charts
As usual Skincare is the most and Home Scents are the second most.
And here is my entire years breakdown.
I ended up with 71 less items but I wanted to end up with over 100 less items so not that great unfortunately. Still moving in a positive direct and a smaller collection then last year so need to just keep that trend going.
I ended up using about 6 more items per month then came into my collection.
I am going to keep the same goal of a 10% reduction even though I don’t think I will meet that. I also really want to focus on decluttering more thing that I’m not using or don’t like.
Here we are finishing out the year. I think i really need to lower my goals I’ve been ambitious and have not been meeting them.
