Live with 100 things, I mean.
Could you pick through all the clutter you've no doubt compiled over the last (muffled number) years, throw out what you absolutely don't need, and live with only 100 personal possessions?
One man is trying to do just that.
A guy named Dave is in the process of whittling away at his stuff. Keep in mind, this guy Dave is making up his own rules, so he's excluding a whole host of things he doesn't have to get rid of. As I first read through his site, I thought to myself, "well then, what IS he getting rid of?" But as I kept reading, I was motivated. It's a good idea. Sort of felt a connection with him, too, since my family has been without a home for 9 months now. We've been living without the majority of stuff we've compiled over the past (muffled number) years.
Anywho...this guy. He's whittling and compiling, and plans to go full 100-things-only by November 12, 2008.
Here's a portion of his list as it appears on his website:
Basics
- Moleskine journal
- Pentel blue mechanical pencil 0.7mm
- Monteverde ballpoint pen
- Wallet
- Sunglasses
Hygiene
- Toothbrush
- Razor - I use disposables, but count my "active" razor as one item
- Nose and ear hair trimmer - a "gift" from my wife
His list is fluid. He's got some things for sale, and is planning to donate others.
100 things.
Could you do it? Could you live without your "stuff"?
What would be five things you know - right away - you'd HAVE to have on your MUST-HAVE list?
