I decided to itemize all my possessions and recently built a tool to do so:

https://litemize.com

I'm in the process of itemizing everything,

And my aim is to keep the number below 200 items (excluding books) and 500 items in total, and to minimize purchase and disposal activity.

Can you tell a bit more about the motivation behind itemizing things and how litemize help ?

Passwords like haQ#YuaDC3&j!mm^ are rejected.

BTW: I like the idea behind https://synced.to/, I have entertained the idea of geotagged digital/virtual tag/graffiti for a while without doing anything about it.

Thanks for checking it out, and the helpful feedback. I'll fix it.

There's a few motivations. One was me noticing how I'd somehow just accumulated stuff over time, and I've seen the longer term result of that with my parents. So I wanted to be on top of what I'm getting and why, how long I'm using it for and also how I'm disposing of it.

A second motivation is to use others' lists to make more considered decisions.

And thirdly I'm curious to figure out what might be the minimal set of things one needs to live comfortably.

And cheers, I'm working on an update to Synced which I think will be quite cool! (coming in the next couple of months).
