The 100 Things Challenge - Day 1

This is a new project.


I've always appreciated minimalism and I try not to buy tons of stuff but boy do I have a ton of crap.

But thinking of the stuff I need I can't see myself getting to 100 things. Tennis stuff, running stuff, gym stuff, skiing stuff, surfing stuff, work clothes, winter and summer clothes, without thinking too hard I can think of loads of stuff I need.

The first stage is counting what I think I need - the rest I am going to put in the loft or ebay. Once they've been packed away and untouched for a year I can throw away.

100 things may not be sensible for my life - but I want to come up with a sensible level and stick to it.

Need - Obviously I don't need almost anything - the plan is to keep stuff I use. And get rid of the stuff I don't. I do not want to have to get rid of stuff for the sake of it and make my life harder in anyway. So I could get rid of my palm pilot - I don't really need it - but I use it often and don't want to get rid of it to hit an arbitrary target.
