Streamlining
As a chronically messy person, I’m really impressed with this guy’s “100 Thing Challenge” — a decision to pare down all posessions to the most essential.
Time’s Lisa McLaughlin wrote about it a couple of weeks ago.
If I tried the challenge, could I really give up all my books? Does a binder full of CDs count as one thing, or 50? A week of laundry probably counts for 30 things. Add in items like toothpaste and shampoo and you’re down 10 more things. How about furniture? Does my bed count as a thing? And if so, what about the pillows, sheets and comforter? Do the personal items on my desk at work count? What would happen to my Skip Prosser bobblehead?
This might take a bit more thought.
