The 100 Challenge

I was fascinated by an article I read in TIME Magazine about a man named Dave Bruno who started the 100 Thing Challenge after realizing how much his family’s stuff was weighing him down. Bruno’s writings about his purging efforts are recorded on his blog, guynameddave.com, and has started quite the cult following. What fascinated me was the idea of culling down your belongings to only 100 and how liberating that would feel.

Okay, sure, if you have kids it would be impossible to reduce your treasures down to only 100, so leave your kids stuff alone and just work on your own things. Things like… the hat you bought in New Orleans from that great hat shop in the Quarter but never wore. Or the size 2 jeans you will never wear again (it is okay to admit it). Or the 4 aluminum pie pans that have been in your kitchen cupboard for 5 years and are all scrunched up. I bet there’s all kinds of stuff you could part with painlessly!!
