The 30-Day Declutter

Fifteen minutes a day. One shelf at a time.

The one everybody has.

The timer is a ceiling, not a minimum. Stop when it rings.

Mark it done

Tick the day when the timer rings — not when the room is finished. That is the win you are tracking.

When did you start?

Set this once and the app knows what day you are on. Miss a day? Nothing happens. It just moves on with you — you can always tick an older day on the All 30 tab.

    The three rules, in case you need them again

    1. Set the timer for fifteen minutes and stop when it rings — even mid-shelf.

    2. One shelf is a whole day's work. If a day is bigger than fifteen minutes, cut it smaller and give it two days.

    3. Three piles, decided in the moment. No maybe pile.

    Keep · Bless · Toss

    For the things you get stuck on. Write it down, tap a pile, and let it go. Everything stays on this device.

    The two-question test

    Would I buy this again today? If it disappeared, would I replace it? Two noes and it is a Bless.

    Day 29 is the day the bags leave the house. Fill this in as you go, so day 29 is driving instead of deciding.
