How did you do this week on the 75 in 75 Challenge? Originally my goal was to eliminate 75 items in 75 days. Well, when I passed that goal by week 3, then I upped the challenge to be 225 items eliminated in 75 days. When I got close to 225 items just one week later in week 4, I set a crazy goal of 750 items eliminated in 75 days. Last week on week 10, I passed that goal with 818 items eliminated from my home.

By simplify, on November 18th, 2010% As I am over half-way through the 75 in 75 Challenge, I have had a lot of time to be able to think about what is truly important (as I have eliminated 314 items to date from my home). And, I will tell you, not much of the physical items around me are all that important. It’s been an eye-opening experience, seeing that an object that I at one point purchased because I “just had to have it” or thought that it would provide value at the time, really holds no true value to me.
