Our week.
Less food waste. More good together.
Day 1 Notice
Choose one food you sometimes struggle to use, such as bread. When you notice it going uneaten, write down the amount and what was happening. A few words are enough.
Day 2 Notice
Add an entry if the same food goes uneaten again. Keep the unit consistent: slices, portions or items. If you do not know why it happened, write “not sure”.
Day 3 Notice
Keep recording the same item. Note anything that affected meals or shopping, such as a changed plan. Do not invent a pattern if nothing repeats.
Day 4 Compare
Take ten minutes to read the notes together. Each person chooses an entry and describes what was happening. Ask what information or option would have helped.
Day 5 Choose
Pick a recurring situation from your notes. Suggest one specific action for next week, such as checking a shared list before buying bread. Both people should be able to disagree.
Day 6 Agree
Say it together: “We noticed ___. Next week we will try ___ at ___. We will check whether it helped by recording ___.” Adjust the plan if it gives one person all the work.
Day 7 Review
Read the week’s notes and agree when to compare the same item next week. Discuss both the observation and the effort. A useful question is a worthwhile result, too.
A TEN-MINUTE CONVERSATION
One question.
Two experiences.
Ask someone from another generation: “What do we buy or prepare with good intentions, but struggle to use?”
- Each person shares one example. Listen first.
- Describe the circumstances: changing plans, package sizes or meal times.
- Write down one question to explore together.
You can keep it small.
