Declutter Plan by Zone With Decision Rules for Keep, Donate, Sell, Bin
Declutter without overwhelm.
Added October 15, 2026. Written with AI assistance and checked for clarity and placeholders; not reviewed by a lawyer, accountant, clinician or other professional. How these prompts are made
The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.
[VERIFY] is an editorial flag, not a blank to fill. Wherever the prompt shows [VERIFY], check that item against a reliable source before you use it (what [VERIFY] means).
Create a declutter plan for [HOME_SIZE_AND_TYPE]. Zones that bother me most: [PROBLEM_ZONES]. Time per week: [WEEKLY_TIME]. Reasons for decluttering (move, space, stress): [REASONS]. Items that are hard to decide on: [HARD_ITEMS].
Provide an order of zones, a time-boxed routine (25-minute sessions with a plan), decision rules for keep, donate, sell, recycle and bin, with five test questions per category ('would I buy it again today?', 'when did I last use it?'), handling of sentimental items (a keepsake box with a size limit and a photograph option), a plan for selling or donating (set a deadline and a drop-off day), and a maintenance routine to prevent buildup. Add a progress tracker by zone and a rule for items belonging to others.
Keep a kind tone. Do not suggest throwing away documents that may be needed; direct me to check retention guidance [VERIFY].
Add a table for the first zone with item category, count before, count after, and time taken, and a rule that anything left in the 'maybe' box for 90 days goes out unopened. Include a short script for family members who disagree about an item, and a reminder to keep tax, legal and warranty papers until retention periods are verified.
