How am I doing?

After all these weeks of keeping a record of weekly usage values for the various categories during the 90 Percent Project, I thought it might be useful to begin comparing quarterly results. When recording results a week or two at a time, it’s easy to lose sight of progress over a period of time.

Since we have now completed two full quarters of the project, the following graph shows the progress I’ve made so far. I must admit that I was a little surprised, and pleased, for the most part. The trash and consumer goods categories look as if they could use a little improvement. The second quarter included Christmas and a refurbished laptop purchase, so there is that explanation. As far as trash goes, the second quarter also included the basement flood and disposing of many soggy boxes and items. It still all counts, though.
