More on the 100 Thing Challenge
As I read further into the book The 100 Thing Challenge by Dave Bruno, I learned a few things.
This man liked his shoes! But he eventually got rid of them.
“The 100 Thing Challenge proved a handy way to get rid of stuff that was never going to fix my past or make me someone that I was not. It turned out I had quite a bit of stuff for that purpose. I had a lot of shoes, for example, shoes for all different kinds of manly purposes.”
- Snow boots
- Cycling shoes
- Outdoor soccer cleats
- Indoor soccer shoes
I know it is difficult to let go of things that define who you think you are or what you would like to be. But in order to get down to what really matters, you have to do what Dave Bruno did and focus on who you really are.

Are you afraid to start an organizing project just to be overwhelmed or lose motivation in the middle, to be left with even more chaos? You are not alone. That’s the fear of most people who don’t have time to allot to a big organizing project.
