Clearout once every 6 months works a treat for me. Bikes aside obviously, I can pack everything I own into 1 Nissan Micra and go from there. Even more than that, I can pack all I "really" need into 1 bag and still survive.
It's a bit on the extreme spectrum, but it can be added to or taken away from depending on how your life develops. One of the toughest/best moves was books. It took around 4 months to cull them down to the dozen that I truly could not get rid off, the rest I either gave away or bought on Kindle.
The funny thing is like everyone else here, when stuff is in boxes for long enough, you really fail to remember what it was in there you wanted to keep so badly.
