Clean sweep
Our resolution for 2008 was to clear the clutter. The most challenging part of being married so far has been trying to combine the assorted treasures of two creative twenty-somethings (and now +one little sprout) into one functioning household! There has been a constant flow of Trademe packages going out the door, many trips to Habitat and the tip….a few sighs….a wee bit of facing reality including a sad farewell to a certain Kombi van…..it hasn’t been easy and we still have a long way to go.
So I’m absolutely in awe of Dave Bruno, an online entrepreneur who apparently looked around his San Diego house one day and realized how much his family’s belongings were weighing him down. “Stuff starts to overwhelm you” he realised, and thus began what he calls the 100 Thing Challenge. Dave’s online journal of his slow and steady purge, (with the goal of living for a whole year with only 100 things) has developed quite a cult following online, inspiring others to launch their own countdown to clutter-free living. To a girl who usually has more than 100 things just in her bag, this guy sounds like a legend! His blog is here.
