I think I’m becoming a hoarder.
At this point I can’t imagine living my life with 100 things–although I’d like to think I could. Maybe the idea is to start and reduce. I wonder if it is different for women than men. But then, I look around and I see:
- half used make up,
- unopened foundations,
- multiple half used tubes of toothpaste,
- books I promise myself that I’m going to read and never do (and really have no interest in)
- seven different colours of post-it note,
- three somewhat used spiral notebooks, and
- three small pads.
Do you think you could?

I did try to pare down my stuff after I died (THE HEARTBLOCK) but it has since risen to an even bigger collection. I would have thought that your recent move would have assisted in this process. I shoud sort stuff out again but I suspect that I have more than 100 bits of stuff connected with my painting hobby. Maybe I need to live out of a suitcase for a while?
I’m sure I could get down to 100 things by buying much more expensive things (an iPad and iPhone could replace literally hundreds of books, board games and CDs etc etc) but somehow this would be missing the point.
I think a wonderful challenge would be simply to be content with what you have now, rather than randomly throwing stuff out and trying to achieve some odd kind of production line efficiency in living
