My biggest cost driver is eating out after having almost 3 years of spending tracking. The thing about Eating out its – necessity, its recreation, Experiencing new things, and its a social activity. To be able to reduce Eating out means MORE planning and predicting. Planning Meals, Flavors, and Occasions. I can only expect to influence costs 5-10% per quarter – transforming some of these expenses to Supplies/Groceries and prepped healthier food.
Slowly I’m learning to see something and look 2 weeks ahead. I’ve learned the “Pull” system when buying something* – was there a Pull – an Event triggering the Need for something. Its Taking the “PULL” and casting that trigger forward in time.
Next Action is finding time to Create a BOK on Meal Planning, as it will get more efficient (take less time) over time and frequency of usage.
The 2 weeks forecast is for Disposal of waste (extra food that is not worth storing) how much supplies to prepare, and what to do NOW that would be easier than when I do it Later. One of the things I come out with is the ability to Predict how much time everything cost and assigning it a Schedule.
Next Action When I make lists and jot down my ideas, where do I organize them to Que and Prioritize based on these New Foeward “Pull” system.
* the need for a developed and procedural Pull System is because of the Marketing and Consumerism Interest and Pressures exerted on us. It has gotten really good to convince to buy stuff we don’t need and to Ignore the Due Diligence.
