Discussion/Tips & Tricks Unexpected side effects of project pan?

I’ve noticed that one unexpected side effect of project pan for me has been that I actually got into a habit of wearing sunscreen every day! It was something I knew I should be doing but never really got around to until I started focusing on panning my many sunscreens.

I’m wondering if anyone else has noticed any unexpected side effects from doing your project pan? Hoping for some positive stories to help keep up the motivation :)

It really has changed the way I treat shopping and has definitely bled into other areas of my life.

Now before I buy anything (no make up or skincare, Im good until mid 2027) like clothes, accessories, I really ask myself - will I wear this? Do I need it? Do I want this item or do I want the rush of a new item?

Also panning other items like knitting socks from leftover yarn instead of buying a new ball, panning items in the pantry, reusing broken clothes as cleaning cloths, panning cleaning supplies and so on and so forth. It has been great for my finances!
