anyone from Arizona? I am a reporter working on people who have set a specific goal to declutter or having to do with consumerism and am looking for Arizona folks. I am an Arizona Republic Reporter. 602-444-8998, sonja.haller@arizonarepublic.com - http://www.azcentral.com/
Not sure if you are still looking. My wife and I are working on getting down to 100 each. We have made a lot of progress, but still have a way to go. We live in Phoenix near 16 st and Glendale ave. - jason odhner

I've been slowly shedding my gigantic media collection & excess furniture. It feels like a weight slowly being lifted.

Heard about this 100 Thing Challenge in a Sermon yesterday at church. Very interesting and way to go! We have been trying to reduce/reuse and recycle for years. Still have way too much stuff. I'm guilty of saving clothes that I don't use (they still fit) because- why??
Cool. Which church? (BTW, the tagline I once used for the 100TC is "Reduce Refuse Rejigger" - see the old stuckinstuff.com :-) - Dave

Do not forget the boxcutter Swiss is only one item but it contains many. Good luck!

We are thinking of moving, so I've been cleaning out garage/basement/closets by the standard "am I moving this across the country?" Now thinking of staying here, b/c our house is so de-cluttered & nice. :)

Would love to have everyone join the Flickr Challenge Stuff Group. Show some stuff! - Dave
Also if any of you techies out there can figure out how to import the Challenge Stuff group's photo stream into this FF Room, I'd be really really happy for the help. - Dave

Great admonition by the Pope. But take a look at all the banner ads and headlines surrounding this news story in the Telegraph. - Dave from Bookmarklet

I THREW AWAY PRECIOUS JUNK
ok...13 bags of clothes, trinkets...and very precious belongings.....but look...I will always have clutter..in 2 rooms of a 2,000 sq ft home......all the people I know do....I have neighbors with garages full of junk, and the 3 cars are parked outside........and look...sooner or later, I will use all I have accumulated.....you should have seen the rec room before I got rid of 13 plus bags of clutter......I consider the progress so far great, even if I never throw away anything........it was a 20 years collection of junk..... - JOHN AMBROSE

Good point. Let's hope "economic opportunity" doesn't turn into mindless consumption. - http://www.nytimes.com/2008...

New to 100TC...how's it calculated, items or categories?
Linda, I calculate most everything by item. A few items are grouped into categories, underwear for example. But mostly this is a real effort to get down to 100 personal things. - Dave
