In my journey to a more minimalistic lifestyle, I am embarking on a 500 Things Challenge. This challenge may eventually become the 1,000 Things Challenge – depending on my de-cluttering itch. Basically, this year, I will try to get rid of 500 items from my home. I gift these items to friends, return them to their rightful owners, donate them to charity or trash. I am keeping a list to be accountable and I will keep adding to this list throughout the year.

How are your new year goals and resoluations coming along?
Cheers,
Car?!?! thats a big one! I like this goal, it’s really attainable and trackable. Good job!
Yes, it is! But I’ll just count it as one item. I actually remembered it afterwards…. 😛
Great job!! Wow! My goals are going slowly… lol! I need to bump up my 100 items list too…
It took a while to get started, but being accountable helps!
Why 500 items? 🙂 Just curious…
Just a random big number. I also liked the sound of it from Fabulissime. It’s straight forward and easy to track. I may bump it up to 1,000 if I reach 500 easily.
I want to do this too. But I already sorted out three huge bags of clothes for donation and am too lazy to count them individually. Maybe I’ll have a “10 piles” challenge!
Same here! I thought about this challenge after I already had 2 piles. So I just counted the new items I added to the pile this year. Whatever works!
I love how you threw your car there, almost as though it was an afterthought and not a huge change!
LOL! It was a huge change, but I kinda forgot about it as an item I could use as part of my challenge 🙂
Every little and big bit counts.
