Spring cleaning tactics

I know, a little late for spring cleaning, but after I painted the walls in the living and dining room I'm in the mood to declutter and organize.
My tactics?
One room at a time. I can move stuff out of the room but not into the room.

So far I have two rooms done, the clutter has been moved into other rooms. But that is OK, because when it is their turn, I can't move stuff into that room OR into any of the finished rooms.

So everything that isn't being used will end up in the garage.
I'm going to get a bunch of cardboard boxes and separate them into three areas.
One is for donations, one is for stuff my sons might want, and one is for stuff to be boxed up and kept in the garage. Rules ? All the areas have to end up equal, so 2/3 of the 'stuff' migrating to the garage will have to leave the house.

I'm not a pack rat, but clutter can creep up on you if you don't take a hand in keeping it at bay.
