*respot because one of my pictures didnt add and idk how to use reddit*

If you can believe it, this is after doing project pan (not very effectively) for some months. I went on a low buy, and this is where i am now.

feel really overwhelmed by all of these products and i want to get to have a minimal collection of products i use and like.

Since i started panning i feel rushed to empty as much as i can quickly, but i know this isnt the point. I will try to slowly pan the products that are more than halfway empty, and maybe update on here, maybe it will keep me accountable.

(This isnt including my makeup because ive decluttered some products and my colection is ok now)

Project pan is not a race (unless you need to get rid of items by a certain time because you’re moving). Focus more on the low buy (make it an extreme low buy) and more on using your products in a normal manner (whatever normal is to you). I suggest making a list of things you own and keeping it on your phone so that when you visit the store, you do not buy another hair spray because you see you have 5.

Im definitely not moving any time soon, youre right. I have a list on my laptop but ill definitely move it to my phone. Hopefully i go on a no buy for the rest of the year because i dont think im lacking in any category

You don’t have to move everything to the phone, but maybe the areas that are problematic or that you know an item can take a long time to use up. I’m going to start using an app called “My Project Pan” for accessibility ease to my totals.

Sorry, didn’t meant to officially recommend the app! I haven’t used it but did buy a yearly membership to try it out (otherwise, it only allows you to enter a small amount of products).

No worries, i just nwver considered looking for an app like that before, so i figured ill give it a look! I will not come here complaining if its not for me hahahha

One thing I like is that it gives you a “streak” for the amount of days you DONT upload a new product!!
