I know this is sort of a common sense thing, but If you let something into your life that requires a lot of gear or accessories, immediately creating a place for these items will help prevent it from becoming clutter.
For example, I just started messing with RC Rock Crawlers and immediately had a bunch of extra parts, cars, radios, batteries, etc. Before I adopted this system, I would have thrown all this on a shelf, which would eventually be overrun with unrelated stuff. Instead, I grabbed a small bin with a lid and put it all in there. I've since upgraded to one of my medium sized bins, with the original small inside.
I also have a large size bin (the black and yellow ones from Costco). For anything going in my car I use ActionPackers, which I find to be a little more rugged and easy to access.
Another positive I've found with this is that I can move at a moment's notice. I would need to spend a day packing up my furniture, kitchen, art and clothes, but everything I own is boxed up and stored. I would be ready for the movers to show up the next day.
