"About the 100 Thing Challenge

The 100 Thing Challenge has been a way to personalize my efforts to fight American-style consumerism and live a life of simplicity, characterized by joyfulness and thoughtfulness.

That said, a lot of other people are participating, too. Thanks! Keep up the good work.

•It would be awesome if you joined the conversation on the 100 Thing Challenge Page on Facebook.
•Also, it would be totally cool if you joined the conversation at my guynameddave Twitter, just remember to use the #100TC hash if you tweet about the 100 Thing Challenge.
The goal of the 100 Thing Challenge is to break free from the confining habits of American-style consumerism. A lot of people around the world feel “stuck in stuff.” They feel like their closets and garages are too full of things that don’t really make their lives much better. But how to get unstuck?

Reduce (get rid of some of your stuff)

Refuse (to get more new stuff)

Rejigger (your priorities)

I totally believe that living without an abundance of personal possessions for an extended period of time is the first step we ought to take in order to realize that we don’t need ever-more stuff.

If you do this — if you will give up your stuff for a while — I am sure you’ll never go back. You’ll spend the rest of your life creating a more valuable life, instead of wasting your money and time on stuff. You will be glad. And best of all, the people around you will be blessed by your efforts to prioritize more meaningful pursuits."

only problem is, I think there are many on this board that couldn't even go down to 100 Pearl Jam things, never mind 100 things in total.

I hate when things are only available to read or participate in on Facebook,I feel so left out,as Facebook is 1 of my 100 things I choose not to have
