This 12 months I’m aiming to thunk 5 samples/decants per week, so 20 for the month however that sounds too huge so I’m carving chunk sized chunks. Extra if doable, there’s a tonne of them right here to be handled. Each thunk is known as a WIN, as a result of let’s face it who doesn’t want just a few further wins? These are simple wins however hopefully will give us all a way of accomplishment that may carry over into each day life.

February New Concept

A bit of recap for many who have forgotten.

How It Works

1. It doesn’t matter what dimension the pattern or decant it solely counts as ONE win.
2. To rely as a win the decant MUST be thunked. Yeah, I do know however that is how I’m enjoying it. You possibly can have your personal guidelines in case you like.
3. Multiples in a day are acceptable. So, in case you empty one thing within the morning, one other after work and one other earlier than mattress that counts as THREE wins.
4. Producer Journey Measurement just isn’t a pattern or decant.
5. On the finish of every efficiently accomplished month I’m allowed to reward myself with a splurge from ONE fragrance retailer. Yeah that’s proper. Positive you should buy 20 issues if it makes you content however it needs to be ONE etailer or retailer in ONE TRANSACTION.

I’m going to have fun by making a gift of a US$50 Present Voucher to Surrender To Chance for each profitable month to 1 fortunate random commenter. Cool eh?
