"Days left" provides a powerful way to arrange items on your shopping list.
But every asset you own has a certain number of days left.
It's either running out, wearing out, or expiring. For example:
- I have 38 days' supply of shampoo left (38 days left)
- I can wear this shirt to work (once per week) for ten more weeks (70 days left)
- I need a haircut in five weeks (35 days left)
- I'll need another car in three years (1095 days left)
The days left of an asset is calculated by dividing the asset's amount left by it's usage rate.
Of course, some of these are going to be way off (often because the usage rate is off), but that's fine.
Keep in mind that:
- As an asset's days left get smaller (and the need to replace the asset gets more urgent)
they get more accurate.
- In time, you'll learn you'll learn how to estimate an asset's days left more accurately
from your own experience, other members' experience, and the manufacturer.
- MakeLifeEasy helps you to easily manage, re-use, and improve your "days left" values
for assets and needs.
Once you know the days left for the assets you're managing, you get these benefits:
- Smart shopping lists that are ordered with the most urgent needs first.
- You can forecast and make more efficient purchases.
- Better yet, you can share your need forecasts with merchants and they can
significantly reduce the cost and hassle of fulfilling your needs.
