How often do you rotate your bags?

Well, I hate to say it, but I'm much too lazy to change my bag every day, or to match every outfit! In the past, I have chosen a bag and carried it for the month. As my collection grows, however, I am finding that there are not enough months in the year! So, I may need to move it to every two weeks or so. I sort of have my bags mentally grouped by season.

Obviously, if I am dressing for a meeting or some kind of special event I do take the time to change the bag to match the occasion, but not on a daily basis.

I am so bad at rotating. I seem to carry the same bag (unless a special occasion arrives) for at least one month. I wish I could get in the habit of rotating cause many of my bags are neglected!
 
I don't have a system, but I do tend to switch bags almost daily. I choose, as others have said, based on my mood, the occasion, and what I'm wearing. Most make it in the rotation, but a few do get left out more than others.
 
I rotate based on weather first and foremost (my Kale in Coal can take the rain! it's so impressive!), then occasion or outfit. I will usually try to use a bag for a few days or weeks at a time, unless it rains. Once I use protectant on my Linea Pelle Dylan and my RM MAB, then I might use them even more.
 
I use a pursetogo in my purse and wristlets/card cases and just swap them between bags. It makes changing bags really quick, my only problem is that I don't use the whole variety of wristlets because I change those much less frequently.

I pick a bag based off of a few that are currently floating around my room on door handles and what not... I use a bag for at least a few days in most cases and then switch it out based on weather, what i'm wearing, how big of a bag i need, etc! With an organizer it's really easy though!
 
Like most others, I usually choose my bag depending on my mood, my outfit, and the look I want to go for that day. I change bags daily and will sometimes dress around the bag I want to carry that day.
 
Depending on my mood and the season, I pick a bag. Then, I will dress to suit the bag for a few days or even a week. I'll switch if a special outfit or occasion calls for it, but I usually stick to one bag a week. When I realize that any particular bag has been neglected, I'll figure out why. If it turns out it is too large, or small, or impractical, or whatever, I'll sell it to help with the new bag fund:p.
 
Definitely which bag goes with which outfit! I have some bags that I only carry once every few months because they are dressy/evening bags. Others I have for everyday use. Sometimes it will depend on where I am going....like if the bag might possibly get dirty or something then I will choose a darker color/more inexpensive bag.
 
My system is more season and weather based.
Light coloured bags for spring/summer. Dark for fall/winter.
My exotics only come out in the summer on a day with no rain in the forecast.
My winter bags have to be able to survive snow & slush.
