Mitch Mission Update W.E. 11/21/2015

I gave myself 5 missions this past Sunday to complete over the week. A green Mission means it was completed, a yellow Mission means it was semi/mostly completed, and a red Mission means it was not completed.

60% of my Missions were completed this past week.

Minimalism - Donate/toss/recycle/sell 10 items. I am bringing back another full car-load from my house to my apartment, and I really don't have the space for everything.

• In order to complete this Mission, I was planning on having everything from my last trip to my house to my apartment, and that didn't even happen until today. I have plenty of stuff to complete this Mission, just didn't happen this week. 

Investing - Find out every service I have a recurring subscription for, analyze those subscriptions for usage, and consolidate this information on to 1 excel sheet. I'm looking for opportunities to save money.

• Completed - read about it here: Subscription Costs 

Technology - Remove 5 apps from my phone.

• Completed - If you want, read this too: Apps that Didn't Make the Cut

Conservation - Finally order those re-usable produce bags.

• Completed - I ordered 12 bags off of ETSY. I feel good knowing they're being made by hand. I haven't used ETSY before, but so far it's been a pretty easy process.

Health - Go to the gym Tuesday through Saturday. Monday's are too busy.

• Nope.

New Missions for W.E. 11/28/2015

Minimalism - Don't shop (for anything out of the norm) on Black Friday. I'm planning on meeting a friend for coffee, but this'll be at a local coffee shop. Regardless of any amazing deals, I'm not going to go Black Friday Shopping. (Could be cross-listed with Technology and Conservation)

Investing - Compile a list of the companies I'm interested in investing in for the rest of 2015.

Technology - Turn off my phone for at least two hours during Thanksgiving dinner/family time. I need to focus on enjoying time with family and not being distracted by my phone. (Could be cross-listed with Minimalism)

Conservation -  See if there are opportunities for me to use items on Lauren's list from Trash is for Tossers - http://www.trashisfortossers.com/2013/08/zero-waste-alternatives-ultimate-list.html

Health - Don't be a pig for Thanksgiving dinner. I don't really know how I can measure/quantify this. Maybe I'll get 2 plates max of food, and only 2 desserts - 1 bar and 1 slice of pie.

Signed,

Mitch
