My buddy Dave has started a new blog talking about his mission to simplify and declutter his life (and yours) called Stuck in Stuff. And over the weekend he did the most amazing thing:

But I have an idea. A spontaneous idea that might change my life forever. I’m calling it the 100 Thing Challenge. And I’m taking it. Here is how it goes. I’m going to only keep 100 things. All the rest gets purged. Sold. Given away. Traded ;-) Some how, all the other things will no longer remain in my possession.

I don’t know if I could do it. Just looking at my desk I have about a dozen personal possessions right in front of me. I’ll have to take a personal inventory and get back to you. But I’m rooting for Dave—the cluttered and overwhelmed part of me is hoping he can pull it off.

Could you live with only 100 personal possessions? What would you keep? What would you throw away? Leave Dave a comment with your thoughts.
