WritingWeaver Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 The rules are simple. As detailed on "The Minimalists" blog, http://www.theminimalists.com/game/: Find a friend or family member: someone who’s willing to get rid of their excess stuff. This month, each of you must get rid of one thing on the first day. On the second, two things. Three items on the third. So forth, and so on. Anything can go! Clothes, furniture, electronics, tools, decorations, etc. Donate, sell, or trash. Whatever you do, each material possession must be out of your house—and out of your life—by midnight each day. It’s an easy game at first. However, it starts getting challenging by week two when you’re both jettisoning more than a dozen items each day. Whoever can keep it going the longest wins; you both win if you can make it all month. Bonus points if you play with more than two people. This PVP will start on Nov. 2, 2015 and run for 6 weeks. Are you in? * Thanks to ShadowLion for letting me start a new challenge! I am using the 6 week challenge dates instead of a month just to keep the dates simplistic (I've had challenges that run for 10 weeks, 4 weeks, etc and it's confusing).

WritingWeaver Posted October 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 I'm finding it difficult to keep myself from throwing things out right now and I know if I start now, I will run out of things halfway through this challenge lol. Oh well, I suppose I can organize things a little. Quote Weight Loss. 195lbs -> 135lbs (60lbs target loss) 0% 0% Link to comment
Rurik Harrgath Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 I fell off the bandwagon during the last one around Day 18. With a 6-day period of days off starting tomorrow, I'm going to attempt to start over with the Minimalism Game from Day 1 and see how far I get this time, but with the caveat that I will have to plan ahead through my work schedule. Because I don't do a bloody thing during my long, exhausting work week.

Marauder Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 I think I'm going to jump in for this one as well. We've been doing this a bit for the last year or so, but haven't set hard goals and limits. This may be just the thing going into Christmas as well. Seeing and eliminating things I've spent my hard-earned cash on makes me less likely to ADD to the collection as well. 1 Quote Rangering since Sept 2015 Link to comment

WritingWeaver Posted November 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 Is six weeks going to be too much for some people? I hadn't realized just how many items that would be for a whole six weeks, but I can change it to 30 days if everyone wants Quote Weight Loss. 195lbs -> 135lbs (60lbs target loss) 0% 0% Link to comment
jmk Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 I think for me to keep track best, I'm going to jump ahead a count and start with two today so I'm consistent with the date. I know I could keep track of being one behind the date, but this will be easier for me along with my other goals.Here's my two for today...A pair of buttons and a pair of flip flops. 1 Quote Goal Weight: 145 Current Challenge Link to comment
