About what I deselected, changed, and didn't add:
The food waste diary seemed too informal
Ordered the shower head, but haven't installed it yet
Did learn about some energies but had to give it shorter time
Didn't get to go to a bus station this month
I've had more meatless meals this month, but it's hard to register the change for this week
