Foolishness about decluttering

[walkitout]

Let’s play a little game. I think we all know the one in one out rule.

The one in two out rule was rudely brought to our attention a few years ago, during 45’s tenure when he attempted — futilely — to apply it to government regulations.

How many of these can we fine?

I’m not finding anything for one-in-four-out; mostly I got HDMI splitter boxes.

5 out appears to have something meaningful to do with basketball. Please do not explain it to me.

6 produced more splitter boxes.

7 produces some stuff about craps. Please do not explain it to me.

8 taught me about 8 out of 10 cats.

9 had a lot of stuff about percentages and arithmetic tricks.

The usual suspects have one for the number 10: https://www.theminimalists.com/in/. I found it via secondary coverage at apartment therapy, and that’s what kicked this off.

I was hoping for more people blogging about experiments along these lines, but apparently no.

One of my relatives set a resolution to remove one thing from her house every day, all year. It's the most ambitious one I've seen recently. I sure couldn't do it.
