The one-in, one-out rule

Keep it from coming back.

3 min read

Once a space is clear, a simple rule keeps it that way: when something new comes in, something old goes out.

Making it work

  • Keep a donation bag in a closet and add to it as you go
  • Apply it to clothes, shoes, mugs, books and toys
  • Wait a few days before non-essential purchases
  • Unsubscribe from store emails you don't want
