I've always admired folks who could maintain an in-out system. And good luck with the floor! I've had to let some spots go, or else the stray shoes and cords would make me crazy!

If I want something new, I have to find something of equal volume (or more) to swap out. That swapped out item can go to sold online, given to charity, given away or thrown out (in order of preference). I think your idea of not having clutter magnets is a good one. I am now scanning the room for the surfaces I can get rid of. Then again, sometimes my problem is that I see the floor as storage space too. I promise I will be better :-) One of the techniques I have is to do a swap-in-swap-out system. If I want something new, I have to find something of equal volume (or more) to swap out.
