101 Things
101 days of purging items from my life, while spending time on self discovery and healthy living.
The simple guidelines for me
- 101 items (physical or digital, heck maybe even spiritual) must vacate the home prior to Thanksgiving 2018
- Similar items should be lumped into 1, for example a pile of boards would be 1 item for the day vs 8 boards.
- Reduce reuse recycle! Attempt to not throw anything away unless it can’t be sold at a yard sale or given to Goodwill.
- The process will be my own items and not my wife or kids items.
