Friday, October 29th, 2010

Today’s your last day to get a copy of Sticky-Note Love for 1/2 price! At midnight I will be taking it off the market for two weeks. On November 15 I will make the updated version available, at the full price. If you’ve purchased it at half price, you will receive the updated version at [...]

100 Thing Challenge Wrap-Up

Friday, October 29th, 2010

I easily lived with only 100 personal things for the Month of October. The 100 Thing Challenge ended up not being a challenge at all. There were only a couple of things that I missed, and a number of things that I never used. What I missed Two things. I can think of only two [...]

Life List Roundup

Wednesday, October 27th, 2010

A lot of the reason that I’m undertaking the 100 Thing Challenge is because a minimalist lifestyle will help me to complete items on my Life List. There are a number of names for a life list: bucket list, Things to do before I die, 43things, etc. No matter what you call it, the basic [...]

Sticky-Note Love now available!

Monday, October 25th, 2010

One of my goals has been to write an ebook. I’ve mentioned this before. Even though I’ve had a number of ideas, and written a number of outlines, it has taken me this long to finally finished one, and here it is! What it’s about It’s about keeping the romance burning in your relationship. It [...]

Why I Decided to Undertake the 100 Thing Challenge

Friday, October 22nd, 2010

It might seem foolish for me to try the 100 Thing Challenge, since I’m not getting rid of my non-100 things, but only stashing them away temporarily. My closet still has more clothes than I actually wear, my patio storage has quite a collection of tools and camping gear stashed into it (more impressive because [...]

Defining Minimalism

Wednesday, October 20th, 2010

I’m not anti-stuff. I like having nice quality things around me. I enjoy my motorcycle, I get a lot of use from my laptop, and I’d love to have a really nice digital camera. However, it can seem that way, since I’ve been eliminating things from my life during the Minimalism Experiment and now that [...]

I Still Have Stuff

Monday, October 18th, 2010

I’m currently undertaking the 100 Thing Challenge, and I worked through the Minimalist Experiment earlier this year. However, this doesn’t mean that I have gotten rid of everything that I own. While I enjoy reading about people who only live with what they can fit in their backpack, that is not my goal. I DO [...]

100 Thing Update

Friday, October 15th, 2010

I’ve been living with the 100 Thing Challenge for about three weeks now. I thought there would have been more to write. My expectations included at least a couple of update posts by now. However, my life hasn’t actually been affected all that much. My day-to-day routine hasn’t changed any, except that it’s easier for [...]

No Soap or Poo

Wednesday, October 13th, 2010

When I announced the 100 Thing Challenge, Rebecca commented about the lack of soap or shampoo on my list. (Toothpaste I share with my wife.) Instead of responding in a comment, I thought that this topic deserved its own post. Some time ago, I ran across this article about not using soap or shampoo. That [...]

Contents of My Wallet

Monday, October 11th, 2010

Since I recently listed what I carry in my pockets and on my keychain, I thought that I should detail my wallet as well. I love my wallet, and have been carrying it for over 3 years now. I received it as a gift, and thus am not sure where it came from. In fact, [...]
